Have you been paying attention to the mortgage market lately? That’s one of the reasons why we’re around… to keep track of these things!

Ahh, another weekend in the Bay Area – this one with lots of open homes in my own neighborhood. Boring? I know – but, hey, spying on the improvements my neighbors make is fun. Speaking of spying, let’s talk informally for a bit about the NSA’s recently revealed spying programs… and of a compliant press [...]
It was less than a month ago when I weighed in on the need for privacy, in the wake of the IRS scandal. In light of the recent revelation of indiscriminate data collection by the NSA – on both foreigners and Americans – I’ll be visiting the topic again. However, for a change of pace, [...]
Last week, we had a trio of male-female dynamic articles about employment after the Great Recession, households with female breadwinners, and the effect of changing industry dynamics on the male-female balance in the workforce.

Possibly driving the conversation? A recently revealed Pew Poll which revealed a rather startling figure: 40% of households with children count mothers [...]
It’s actually a rather common thing to state that women are disproportionately affected by some issue – a quick Google search suggests those issues include AIDS, Climate Change, Freedom of Religion, Trade Sanctions, War, Poverty, Disease, Depression, Employment Competition, Conflict… well, and around 266,990 other things.

It’s June? Are you kidding me? Well, here’s the most interesting stuff from the week… in our not so humble opinion, of course. Links We Liked!
