What the 'substitution effect' from tariffs could mean for US GDP
The Conference Board Chief Economist Dana Peterson joins Wealth to analyze President Trump's proposed tariff strategy and its potential economic implications. After talks with US officials, Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that the Trump administration will be delaying tariffs on Mexican imports by one month, now starting on March 1. Peterson explains that these tariffs are being used as a strategic "threat" to compel Canada, Mexico, and China to comply on critical issues like national security, drug enforcement, and immigration. However, she warns that implementing these tariffs could significantly impact GDP (gross domestic product) growth in both the United States and targeted economies. Fourth-quarter GDP revealed a shift in consumer behavior, with individuals purchasing items expected to rise in price, including cars and food products. "Certainly, the substitution effect will take place," Peterson notes, "but that could take time as consumers figure out... where they could buy US-made products." Watch the full video to hear Peterson's full perspective on how potential Chinese tariffs might reshape electronics pricing in the United States.

The SNP says it won’t cancel cats. But would it be such a bad idea?
Anyone who cohabits with a cat knows the special joys and frustrations they bring. On the one hand, an endearing furball aesthetic, coupled with an ice queen (or king) demeanour. A treat-em-mean-keep-em-keen approach to their owners belied by utter neediness. Low-maintenance, high-reward credentials that dogs can only dream of. And an impressive ability to find fulfilment beneath a warm radiator, which probably comes as close to teaching us the meaning of life as any domestic animal ever will.
