Pronatalist or trying for a second, growing families should grab this stroller deal now

Nothing shows support for the bid for bigger families like a double stroller.
Far too often, expensive, bulky, and always-in-the-way, a two-seated carriage is not just a vessel for the two-under-two crew. It's also a status symbol, and potentially, a signal of procreation. For some pronatalists or parents planning for a second, the double stroller is considered an essential.
In the current climate, this could be the final chance for growing families to grab a double stroller deal that doesn't drain their 401 Ks. Take this model by Delta Children, for example. Sleek, safe, and under $100, the Jeep Scout is currently at its lowest price in 30 days. Shoppers seem to be stocking up, with hundreds of Amazon sales in this last month alone. But, the chances of that deal sticking around are slim.

It's true, raising a child is not cheap. But, for many, it feels like it's getting more expensive. With the new tariffs on China, manufacturing experts have predicted that strollers, car seats, and other baby essentials could become more expensive and harder to find. Roughly 90% of baby paraphernalia is made in Asia, and the majority in China, per the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association.
Hoping to beat the upcharge, parents are gearing up, urgently buying in bulk, and hunting for the best deals to snag before the surge pricing kicks in and inventory starts dipping.
Fortunately, relief could be near. Earlier this week, the President endorsed $5,000 baby bonuses for new mothers, telling Post reporters that the cash incentive sounded like a 'good idea.'
The President's pronatalist ally, Elon Musk, has also chimed in on the subject of faltering fertility. Musk, a father of fourteen with four women, has stirred controversy over his social media posts on the topic.
'Low birth rates will end civilization,' the tech billionaire warned on X last Tuesday, responding to a post that showed data from the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics on decreasing birth rates.
Wherever you stand, whether you're aiming to push a baby-making policy or just hoping to survive in this economy, now could be the time to double up on your stroller and double down on savings.

Politics aside, the Jeep Scout is much than a stroller, it's a statement. Flaunting sixteen wheels for extraordinary balance and swift turning, two UV canopies, generous cup-holders, and more storage than my first New York City studio, it's a practical investment for any parents-of-two. Still slim enough to maneuver tight sidewalks, but spacious enough for two to sit comfortably. You may be tempted to have another baby just to buy one.

Amazon's bleak job update exposes major AI warning for Aussie workers: 'Will reduce'
Thousands of office workers at Amazon and Microsoft could soon be without a job as the two companies invest more heavily in artificial intelligence and outsourcing. Major warnings have been issued in recent months about how AI could create high levels of unemployment in Australia and around the world. Amazon chief executive Andy Jassy wrote a memo to staff that cautioned this tech takeover would likely hit its workforce in the coming years. But he suggested that some who lose their jobs could find new roles in other sectors. 'As we roll out more generative AI and agents, it should change the way our work is done. We will need fewer people doing some of the jobs that are being done today, and more people doing other types of jobs,' he said. AI warning following 'extraordinary' prediction of job wipe out Centrelink age pension changes coming into effect from July 1 $1,000 ATO school fees tax deduction that Aussies don't realise they can claim 'It's hard to know exactly where this nets out over time, but in the next few years, we expect that this will reduce our total corporate workforce as we get efficiency gains from using AI extensively across the company.' Meanwhile, Bloomberg is reporting Microsoft is gearing up for another round of 'thousands' of job cuts after getting rid of 6,000 roles just last month. During that blitz, the tech company slashed the product and engineering departments; however, this potential new round of cuts could focus more on the sales teams. Microsoft warned back in April that it was looking to use third-party firms to take on software sales rather than do things of Australian companies have started throwing big sums of cash into AI to help improve their products, backend operations, and customer services. But Telstra recently admitted roles would likely be cut in the future due to this new focus. 'Our workforce will look different in 2030 as we develop new capabilities, find new ways to leverage technology, including AI, and we have to stay focused on becoming more efficient,' Vicki Brady said. 'We don't know precisely what our workforce will look like in 2030, but it will be smaller than it is today.' The head of AI leader Anthropic, Dario Amodei, suggested half of all entry-level white-collar jobs could get the flick in the US by 2030. Meanwhile, the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) said late last year that one in three workers were at risk from AI. Australia's productivity commissioner Danielle Wood isn't convinced the AI bloodbath will be that bad. Still, she didn't deny the workforce matrix we're familiar with now will inevitably go through some big changes. 'Am I going to sit here and say, 'No jobs are going to go?' No, clearly not. There will be some impacts," she told the ABC. She hoped AI would allow people to have more time for "the uniquely human parts of jobs". The Prime Minister has announced a huge summit in August a bid to fix the country's lagging productivity. The government believes AI could be a game-changer in this realm and is keen to explore ways the technology can be deployed across multiple sectors. While the ACTU is on board with AI in certain scenarios, it wants assurances for workers' rights. 'To achieve good adoption of AI, Australia needs responsible regulation which both protects Australian workers and Australian industries from malicious use and theft by overseas big tech," ACTU secretary Sally McManus said. The union is pushing for workers to have the right to refuse to use AI in fields where it would be 'inappropriate or carry undue risk', like in medical decision-making. Finance Sector Union national secretary Julia Angrisano, who has been carefully watching Australia's banking industry adopt new tech, said the roundtable will be a good opportunity to set up some ground rules. 'AI is a fundamental and growing part of the finance sector, but this growth is happening in an almost entirely unregulated and uncontrolled way,' she said. 'The economic benefits and productivity gains of AI must flow on to workers, and not just improve the profits of banks and major companies.' Australian Services Union national secretary Emeline Gaske went as far as saying workers should be 'fairly compensated' for using AI. 'AI will undoubtedly reshape the way we work, but we can't lose sight of the people behind the progress,' she said. 'Workers whose knowledge, experience and judgement are used to train and refine these systems deserve to be recognised."Sign in to access your portfolio

