01 给工作母亲一两拳试试！
1.美国的日间看护成本正在飞涨，以及对于大量职场女性来说，变成了负担。Stacey 在今天的新闻报道中写道。加之：华尔街也因为特朗普再次上任而变得非常急促，NBA Jaylen 进入了板鞋市场。
pumped 喘得上气不接下气
2.首先是她们的小孩子，然后再是那些账单。以及现在，这些账单还在增长，几乎速度和小孩生长速度一样。美国日间看护成本，以及幼儿园成本，刚刚跳水 25%，自从 2019 年来，使得很多工作的父母几乎算不了每个月的开支。
3.“成本不真实” Amber 说到，她 39 岁，去年才有一子。Amber 非常热爱她的工作，以及计划继续工作，即便小孩出生了。当她去到 Virginia 自己家附近的日间看护的时候，她开始恐慌了：他们要价都在 2.5万美元一年，还是每周看护 4 天，还不是覆盖所有工作时长。Amber 丈夫的工作非常好，是家庭最大的资本支持者。随着情侣计算数字的时候，开始逐渐变得清晰，即 Amber 也需要全天工作，因为这将给他们带来一笔财富。
As the couple ran the numbers 计算数字的时候
4.“我们是很像的，‘我们夫妇将其解释清楚’” 她回忆到。“这将花费我每个月 80% 的薪资” Amber 丈夫已经换了份工作了，然而，Amber 说到，这就是感受不太对。她问他的老板，是否她能参与兼职工作，但是她老板拒绝了。Amber 意识到她将离开她所热爱的职业，这个职业她花费了几乎20年的时间建树。“我从公司回家，只是坐在空荡的房屋里，哭着，还怀孕着，还胡思乱想着，‘没有村庄，没有村庄。我住在他们并不在意的乡下。’”
5.Amber 经历似乎非常新兴，作为这个国家的趋势：随着小孩的成本飞涨，国家帮助父母的情形越发减少。去年，百万亿美元在小孩津贴领域，就放在那里，直至家长恐慌消失（没有人干任何事）。
tapered off 逐渐减少
6.其实，1-2 券给到这些不工作的母亲，正好是惩罚。Lauren Bauer，是 Brooking 机构的经济学家，已然跟踪数据并发现，拥有 5 岁以下小孩的母亲，还在工作的母亲的比例，已经从 70% 降到 68%，在过去的 18 个月。这是好几万母亲，这些人已然失业，就在过去 1 - 1.5 年之内。“有的是这样的女人，她们想要参与工作，这些人已然不再有很多机会” Bauer 说到。
7.这一数据下降，可能有其他原因，然而，这确实显示着趋势开始逆转，即见证女性以及母亲，重回职场的人数创历史新高。Bauer 归纳了一系列原因，由于这一数据上涨：在 Covid 19 之后重新开办的学校的限制，联邦津贴已经开始入注了，就业市场开始起飞，以及雇主也开始变得更加灵活，关于工作的安排。“现在，我们正在见证所有这些事情开始扩散。”
credits a mix of factors 归纳了一系列原因
8.一项研究今年出版，来自于 LendingTree，文章发现，如果你有两个小孩要进入在日间看护所，这开销将高于任何美国城市里的租金，平均是 1.5 万每年，没个小孩。“你在责问一个年轻的家庭，要求他们支付大学学费同等的价格，来要求他们小孩在日间能受到招呼。” Bauer 说道。
9.即便那些有储蓄的，像 Amber 和她丈夫那样，这还不够。在 Amber 离职后，他试图打开一些业务，就从自己家里开始，因为她很在乎她小孩。她也开始发社交媒体，关于她的经历，以及非常惊讶，收到来自全国的数以千计的妈妈的回复。
10.“他们大多数说，他们必须离开工作，因为他们再也无法负担日间看护。” Amber 说到。其他女性告诉她，她们把小孩扔给她们也没有全信的日间看护。“这是无论贫富的所有母亲” 她说到。
11.哈佛经济学家以及诺贝尔获得者 Claudia Goldin 已然做主总结，在研究该主题十几年之后，帮助这些母亲支付日间看护费用，是政府能想到的最具影响力的事情了。“每个小孩津贴很高的国家，（津贴）级别都很高。”作为还在工作的女性的一员，她说到，“这很清晰” Goldin 引用 瑞典、法国、加拿大，这些专家见证了这样的现象，工作的母亲人数增加了，因为小孩的日间看护费已经下降，由于政府津贴。
12.Amber 说，尽管她的情绪很混杂，他真的喜欢呆在家和自己的小孩相处。她也设法建造一些活跃市场业务，在家就能干的。在提到如此多的妈妈的故事，全国范围而言，她鼓励全职母亲找方法保持工作。“这就像‘你信任别人多少，或者爱上谁。只是人变了，环境变了。’我希望女性更多准备，更多保障，只是感到更安全，不仅仅作为女性，还作为母亲”。
thriving market 活跃市场
Amber 有时候确实考虑她的生活可能看上去不太一样，如果是生活在能负担日间看护所费用的生活圈。“我们只是将所有清醒的时间，都和别人呆一块了，面对面的。这是超赞的。我爱他，爱任何一寸。他对我来说是最好的，”她说到，“但确实，如果我们将他放在日间看护所，只要能这么干，我肯定还会这么干”。

2.司法部发托拉斯署将会推行强制谷歌，出售其 Chrome 业务
3.这是高尔夫课程，你将在 2025 年赶上这潮流
03 Why Markets Are So Ebullient About Trump
1.David Bahnsen 作出富有生机的预测，关于特朗普的回白宫，这个预测也是一种心理评估：总统选举太热情，以至于才适合曼哈顿金融精英的预期，特朗普不再敢于冒险花钱。“他如此关心金融市场的原因，是这些事情代表了对特朗普的考验（validation）和认可。” Bahnsen 说到，他拥有 Bahnsen Group 管理着 65 亿美元。“他依然花费所有成年时间，觉得自己是曼哈顿的门外汉，从未获得信任或者尊重，他看来他应得的。”
Ebullient 热情洋溢
chipper 生机勃勃的
2.这听上去是一种积极思考，即在华尔街盛行，自从特朗普赢得第二次选举。银行家、投资人、执行官，以及他们的顾问都渴望放松管制，以及税收缩减，这些特朗普都承诺过。以及当更高的美国政府债券收益暗示了，一些投资人担忧更大的预算赤字，更高的通胀预期，因为特朗普发誓他会大规模驱逐以及开启巨额关税，特朗普支持者并不期待他会跟着这些话执行。他们甚至能够听到特朗普重新确认的内容，还是那种颠倒风格，假设他仍然来回摇摆，以及保持刻薄的话，他将改变他最具破坏性的计划。

01 A one-two punch for working moms
