**Is the Fed’s Rate Cut Enough to Keep the Economy Afloat?**
The Federal Reserve has slashed interest rates by 25 basis points in an effort to stimulate the slowing economy. While this move aims to encourage borrowing and investment, some experts question whether it will be sufficient to counteract the current economic challenges. Concerns over inflation and potential policy changes under the new Congress add to the uncertainty.
Sectors such as banking, construction, real estate, and manufacturing may see immediate benefits from lower borrowing costs. However, the long-term effectiveness of this rate cut remains uncertain, especially if fiscal policies lead to increased inflationary pressures. The interplay between monetary policy and legislative actions will be crucial in determining the economy's trajectory in the coming months.

**Election Results Have Women Stocking Up on Emergency Contraceptives Like It’s Black Friday**
In the wake of the recent election results, many women are rushing to purchase emergency contraceptives, fearing potential restrictions under the new administration. Telehealth services have reported a significant spike in demand, with some experiencing a 1,000% increase in sales of emergency contraception. This surge mirrors the response seen after the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Experts advise that while it's prudent to be prepared, consumers should be aware of the shelf life of these products, typically around four years. The political climate continues to influence personal health decisions, highlighting the ongoing debate over reproductive rights and access to healthcare services.
