I can't wait for everything around me to get more expensive!
Tariffs are squeezing small businesses here in the Hudson Valley, and by extension their customers, as we start to see higher prices that can be attributed to the added costs of importing raw supplies and finished products from nearly 70 countries that trade with the U.S.
Tariffs Start to Hit Local Retailers
Some say customers are spending less

In the Future All Food Will Be Cooked in a Microwave, and if You Can’t Deal With That Then You Need to Get Out of the Kitchen
As a restaurant owner - I'm astounded at the rate of progress since microwaves were released a few short years ago. Today's microwave can cook a frozen burrito. Tomorrow's microwave will be able to cook an entire Thanksgiving Dinner. Ten years from now a microwave may even be able to run the country. Recently I was watching a livestream of a local microwave salesman.

Seems like the $1k baby fund will also be a constant and reliable buyer of US stocks until 2028. Numbers must always go up?