1.The cost of day care in the US is soaring, and it’s become a drag on the number of women in the workforce, Stacey Vanek Smith writes in today’s newsletter. Plus: Wall Street is so pumped for Donald Trump’s presidency, and the NBA’s Jaylen Brown gets in the sneaker game.
2.First comes the baby, then comes the bill. And right now, the bills are growing almost as fast as the babies. The cost of day care and preschool in the US has jumped more than 25% since 2019, leaving many working parents to make an impossible calculation.
3.“The costs are unreal,” says Amber Lord, 39, who gave birth to her son, Henry, last year. Lord loved her job in marketing and planned to continue working after her son was born. As she visited day cares near her home in Virginia Beach, she began to panic: They were all charging around $25,000 a year for four-days-a-week care that didn’t fully cover working hours. Lord’s husband had a good job and was the family’s biggest earner. As the couple ran the numbers, it became clear that if Lord was going to also work full time, it was going to cost a small fortune.
4.“We were like, ‘We can’t make this make sense,’” she recalls. “It was going to cost like 80% of my monthly pay.” Lord’s husband offered to take a second job, but Lord says that didn’t feel right to her. She asked her boss if she could go part time, but her boss refused. Lord realized she was going to have to leave a job she loved, in a career she’d spent almost two decades building. “I came home from work and just sat there in my empty house, crying and pregnant, thinking, ‘There’s no village. There is no village. I live in a country where they don’t care.’”
5.Lord’s experience seems to be emerging as a national trend: As child care costs have soared, federal help for parents has tapered off. Last year, tens of billions of dollars in child care subsidies put in place during the pandemic expired.
6.That one-two punch appears to be pushing some mothers out of the workforce. Lauren Bauer, an economist and fellow at the Brookings Institution, has been tracking the data and found that the share of mothers with children under 5 who are working has fallen from 70% to 68% in the past 18 months. That’s tens of thousands of mothers who’ve dropped out of the workforce in just the past year and a half. “There are women who would like to participate in the workforce, who now no longer have as much of a choice,” Bauer says.
7.There could be other causes of this decline, she says, but it does mark the reversal of a trend that had seen women and mothers coming into the workforce in record numbers. Bauer credits a mix of factors for that increase: schools reopening after Covid-19-related restrictions, federal subsidies rolling in, the job market taking off and employers becoming more flexible about work arrangements. “And right now we are seeing all of those things dissipate.”
