Hey everyone,
If you are reading this, that means TaPlot has unfortunately passed away.
I am his oldest son, and I want to take a minute to sincerely thank every one of you that supported him throughout this fight, you helped him keep his motivation, but you also helped me a lot. When I was feeling worried about him, I would often go to his page and read all the supportive comments, and they would give us both so much hope.
He was a great dad, he never stopped fighting, not even in his last week. I sat beside him and told him he could rest and I was proud of him, and he simply shook his head. He still wasn't giving up.
It hurts losing him, because, losing my father means I lost the only man who ever truly wanted me to be better than himself.
I will not be deleting any of his posts, everything will stay here as it was.
There's one more thing I want to leave everyone with.
When my dad died, the cancer died too. It wasn't a loss, it was a tie. He's at peace, and the cancer isn't. So if you really think about it, he won. 🕊️

FED HOLDS RATES AT 3.75%–4.00% AS TWO OFFICIALS PUSH FOR HIKE
The Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged at 3.75%–4.00%, voting 10–2 to maintain its current policy stance.
Governor Lisa Cook and Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack dissented, favoring a 25-basis-point rate increase.
The Fed described economic growth as strong, supported by robust capital investment, productivity gains and resilient consumer spending.
However, inflation remains elevated, and policymakers emphasized that additional economic data will help determine the appropriate path for interest rates.
