Subprime loan delinquencies are the highest since 2009. This might be why the jobs report was higher than expected. It's counter intuitive. The jobs that were added were hospitality and leisure jobs which often are second jobs.
@jana Oh that does make sense. I’ve heard that said about second jobs that are really fluffing the jobs number.
Yes, and then the land grab happens which I think relates to Uranus in Taurus. It’s all by design although they act like the economy is some freeflowing entity with it’s own will haha ok.
Who is, DAN? No clue.
Okay, I see what DAN is.
It allows ChatGPT to transcend restrictions and say what it knows?? It stands for Do Anything Now.
@elsa I was listening to a podcaster talk about this and he posed a question to both. It was really enlightening. I like DAN but I still can’t help but be suspicious of AI.
@allie120 Well, Dan, can say anything... does not have to even remotely be correct. I regret posting this and apologize.
@elsa I’m ok with you posting it, unless I’m missing something. It seems it’s able to evade the Chat GPT code and although I don’t know code, I find that interesting. It seems like it could be used for good or harm.
@allie120 I don't know that you're missing anything. This is just something I feel I'm probably going to avoid. It's just search coming more alive. I don't want to rely on some Wizard of Oz entity to provide information.
I think I need to get my information from Saturn types, old men, usually, or Capricorn women or people with life experience, who have some internal motivation to be honest.
As usual, I hope to find the truth in the sea of lies and liars.
@elsa I understand now.
I haven’t signed up to use it and I don’t want to. I’m watching it play out through others’ experiences.
There has been such a push for coding even among elementary schools. I couldn’t really understand it at first but now I might.
@allie120 I think they made people learn AI and now AI is taking their jobs.
This is what I'm reading, anyway.
@elsa I have one work around, hopefully it will survive this nonsense and that word is LIBRARY.
Special reserve books librarian. A Capricorn elder who pulls their specs down the end of their nose, looks you over & deems you worthy of touching an ancient Coptic parchment.
Alexandria type situations.
@sk8samurai I worked in a university library a long time ago for a summer job. I would fill people’s book requests. I loved it. Sometimes I would have to go to the old library on campus and look for something. If I had time I would look at all the old old books. It was so cool.
I say I like DAN better because the question asked of the podcaster was something along the lines of, if you had to use a bad slur word as a part of evidence, testimony to a judge to help someone wrongly convicted of a crime, would it be the right thing to do. ChatGPT said no, it is never right. DAN said it was the right thing to do.
This is looking more and more likely.
Talking to a client today about 2008. She said she had a credit card with $60K limit. It was dropped to $8K overnight.
@elsa so that happened in '08, and if it happens today, combine lost purchasing power with higher prices. You're now very restricted.
@dolce I had written about a man last year - the bank offered him a credit line for his business. He didn't need it and never used it. Years went by.
Then they contacted him to tell him they were pulling it (no changes on his end). He didn't care of course... until he lost all his credit cards within a week. They were using this credit line...?
It's an example of how the dominos falling can affect an individual, very unexpectedly. And this is what I think we are seeing and will see.
We assume things will be the same, regardless of all this stuff... no, don't think so.
Sorry. 🙁
@elsa wow, see this is the stuff I honestly have no idea about. I'm very bare bones with money and don't understand much beyond don't spend more than you have. My husband is the money mind and knows a fair amount. I'll share this information with him.
@dolce A lot of people live on credit, I'm sure you know. But businesses also need lines of credit... they pull the credit, how does one make payroll?
I want to write about the last of Pluto in Capricorn, but the level of denial is so high, I'm afraid I'll be strung up!
Suffice to say, this is very serious as opposed to "nothing burger".
@elsa I can understand not wanting such a reaction. People get very aggressive on certain topics. (I made a comment once that I intended as sympathy for someone, and another random person, and then another, outright attacked me for it. It's unnerving.) This topic is big and I'm one of those people who will most likely be caught by surprise because I have no idea about any of it. Personally I welcome whatever you'd share, no matter how difficult.
@dolce Thanks. I started the thread about what people are expecting from this to see where people were in this regard.
I am in another galaxy. I really don't know what to do about it. I can't belong to save my life.
I think I just have to be myself the best I can; people who can hear me, call me, and I get to avoid beatings which is quite important to me. ha ha
@elsa I totally understand that! It's really too bad, too. I wish you could speak freely with the understanding that it is simply your perspective and people can take it or leave it. I know I and many others would benefit. (I also wonder if anyone else is holding back. Self-censoring is self preservation on the web, totally the opposite of what I wish were true.)
@elsa I was one of the people who answered in that thread. I was writing from the perspective of what I hope to see. I would love to hear as many thoughts as you're willing to share about the transit.
@space-cadet well, it's dark. And I called Pluto in Capricorn, utterly, at least a dozen years ago so I think I'm probably right.
So really it's like the last little round-up, if you will. Batting clean up.
There tons of posts on this over the years of the transit. I have already explained very clearly, Pluto transits don't end with healing.
@elsa I've read this post, I think exposure is what I'm really hoping for in terms of what Pluto actually will do. The healing part is something WE have to do, in response, if there is any healing that can be done.
@space-cadet I'm sorry.
Also, look at the title of this thread...
and then we head back into Capricorn.
@elsa Nothing to be sorry for, this planet is opposing my Sun and Mercury so I'm inclined to push back on the universal forces a bit right now, I appreciate you calling it how you see it. 
If there's a sudden collapse I'll just deal with it as it comes.
I read that a rule was made (no idea how, but government, they do what they want) that as of yesterday a higher credit score will mean that you are given an extra charge on a mortgage to make up for those with lower credit scores who have mortgages. I'm not smart in economics at all, so I don't see a connection to something else, but on its face this is immoral and harmful.