8.A study out this year from LendingTree found that having two children in day care was significantly more expensive than rent in cities across the US, averaging almost $15,000 per year, per child. “You’re asking young families to spend a college tuition to have their child taken care of,” Bauer says.
9.Even for couples who have savings, like Lord and her husband, it often isn’t enough. After Lord left her job, she tried to build a marketing business from home as she cared for her newborn. She also began posting on social media about her experience and was shocked at the thousands of responses that poured in from mothers across the country.
10.“Most of them said they had to leave their job because they couldn’t afford day care any longer,” Lord says. Other women told her they left their children with caregivers they didn’t entirely trust. “It was moms from every economic background,” she says.
11.Harvard economist and Nobel laureate Claudia Goldin has concluded, from decades of research on the topic, that helping pay for child care is the single most impactful thing governments can do to help working women. “Every country that has highly subsidized child care has pretty high levels” of women in the workforce, she says. “That’s clear.” Goldin cites Sweden, France and Canada as countries that have seen the number of mothers in the workforce rise as child care costs have come down through government subsidies.
12.Lord says, in spite of her mixed emotions, she’s truly loved staying home with her son. She’s also managed to build a thriving marketing business from home. After hearing so many stories from mothers across the country, she encourages all stay-at-home moms to find some way to keep working. “I’m like, ‘I don’t care how much you trust someone or love someone. People change and situations change.’ I want women to be more prepared and more secure, and just feel safer, not only as women, but as mothers.”
13.Lord does sometimes think about how her life might look different in a world with more affordable child care. “We just spend every waking moment together, face-to-face. And it’s great. I love him to pieces. He’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me,” she says. “But yeah, if we could put him in day care for a little bit, I would absolutely do that.”

03 Why Markets Are So Ebullient About Trump
1.David Bahnsen has a chipper prediction about Donald Trump’s return to the White House—one that doubles as a psychological assessment: The president-elect is so keen to fit in with the Manhattan financial elite that he won’t dare jeopardize its fortunes. “The reason he cares so much about financial markets is that there’s a validation they represent to him,” says Bahnsen, whose Bahnsen Group manages $6.5 billion. “He has spent his whole adult life feeling like an outsider in Manhattan, never getting the credit or respect he felt like he deserved.”
2.That’s a taste of the positive thinking that’s thrived on Wall Street since Trump won a second term. Bankers, investors, executives and their advisers crave the deregulation and tax cuts he’s promised. And while higher US government bond yields suggest some investors are worried about bigger budget deficits and the inflation expected to result from his pledges of mass deportation and giant tariffs, the Trump optimists don’t expect him to follow through on them. They can even sound reassured by Trump’s topsy-turvy style—assuming his habit of zigzagging and reversing himself means he’ll backtrack from his most destructive plans.
More on Trump’s Return
1.Timothy D. Snyder, author of books including On Freedom, writes that Trump’s version of freedom—me against my neighbors—has led the US away from good government and created the conditions for oligarchical fascism.
2.Dueling abortion-rights ballot measures in Nebraska left voters confused, Claire Suddath writes. Abortion opponents might seize on the mess as a tactic in future votes.
3.Trump has pledged a hard-line immigration policy. Julia Love talked to employers who fear raids are on the way and want to mitigate the harm.
04 An NBA Star and Would-Be Mogul
1.Jaylen Brown and I are in the dining area of the Auerbach Center, the Boston Celtics’ 70,000-square-foot practice facility on the city’s west side. Brown spent this late September day in the media room answering reporters’ questions about the coming season—Will the Celtics repeat as NBA champions? Can he follow his best season with an even better one? Is he still angry he was left off the US Olympic basketball team?—but now we’re looking at a laptop while he finishes some brisket.
2.The browser is open to a page with a large orange ovoid and neon green text that reads “The Future of Performance.” After a click, we’re looking at a low-top basketball shoe studded with smaller ovoids against a background that looks like something out of Space Invaders. A cryptic passage concludes: “It is a quiet reminder that the greatest discoveries are not found in the world outside, but in the expanses we unlock within.” “It’s so cool,” Brown says, “but, man, I’m nervous. I wasn’t nervous before the NBA Finals, but I’m nervous now.”
3.Brown, a three-time All-Star, averaged almost 21 points per game in the Finals and won the MVP award in that series. In about an hour, however, the sneaker we’re looking at will go on presale—and as founder, chief executive officer, spokesperson, head designer, hype man and just about everything else for the company behind it, he doesn’t want to brick this moment.
4.Brown wants to rethink the way athletes do business with footwear giants, Gordy Megroz writes. Here’s what he’s done so far: Jaylen Brown Is Taking On Nike With a00 Sneakers
