## Resource

Tariffs are back—and they’re coming for more than just your wallet. In this episode, we unpack how trade restrictions could drive up prices on everything from burgers to hospital beds. Insurance? That’s going up too. We’re talking short-term inflation, long-term uncertainty, and a policy move that might not even hit its target.
