State elections are becoming more nationalized in a way that they haven’t ever been before. 2026 will see the economy shift into a higher gear.Tax cuts become law.Savings accounts for babies get instituted.AI gets better and goes deeper.Interest rates will be cut at least one more time.Markets will go higherThe war in Ukraine will finally reach a negotiated conclusionAmerica will wake up and realize it can’t be America without lots of electricity generation, which means nuclear power.Innovation in medicine, finance, and other tech will start to go mainstreamMy family will welcome two new grandchildren into the world. One is due in January, and the other is scheduled for February. We are putting new helical piers in the ground to shore up our cabin foundations in Minnesota this summer. Buckle up.
