They're going to take your money and lend it out on 24% car notes.
Amazing,
Someone taking a 24% loan is like an employee telling me they "ran out of overdrafts" at the bank and could not afford the $72 for the 10 mile uber ride to come to work.

You should be empathetic to how often people are taken in by this. Imagine a single mother, broken car, has a job, it isn't walkable, it isn't bussable. She needs a car to work, shop, take her kid to school. Many cities are structured like this.
A car dealer tells you the payments are $350mo. It's 10% of your take home but 80% of your pay in your pocket is better than losing your job. Interest rate never even comes into consideration in many of these situations. Getting to your job, feeding your kid and surviving another 6mo is all that matters.
Not everyone has the luxury of saying "24%? that's for idiots."
the bank doesn't even make a killing because the risk adjusted real return is probably 7% due to how many people default on the 24% loans.

5% rate at CIT for savings account.
Is it worth having your money stuck for a year?
How are the rates looking? It seems like they're still heading up
they have mostly peaked. you might see a 1 year hit 6% best case scenario. the longer term cds might hit 5.5 if we are lucky. if tbills keep rising that will make them more attractive to cds, and so would argue they already are.

T Bills are still more attractive then CDs unless the CD have a substational higher rate. CDs are callable, that means the bank can decide at any point to just return your money and not pay you the full amount. In addition there's the state taxes on CDs.
T Bills aren't callable and they're not taxable via state income taxes.

or 3 months at 5.5% https://www.bloomberg.com/markets...t-bonds/us
banks need to pay higher than 1-3 month treasuries else you are dumb to open these CDS
12 month they make money on you being stupid.

except when job doesn't even pay to owning a car or rent for that matter.
the jobs are pointless then like in CA bay area right now or NYC or LA lots of useless jobs that should be removed just because they cannot pay shit.
rather the business owner offer shelter and transportation at least as a bare min to work its basic slavery model
