I am filling out a form for a background check for a new job and the form is asking for my social insurance number. It says it’s not mandatory to provide it but can expedite the process. Should I provide it? Why should I/should I not provide it?

If not mandatory, no. The fewer people in this world have your personal information the better.

If you are doing a credit check providing it will speed up the process. If there is no credit check, then it is not necessary to provide.

I meant if the company was doing a credit check as part of the background check, which is standard for financial firms.

Huge btc short position in market right now, I expect a lot of liquidity issues to come to light soon. Bitcoin should end up below 30k and stay there as new resistance soon.

Do you honestly believe the 10-40% defi interest rates were risk free. It’s all paid by stablecoin printing backed by the assumption that crypto prices would keep appreciating

Making a lot of money relative to the average but feeling poor? Median after-tax income was ~$55,000 in 1981 and was ~$73,000 in 2020. Using a Bank of Canada inflation calculator $55,000 in 1981 is equivalent to ~$165,000 today, which would put someone in the top 10% of earners today. But in 1981 the median family had that extra money. Who can I blame?
