📈

Economic Pressures

Rising prices, inflation, and tariffs are driving up the cost of everyday goods and services, putting added strain on households and businesses alike.

🏛️

Corporate and Government Trust

People are losing confidence in large corporations and government mandates, while media coverage often feels politicized and out of touch with real-world struggles.

🔗

Global Dependence

Ongoing tensions with China highlight how reliant the U.S. has become on overseas supply chains, creating vulnerability and contributing to job losses at home.

🌍

Sustainability and the Environment

Policy shifts carry environmental consequences that impact how products are made, distributed, and used, raising concerns for long-term sustainability.

🚨

Everyday Safety

From the home to the workplace, consumers and workers alike worry about safety risks tied to rapid changes in regulations and industry practices.

Think AC costs are high now? Installation and repair are about to soar

The EPA modified the AIM Act giving exclusive rights to patented, toxic flammable refrigerants with forever chemicals to be used in new air conditioning systems for homes and businesses as of January 2025.

  • The new refrigerants only work in new 2025 AC units (not existing)
  • Most of the new refrigerants are made in China, yet cost more (Why?)
