Experts: NYC Could Go Bankrupt for First Time in 40 Years

Financial experts predict that there are already signs the city is headed for financial disaster, as many individuals and businesses are leaving the city for lower tax areas and city government spending is at an all-time high.

The last time the city came close to filing for bankruptcy was in 1975 when former President Gerald Ford refused to give the city a bailout package to settle its debt.

The city’s budget deficit has reached an all-time high over the past year. New York City’s long-term liabilities— including pensions, bonded debt, and retirement benefits for city government employees— reached a record-high $257.3 billion, according to an October 2018 Citizens Budget Commission

GOP Sen. Kennedy: ‘Huckster’ McCabe Is ‘Lucky He Wasn’t Prosecuted’

“Face the Nation,” Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) said former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe is lucky he was only fired and not prosecuted for improperly leaking information to a reporter and then lying about it.

Partial transcript as follows:

KENNEDY: Well, let me- let me say it again. There were and perhaps still are some people at the FBI, one of whom was Mr. McCabe, who helped politicize the agency. Whe- when an FBI agent knocks at your door, you shouldn’t have to worry about whether you’re a Democrat or a Republican and whether that makes a difference. And- and Mr. McCabe has helped politicize that agency and- and that’s wrong. He- he really– he should be ashamed and he should hide his head in- in a bag. And we- we have got to–

MARGARET BRENNAN: What do you mean politicize?

KENNEDY: –clean house over there.

BRENNAN: Clean house? What do you mean by that?

The rise of 'GiantTech' poses a giant test for regulators

OpEd Piece from The Hill

FinTech companies are using or planning to use advanced technologies to offer financial services. These technologies encompass:

fifth generation (5G) networks that operate at 1000 times the speed of current networks;

networked computers that operate at ever-accelerating speeds and lowered costs;

artificially intelligent (AI) programs that mimic human thought;

cloud computing that can store unlimited amounts of data;

distributed networks and distributed ledgers (collectively referred to as blockchains) that offer secure communication and trusted recordkeeping; and

globally interconnected networks that promise to make everything available in real-time.

Facebook's plan to integrate WhatsApp, Instagram messaging raises privacy concerns, fears of monopoly

"It's a judo move," Soltani told ABC News. "Taking your enemies' force toward you, redirecting for your advantage. By using privacy and security as a cover, it counter-veils the antitrust issues raised. Once users start using it and see how easy it is to text your mom from Instagram, it will dispel any public backlash [if authorities try to impose bans]."

Facebook is currently facing 10 open investigations in Europe for violating the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) rules, which went into place last May, including one restricting WhatsApp from sharing data with Facebook, a European Union official confirmed to ABC News.

How Facebook stands to profit from its 'privacy' push

Facebook's deeper motivations: To expand lucrative new commercial services, continue monopolizing the attention of users, develop new data sources to track people and frustrate regulators who might be eyeing a breakup of the social-media behemoth.
