Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have both talked about the importance of making childcare more affordable. Below are three elements of the childcare equation and what the Harris and the Trump camps have either proposed or already done. Child tax creditsTrump and Harris have both proposed expanding the child tax credit, which currently provides up to $2,000 per child. Harris' child tax credit policy would restore the enhanced pandemic-era credit, giving parents up to $3,600 annually per child, with the amount dependent on a child's age and family income. The US's pandemic-era child tax credit expired at the end of 2021 because Republicans in Congress opposed it.

A way to get around this is to split the overall estate balance equally instead of divvying up individual assets, Snow recommended. You can also liquidate the business, which will convert business assets into cash quickly. AdvertisementSimilar to a family business, these assets might hold a lot of sentimental value but might not be easily passed down. Donating collections can be an effective way to circumvent capital gains and estate taxes. Confront potential disagreements over assets like a house early on, and make sure to provide details on complex assets like a family business.

I worked at an edtech company and was put on a performance improvement plan after making mistakes. I survived the PIP, and now I feel like I'm a better employee. I sat there on Google Meet as my supervisor explained the parameters of a performance improvement plan (PIP). Either way, the PIP said this: Improve by doing X, Y, and Z within the next 60 days, or you are gone. AdvertisementWhile nothing felt changed in my day-to-day beyond the release from all the extra tracking of my work, I had changed as an employee.

Both presidential campaigns have discussed ideas for cutting housing costs. Economists say lowering labor and building material costs is far more important to home building. Housing policy experts and economists disagree, saying lower energy costs would not significantly boost construction or make homes cheaper. Notably, under the Biden administration, the US has produced and exported more crude oil than ever before in the country's history, even as housing costs have soared. AdvertisementLabor costs and cutting red tape are also keyLabor costs are generally growing as a portion of overall construction costs, Basu said.

Greater China is a key market for Apple, with new AI features expected to roll out in April. It also rolled out its highly-anticipated Apple Intelligence software in the US in English on Monday. While consumers may be buying the newest iPhones in Greater China, they'll have to wait until April for Apple Intelligence to launch in Chinese, however. However, competition is stiff, and Apple Intelligence still needs time to prove itself. It'll take months to know for certain if AI can move the needle for Apple in Greater China.

AdvertisementRussia's retaking territory in Kursk, but efforts to drive the Ukrainian forces out of the country will likely only get more difficult. Ukrainian troops invaded the Kursk region in southwestern Russia in August, and at one point, they held roughly 500 square miles of Russian territory. Russia's response to the shock assault was slow, but a larger effort to drive the Ukrainians out is now underway. Michael Bohnert, a warfare expert at RAND Corporation, told BI Ukraine doesn't have to defend Russian cities. Russia's military is larger than Ukraine's, which means that the more resources Russia uses, the harder it will be to defend.
