After President Donald Trump shared his disapproval of the $900 billion virus package, the Democratic challengers in the Georgia Senate runoff race are seizing the opportunity to talk poorly about their opponents.
“David Perdue, my opponent, who opposed even the first round of $1,200 checks…has obstructed direct relief for the last eight months, and now decided he wanted to cut it down to 600 bucks when people can barely feed their families through no fault of their own,” said Jon Ossoff.

Depending on your current age, 45 could be decades away or just around the corner. Either way, there are some unique goals that everyone should strive to accomplish before hitting the big four-five!
Getting rid of debt should be on everyone’s to-do list regardless of age, but it’s essential to knock it out before you start to draw near retirement age. The sooner you deal with it, the sooner you can start saving more money for your future.
Maxing out your net worth is also something that should be on your radar. It will come in handy if you aren’t able to put away enough money in a retirement account.
And most importantly, take care of your health. That is the most important goal to chase after! The healthier you are as you age, the less expensive life will be in your later years.
For a full list of goals you should be pursuing before 45, check out this link!

Apple is aiming to launch an autonomous electric car of its own design by 2024. However, a report out of Taiwan claims it could arrive much sooner. Apple has started to ramp up orders with automotive suppliers in the country ahead of a debut for the car as early as next September.
Apple has been quietly and secretly working on something in the automotive industry for several years now. Speculation ranges from a complete vehicle to the underlying technology kit needed for autonomous driving—the latter of which Apple has been testing on public roads in California.
