Reading the April 2025 Beige Book made me think: when tariffs rise and uncertainty spreads, innovation stalls and prices climb, just like clockwork. Only five out of twelve regions in America even reported any growth, and much of the recent car buying boom wasn’t real demand—it was fear of future price hikes. Meanwhile, home sales inch up, but affordability and tight inventory crush the market. It’s a vivid reminder that when governments meddle with trade, they don’t protect consumers—they hurt them. Imagine if free enterprise and emerging tech, like we see with living intelligence and quantum breakthroughs, were left unchained instead. Wouldn’t that spark real, lasting growth? Tell me what you think.
