Remember, months and years after the lockdowns were over, we still had supply chain issues from the pandemic. So add it all up, besties, and spirit is a warning. Consumers are all worried about the trade war ahead. the tariffs. But businesses are just as concerned about the tail, the supply chain.

For our second story, the Fortune 500 list for 2025 dropped this week, but two numbers out of the 500 stood out to us. 24 Fortune 500 companies are run by their founders, and 55 are run by women.

It is simply a list of the biggest companies in America by revenue. Shocker! Number one is Walmart for the 13th year in a row. There's very little movement in the top 10 from year to year.

They're mostly finance companies. Naturally. And 14 states, including sadly Vermont, have zero companies on the Fortune 500. South Dakota, no offense. We still respect you.
