Economic Concerns Looming
In the realm of economics, a recent report from UCLA suggests that former President Donald Trump’s economic policies might lead us towards a potential recession. As Californians juggle concerns about their wallets, this news adds an extra layer of uncertainty that many would probably like to avoid.
