And down the road, on a broad scale, they could change global trade patterns, industry, domestic and abroad, labor markets, election outcomes, and so much more. And that's just at a high level. At a household level, it could change your home buying or vacation plans this year. the work you're doing in five years from now, or what your children decide to be when they grow up.

Oh, seriously, Elizabeth. I think if you're someone who watches the headlines, whether for work or just because you want to stay informed, it can be very overwhelming. And I think many of us hold the sentiment that at least some of the policy changes or communications surrounding them would be laughable if they weren't so serious.
