Welcome to Wednesday, August 3rd, melons and berries...
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi visits Taiwan, creating tension with China.
The highly anticipated visit to Taiwan is the first by a U.S. official in 25 years. The trip prompted warnings that it could lead to more aggressive military action from the China's proclaimed ownership over Taiwan. China responded sharply to the visit, repeatedly telling Pelosi to call the trip off.

Americans have a love affair with cars — in 2020, 91.5% of U.S. families had access to at least one of the 275,924,442 registered vehicles in the country.

Car ownership does not come cheap.
We look at how much it really costs to own a car and the possibilities for a more affordable future of transportation.