Elon Musk's Vindication, British Version
Elite progressive conformity is a problem across the Western world, and a telling example was exposed this week in the United Kingdom. A hat tip to Elon Musk for prodding the Brits to confront the scandal of so-called grooming gangs. These are men who shower adolescents with attention and gifts before coercing them into having sex. Louise Casey, a member of the House of Lords, released an audit Monday that confirms what the public has long suspected: The gangs are disproportionately Asian, such as Pakistani—and the government has tried to obfuscate this fact.

Trump Is Giving Tesla's Robotaxis a Leg Up Ahead of June 22. Should You Buy TSLA Stock Now?
Tesla's (TSLA) ambitious robotaxi program received a regulatory boost last week as President Donald Trump's administration announced a streamlined approval processes for autonomous vehicles, potentially aiding the company's June 22 launch in Austin, Texas. The timing couldn't be better for CEO Elon Musk, who has been working to repair his relationship with Trump following their recent public disputes. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has revealed that it will expedite the exemption processes for vehicles without traditional controls, such as steering wheels and brake pedals. This development directly benefits Tesla's Cybercab platform, which lacks driver controls entirely. Dear Tesla Stock Fans, Mark Your Calendars for June 22 Nvidia Says Quantum Computing Is Nearing an 'Inflection Point.' Here Are the 3 Best Stocks to Buy Now to Profit. Trump Is Giving Tesla's Robotaxis a Leg Up Ahead of June 22. Should You Buy TSLA Stock Now? Stop Missing Market Moves: Get the FREE Barchart Brief – your midday dose of stock movers, trending sectors, and actionable trade ideas, delivered right to your inbox. Sign Up Now! Previously, regulatory approval for such vehicles could take years, but the new framework aims to reduce timelines to just months. Tesla shares surged over 2% on the announcement, reflecting investor optimism about faster regulatory pathways. Musk has been promising an autonomous car for several years and has failed to deliver on each occasion. He has repeatedly missed self-driving deadlines since 2016, when he predicted coast-to-coast autonomous trips would be achieved by 2017. Notably, the Austin pilot will be heavily geofenced and rely on virtual support, marking a departure from earlier promises of unsupervised self-driving in customer vehicles. The program starts modestly with just 10 vehicles in restricted Austin areas, expanding to 1,000 vehicles within months, according to Musk's projections. Tesla faces competition from Waymo, which already operates in four cities and provides over 200,000 paid rides weekly. Moreover, safety concerns persist given Tesla's involvement in numerous crashes and near-misses with existing driver assistance features. Critics argue that Tesla is prioritizing optics over thorough validation, given the compressed testing timeline compared to competitors. Tesla's robotaxi ambitions could unlock substantial value for shareholders if the launch is successful. Analysts suggest the business model, which combines ride-hailing and vehicle licensing, could generate a sizeable revenue stream. Additionally, the regulatory tailwinds from the Trump administration will provide additional support for faster deployment. Tesla's robotaxi service represents a critical inflection point for the company's valuation. TSLA stock currently trades at a forward price-earnings ratio of 175 times compared to the S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) roughly 28 times. Analysts expect Tesla's sales to increase from $98 billion in 2025 to $142 billion in 2027. Comparatively, adjusted earnings per share are forecast to grow by over 40% annually over the next two years. However, investors should carefully weigh the execution risks. Tesla's revenue grew by just 6% between 2022 and 2024. In this period, its adjusted earnings narrowed from $4.07 per share to $2.04 per share. Tesla must deliver on ambitious autonomous driving promises to justify its current premium valuation. Out of the 41 analysts covering TSLA stock, 14 recommend 'Strong Buy,' two recommend 'Moderate Buy,' 15 recommend 'Hold,' and 10 recommend 'Strong Sell.' The average target price for TSLA stock is $292, 8% below the current price. For potential investors, Tesla represents a high-risk, high-reward proposition. The regulatory environment has improved, but success depends on flawless execution of complex autonomous technology. Conservative investors might wait for concrete operational results, while growth-oriented investors may view current levels as an entry point before potential robotaxi success drives further gains.
