And, you know, I have seen folks, I've talked to folks who have said, you know, the tax on overtime, maybe it'll help, maybe it won't help.

It really depends on whether you work in an industry where you're declaring that overtime and declaring those tips.

Jamila is one of those people who's lived in Chicago all her life, and she's really concerned about what she's seeing.

Chicago is not a fan of Trump, and Trump is not a fan of Chicago.

And it is creating this very challenging situation where child care providers like her feel like they're really being targeted.

And she specifically said that she feels like the president is very...

very specifically targeting black and brown Americans and not targeting fraud or waste or abuse that's committed by white Americans.

Jamila feels like the president's budget really prioritizes tax breaks for billionaires, really prioritizes creating fearful environments for immigrants in this country.

And it's something that she says she sees on the faces of the parents she talks to every day.

It's unclear how much of it is tied specifically to the president's policies.

The price of beef has been high for quite a long time.

But what's interesting is that Americans continue to pay it.

They haven't really cut back on their beef consumption in the way that you might expect.

But Hal, you know, he had a banner year.

When I talked to him, he was sitting in his brand new pickup.

He paid cash for his pickup.

Now, to be fair, he had his old one for 17 years, but this last year was the best year he's had in a real long time.

And he felt like President Trump has really laid the groundwork for that success.

You know, he said inputs for things like prices for fertilizer and diesel, like those are higher than they had been in years past.

But but overall, he felt like the president was really creating an environment in which businesses like his could succeed.
