Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" has now passed the senate.
This is a step closer for it becoming law.
The Bill makes permanent Donald Trump's tax cuts from 2017 and reduces the number of people who receive Medicare. Economists believe that it will add 4.5T$ to the US debt.
The bill now needs to go to the House of Representatives where it is expected to be approved. After that President Donald Trump can sign it into law.

While Donald Trump has made it more difficult for American companies to employ high-skilled foreign workers using the H-1B visa by imposing a $100,000 fee on the employer, China has introduced a K Visa.
China's K Visa is designed to recruit young workers from around the world who have degrees in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).

As a person who's been trying to work on businesses for years and not finding success, I'm gonna keep going.
I'm not religious but one the most interesting things I've read on this topic is titled "Invest in Many Ventures" in the book of Ecclesiastes. The 6th and final verse says:
"Sow your seed in the morning,
and at evening let your hands not be idle,
for you do not know which will succeed,
whether this or that,
or whether both will do equally well."
So if one thing doesn't work, try something else. Also be open to investing in different projects at the same time because you don't know what will succeed.

The US Federal Reserve has cut its key interest rate to a target range of 3.50% to 3.75%, a reduction of a quarter percentage point (25 basis points). This decision was announced on December 10, 2025, and marks the third rate cut of 2025.
Current Target Range: 3.50% - 3.75%.
Previous Rate: 3.75% - 4.00%.
The cut comes amid signs of a cooling labour market, including stalled job growth and higher unemployment, which prompted policymakers to provide an economic boost.
