Tax cuts for the wealthy are, in theory, supposed to stimulate economic growth. So why don’t those benefits trickle down?
Why doesn’t trickle-down economics work in practice?
The very rich have 1,000 times more wealth than the poorest households, according to a new report. That wealth is not improving the livelihoods of other people in the economy.

The Chinese government said on Sunday that it would suspend export controls for a year on five critical minerals for manufacturing. The changes would make it easier for U.S. firms to obtain key minerals, delivering on what the White House said the two countries had agreed to at a summit last month.

Wise words from an analyst here, on chocolate, "People are not buying it all the time, but when they want it, they want it.”
