Top Insights of the Week
1. 💰 America Is About to Pay a Hefty Price
Remember that feeling when your credit card bill shows up and it’s way more than you thought? Now imagine that—but for $11T…
The U.S. has to refinance $3T this summer. $11T over the next year. All that cheap money we borrowed in 2020-2021 when rates were basically zero. Now rates have doubled.
We're looking at hundreds of billions more in interest payments. Just to keep the lights on.
Trump wants the Fed to cut rates by 2.5%. Says it'll save tens of billions. He's also thinking about locking in long-term rates instead of rolling the dice every year.
The 10-year yield is dropping—from 4.6% in March to 4.2% today. Wall Street smells rate cuts coming. But if rates stay high, interest payments become our biggest expense...
Bigger than defense. Bigger than Social Security. That's money not going to roads, schools, or anything useful. It's going straight to bondholders.
This isn't just math. It's trust… When you keep borrowing like there's no tomorrow, people start asking: Can this last? What happens when it can't? Nobody knows. But we're about to find out.
2. 🌿 Green Energy Handouts Are Over
U.S. is cutting the cord on green energy handouts…
No more $7,500 off your Tesla. No more tax breaks for solar and wind. Starting this fall, those perks are gone. Buried in the One Big Beautiful Bill.
For years, we threw money at renewables. Solar panels everywhere. Wind turbines spinning. EVs got cheaper. The government footed the bill.
Now lawmakers say we don't need to anymore. We've got enough power from gas, coal, and nuclear. Time to let the market handle it.
Meanwhile, China rapidly expands its electrical grid while the U.S. remains stuck in debates and decade-long permitting delays…
Energy isn't optional anymore. It's survival. AI needs it. Manufacturing needs it. Data centers need it. No power, no progress.
Some think this slows us down. Others think it'll force the market to step up…
Nuclear's getting attention—fewer regulations, talk of faster reactors. But they still take 8-10 years to build. Solar's faster (24 months) but could lose steam without subsidies.
The real problem isn't making power. It's getting it where we need it, when we need it.
With no more government safety net. Private companies, local governments, and investors have to make it work on their own. But with demand this high, that might not be as big an issue as we’re lead to believe.
3. 🤔 Biotech's Uber Moment Has Arrived
Uber figured out how to disrupt city regulations. Now the U.S. government is asking biotech founders how they’d rewrite theirs…
On July 1st, the National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology launched a survey. Sounds boring, but it could rewrite biotech rules. They want "simpler, faster, science-based" approvals for healthcare, defense, and agriculture. Translation: Make it easier to bring good ideas to market without killing safety. This isn't about cutting corners. It's about cutting clutter.
The surveys were sent to a wide range of stakeholders in the US biotech ecosystem. This includes…
Biotech companies (from startups to major industry players)
Academic researchers and university labs
Industry alliances and trade groups
Policy experts and think tanks
Government agencies (especially those tied to defense, health, and agriculture)
Workforce development programs and technical training organizations
Can the U.S. update its systems as fast as it updates its science? We've got a few days to find out. Survey closes on July 16th…
If this works, Government could clear the path instead of building walls… New drugs approved in months, not years. Farmers get better crops faster. Military gets bio-materials quicker. And small players—not just Big Pharma—finally get a shot.
Top 3 Charts of the Week
1. 🐕 Datadog Is Now in the S&P 500. These Big Stocks Still Aren't.
Datadog just got into the S&P 500. Its stock jumped 15% on the news. It’s replacing Juniper Networks in the index.
Getting into the S&P 500 matters — big funds buy your stock automatically. Datadog now meets all the size, profit, and liquidity rules, with a $53.6B market cap.
Wall Street thinks Datadog has legs — Bank of America picked it as their top software stock for late 2025, betting on 20%+ growth thanks to AI demand.
2. 🤓 How the U.S. Economy Did in the First Half of 2025, in 6 Simple Charts
U.S. economy added 147,000 jobs in June, unemployment dropped to 4.1%, and the stock market hit a record high—despite fears from surveys, wars, and workforce cuts.
The real economy is stronger than it feels. People keep spending, businesses keep hiring, and investors keep buying, even when the headlines sound bad.
3. 🍺 Fewer Teens Are Reaching for a Drink
Teens are drinking less—only 42% of 17- to 18-year-olds had alcohol in the past year, according to a University of Michigan survey.
But once Gen Z hits 21, most start drinking again. In 2025, 73% of legal-age Gen Z drank alcohol—up from 66% in 2023.
Gen Z isn’t fully sober—they're just slower to start, choosier with what they drink, and more focused on image than rebellion.
