The U.S. national debt has surged past $38 trillion, according to the U.S. Treasury Department, just two months after surpassing previous forecasts to reach $37 trillion in August.

Ever since AI supplanted crypto as the shiny new toy in Silicon Valley, there’s been no shortage of jokes about workers jumping ship. New data from prominent venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (commonly referred to as a16z) shows that the truth is more complicated. In its annual state of crypto report released on Wednesday, a16z found that since the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, around 1,000 workers left the crypto industry for AI startups.

Key takeaways: It’s a good time to sell your house if you price correctly and are open to negotiation.  Mortgage rates continue to fall, opening the door for some priced-out buyers to re-enter the market. There are far more home sellers than buyers, tipping the scales toward buyers – but sellers can still get competitive offers. Selling now could help you avoid potential price swings if the economy moves toward recession or inflation. If you’re thinking about selling your home, you’re not alone. But with today’s near-record housing costs keeping everyone on the sidelines, it’s natural to wonder if…

The U.S. housing market finally favors homebuyers, but few can afford it It’s a buyer’s market, meaning buyers have the upper hand. Following the pandemic-fueled seller’s market in 2021, sellers now outnumber buyers by over 500,000 – or 37% – due to two years of rising mortgage rates and home prices.  Affordability remains the sticking point for everyone, though: Most buyers can’t afford a home, which is leading to fewer sales, deterring home sellers, and slowing down an already sluggish market. You can see this in the data: Over the past six months, prices have risen while demand has dropped…
