Going to join forces with the UAW on the picket line. President Biden, of course, notorious car guy owning a classic Corvette. Also has dug the electric F-150. Unclear if Biden will be buying any parts for his car.

Number two, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon warning about a worst case scenario for interest rates hitting 7%. Newsflash, if that actually happens, I'm never going to own a home, and maybe I won't be able to buy a new car because that would be, well, really high. And then number three, 10-year yields closing at a 16-year peak. What does that actually mean to your money and investing? Maybe more pressure on tech stocks. Maybe more pressure on markets.
