Summary

Episode 586: Neal and Toby dive into Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ that looks to extend a 2017 tax cut policy alongside other economic policies that may or may not increase the US deficit. Then, Netflix just saved ‘Sesame Street’ as the legendary show will now be available on the most popular streaming platform. Also, small college towns that rely on a bustling campus are beginning to become ghost towns as enrollments are shrinking. Meanwhile, Toby examines the trend of cremation – a much more affordable option for families, but also hurting the bottom lines for funeral homes.
