(emphasizing that this is 61% of its $3.5 TRILLION in assets)
https://thehill.com/policy/defense/3740921-defense-department-fails-another-audit-but-makes-progress/
The Defense Department has failed its fifth-ever audit, unable to account for more than half of its assets, but the effort is being viewed as a “teachable moment,” according to its chief financial officer. After 1,600 auditors combed through DOD’s $3.5 trillion in assets and $3.7 trillion in liabilities, officials found that the department couldn’t account for about 61 percent of its assets, Pentagon Comptroller Mike McCord told reporters on Tuesday.

"This morning I discovered something *extremely* alarming happening in the car market, specifically in auto lending," CarDealershipGuy, an anonymous account held by a CEO of a car dealer group whose identity is unknown, wrote on Twitter on Dec. 15.
Despite its mysterious owner, this account is highly followed in the industry because it is well informed.
"I'm now convinced that there is a massive wave of car repossessions coming in 2023," CarDealershipGuy continued.
The anonymous CEO explained that over the past two years, many people took out exorbitant loans on cars, at a time when car values were inflated. Because of the shortage of vehicles due to supply chain problems, these consumers had no choice but to buy cars that were overpriced.
But car valuations are now plummeting. The value of some cars has sharply declined, putting some buyers at risk. They owe banks more than what their cars are worth...

I used to have some friends who lived far north on Wood Street, near the Target in EMeryville basically, next to the tracks. Back then, they called it "Trackside," and it was mostly veteran homeless folks, SSDI queens, and train kids with drinking or heroin problems. I couldn't believe pictures I saw of the Desert Yard this year— I used to walk my dog through there every morning. And in 2009, when I first moved to West O, the whole area was just...pampas grass and some young bums hanging out.

A Hooverville blown up.
yeah, and there's been like 200 fires there in the last year, some quite large/serious - I think CalTrans has started a cleanup, but the last time I walked down Wood St. by the tracks, there were *literally* hundreds of burned out, upside down, abandoned cars - some with residents, most without. The days of a few scruffy campfire trimmigrants with dogs on chains are over, it's like a whole thunderdome city down there, right beneath the commuters on their way to work
― Andy the Grasshopper, Friday, 23 December 2022 02:19 (one year ago) link
I hesitate to say anything about the demographics of people living there— I lived in a converted UHaul truck and worked fulltime for my last years in the Bay Area. Yeah, I was a punk and would occasionally hop a train or whatever, but most of the time, I went to work just like everyone else who could afford a fancy apartment.

Listen, I work hard. I sit for at least five hours every day in a big office where people come to me constantly to make reports and lay out elaborate plans to increase our market share or profitability by fractions of percentage points.
The decisions I make before my personal chef serves me lunch will affect the accumulated wealth of a score of hedge funds, several national wealth funds, some ivy league endowment funds, and more than a dozen foreign billionaires. Believe me, it's getting harder all the time to wring another billion or two out of those tens of thousands of spoiled, lazy, selfish workers out there in my stores who kick and scream every time they're asked to work even harder or accept benefits cuts for the sake of the team. It's this crazy worthless socialism that's ruining us I tell you.
