The Dr Boyce Breakdown

Today I speak about the things they never told you about Joe Biden and student loans. 

Today I speak about the banning of Andrew Tate.  We discuss Tate's history, views and complexity.  It makes for an interesting conversation. 

Today we analyze the dive of the stock market today and ways that it could get worse before it gets better.

I am going to talk about my stock pick of the week today during my podcast while I cover the financial implications for the NFL star who started a horrible fight at a Youth football game that led to someone being killed. 

“Witnesses claim a former NFL star started the fight that ended with a deadly shooting at a youth football game in southern Dallas County.

According to TMZ Sports, an opposing coach said that Aqib Talib ran across the field and confronted referees Saturday in Lancaster.

That coach and other witnesses said the game was called off because of the constant complaining and threats. 

When that happened, Aqib reportedly swung at Coach Mike Hickmon and the two began fighting.

Two video clips obtained by TMZ show the confrontation between the coaches. Aqib is said to be the person wearing all black with a black hat and white shoes.”

This is an important discussion of how wealth and choices are deeply connected. You can join the podcast here and also find The Dr Boyce Breakdown on Spotify. 

We start today at 11:30 am EST at TheBlackBossChannel.com.

Today, Dr Alicia and I speak about a recent Wall Street Journal article explaining that the cost of raising a child is now $300,000. 

Bed Bath and Beyond stock shot quite high this week and then suddenly collapsed.  Could this be intentional? 

This lawsuit between Swizz Beatz, Timbaland and Triller is messier than you thought. 

According to CNN, Mike Hickmon lost his life during an argument over youth football:  "The suspect in a shooting that killed a 43-year-old coach during a weekend youth football game outside Dallas turned himself in Monday, police said.  Yaqub Salik Talib, 39, the brother of former NFL star and Super Bowl winner Aqib Talib, pulled out a gun after the opposing teams’ coaching staffs had a disagreement over officiating during the game on Saturday in Lancaster, police said. Michael Hickmon, a grandfather and father of three from Lancaster, was killed.  “The altercation became physical, leading to the suspect pulling out a firearm and shooting Mr. Hickmon multiple times,” the Lancaster Police Department said in a statement. “After the shooting, the suspect fled the scene in an unidentified vehicle, taking the firearm with him.”"  #BlackMen #BlackYouth #BlackBoys

I read online today about something called "Quiet Quitting," where millions of Gen Z employees are doing the bare minimum on their jobs without officially quitting.

The Quiet Quitting trend has become quite big on Tik Tok, as young people (Gen Z represents those born in 1989 or later) have rejected the hustle culture embraced by their parents.

There are a few reasons for the Quiet Quitting phenomenon, part of which is that the pandemic blurred the lines between work and life and is leading many to reflect on whether or not it makes sense to spend more time with your boss than you spend with your own family.

I get it. I actually felt this way 29 years ago when I finished college. The thing was that I was seen as an oddball for questioning the way we work. I never thought it made more sense for a mother to be at a factory than with her child. I never felt that as a father, I'd rather be with my boss than my wife.

I'm glad that the rest of the world is getting it. I have a few thoughts on the topic that I am sharing on The Black Financial Channel, you can hear those ideas here.
