(ThyBlackMan.com) The Trump administration is not eliminating workplace discrimination. It is eliminating the receipts. On July 23, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) proposed abolishing the EEO-1 report and five related workforce reports. For nearly sixty years, EEO-1 has required large private employers to report the race, ethnicity and sex of their employees across major occupational categories. The information helps us see who gets hired, who advances, who remains clustered […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) The rapid proliferation of artificial intelligence and supercomputing technologies has many Americans worried about the future of their careers.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Democrat career politician Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island — who is now serving his 19th year in the U.S. Senate — has introduced a bill that would impose an 18-year term limit.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Nearly half of American homeowners — 47%, according to a December 2025 Rocket Mortgage survey of 1,018 homeowners — said they would finance a $20,000 renovation rather than pay from personal savings. That number deserves a second look, because “financing a renovation” is not a single financial decision. It is a branching path where the product you choose, the rate you receive, and the term you accept determine whether […]
