Sky-high credit-card interest rates are not popular. "He said, you know what, credit-card interest rates, which in some cases right now are 20, 25%, should not be higher than 10%. The average credit-card interest rate for new card offers is 24.43%, according to LendingTree — up about 10 percentage points from a decade ago. "Obviously, the interest rates have to respond to changing market conditions, and we've definitely seen that happen. A rate cap isn't the only solution to America's ballooning credit-card-debt problem and just how expensive it is to carry debt.

☆ Certain foods may disrupt your body’s fight against cancer cells, study says

CNN —The food you eat may be affecting your body’s ability to fight cancer cells in the colon, according to a new study. The potential culprit: an overabundance of certain omega-6 fatty acids — perhaps from ultraprocessed foods in your diet — that may hinder the anti-inflammatory and tumor-fighting properties of another essential fatty acid, omega-3. Linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid that is found in corn, peanut, soybean, safflower and sunflower oils, is the most common omega-6 in the US food supply. “It’s a leap to say that omega-6s from ultraprocessed foods are the cause. Many ultraprocessed foods are made with soybean and other vegetable oils that contain higer levels of omega-6 fatty acids.

☆ Jim Cramer explains why the biggest names in tech are rallying

CNBC's Jim Cramer reviewed Wednesday's record-breaking tech rally, suggesting that the promise of looser government regulations, as well as innovative business, is driving stocks like the Magnificent Seven higher. "They've done well, and now with the antitrust regulators out of their hair, I expect even better returns," he said. The biggest names in tech, especially the Magnificent Seven — Nvidia , Alphabet , Amazon , Meta , Microsoft , Apple and Tesla — led the index higher, Cramer said. But Cramer said he is "of two minds" about the situation, conceding that he understands why some believe these companies are too powerful. This dynamic could become a problem in the future, he continued, but stressed that the Magnificent Seven "are dominant because they're extraordinary" and gave them accolades for their products and profits.

The agency acknowledged the Covid disaster loan program “was an unprecedented program to stand up, scale, and administer during the pandemic.”The economic injury disaster loan program traditionally helped businesses hurt by hurricanes, earthquakes and other localized disasters. Then, in the two years after Covid struck, the agency approved 3.9 million loans totaling $378 billion, a spokesperson said. As of this month, the SBA has referred almost 893,000 Covid disaster loans to Treasury for collections, with nearly all of them sent this year. “It shouldn’t be this hard to pay back a loan,” Harb said. But after following instructions and making several payments by mail to an SBA office in Texas, he learned the Texas office had closed.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden will designate a national monument Monday that will memorialize the federal government's oppression of thousands of Native American children in a boarding school system during the 19th and 20th centuries. Biden will announce the new monument, called the Carlisle Federal Indian Boarding School National Monument and located in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, during the final White House Tribal Nations Summit of his administration this afternoon. "Many Native children were subjected to sexual abuse at the schools. The Carlisle School and national monument will be located on 24.5 acres of what is now the U.S. Army's Carlisle Barracks, which the White House said is one of the oldest military installations in the U.S. The designation follows Biden’s formal apology in October for the boarding school system during a visit to Phoenix, Arizona.

It was normal for kids to leave school in grade 10 or 11, get a job, get married, and have a baby. I started working three jobs when I left school: at the local vineyard, in retail, and at a pub. Despite not having a high school or college degree, I started working for a major international corporation and climbed the corporate ladder. The business started having $100,000 AUD (about $65,000 USD) months and never went back. Both my kids, who are 12 and 10, are enrolled in a business school for kids that teaches them about founding companies.

CNN —The US government has imposed fresh export controls on the sale of high tech memory chips used in artificial intelligence (AI) applications to China. The rules apply to US-made high bandwidth memory (HBM) technology as well as foreign-produced ones. High bandwidth memory (HBM) are basically a stack of memory chips, small components that store data. Experts say the latest export restrictions will slow China’s development of AI chips and, at most stall, its access to HBM. Because AI applications require a lot of complex computing, such traits ensure that these applications run smoothly, without delays or glitches.
