A new study by cruxanalytics.com analyzed Google Trends data across all 50 states, comparing searches between January and March 2024 to June and August 2025. Searches for “business loan” grew by 23% across the country, while “cash flow” searches grew 28%. And “going out of business” searches increased by 7% over the same time period, according to the report.

Choose Wisely

According to Bloomberg economics, Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour, and “Barbenheimer” are expected to add ~$8.5B of growth to the US GDP in Q3.

But honestly, which would you rather have, two free tickets to Taylor Swift & Beyoncé OR two free NVIDIA H100 GPUs?
