Why it matters
Policy to pocket: A cash promise always moves sentiment. Whether funded by tariffs or not, the spending power story is what markets hear first.
Execution gap: Headlines are easy. Appropriations, definitions of “high income,” and legal scope are the hard part.
Work software reset: If agents really do the admin, the stack around documents, slides, chat, and email is ripe for a rethink.
Careers hedge: Tutoring, of all things, shows how global demand for premium skills keeps creating odd but lucrative niches.
Culture keeps the pulse: Football clips and biohacking threads still drive attention and mood between heavy policy beats.
