Before he became <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43562104/bill-gates-was-the-richest-man-in-the-world-for-a-record-18-years-he-says-money-brings-freedom-but-beyond-that-its-the-same-hamburger">one of the wealthiest people</a> on the planet with Microsoft Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Bill Gates was just another Harvard undergrad, albeit one whose intelligence made a long-lasting impression on his professors.
One of them, Christos Papadimitriou, recalled thinking Gates was the smartest person he had ever encountered. But when Gates ditched academia to pursue business, Papadimitriou had just one reaction: &#8216;what a waste&#8217;.
What Happened: In the 1970s, Gates co-authored a paper on a mathematical problem called "pancake sorting" with Papadimitriou.
His unique solution slashed the number of necessary operations drastically and held the world record for decades.
But just two years later, when Papadimitriou called Gates to share the news that their paper had been accepted for publication in a prestigious journal, Gates had already changed course, relocating to New Mexico to concentrate on his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44627872/as-microsoft-turns-50-bill-gates-shares-the-original-code-that-started-it-all-that-was-the-revolution">software company</a>.
Speaking about the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/a-story-about-bill-gatess-intelligence-2015-11?utm_source=reddit.com">episode</a> at the ACM Awards several years later, Papadimitriou said:
"Two years later, I called to tell him our paper had been accepted to a fine math journal. He sounded eminently disinterested. He had moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico to run a small company writing code for microprocessors, of all things. I remember thinking: &#8220;Such a brilliant kid. What a waste.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Gates' early departure from Harvard to build Microsoft appeared like a diversion from academic glory. But it instead signalled the start of of one of the most dynamic and influential careers in the tech world.
While Papadimitriou saw Gates' re-orientation as a loss in the early days, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44548575/bill-gates-says-he-feared-microsoft-would-struggle-without-him-now-its-worth-3-trillion-and-thriving">history proved otherwise</a>.
Bill Gates may have walked away from math journals and complex theories, but not from problem-solving. His story demonstrates how intellectual ability can take many shapes and forms, and how a "waste" in one domain can transform into world-changing success in another.

The Emergency Housing Vouchers program, a crucial support system for numerous Americans, is reportedly nearing a funding crisis. This could potentially result in one of&nbsp;the largest one-time losses of&nbsp;rental assistance in U.S. history.
What Happened: The program, initiated by former President Joe Biden in 2021, is expected to exhaust its funding by the end of 2026, according to a letter from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-congress-housing-voucher-assistance-funding-cuts-26f9a716af6731e3c6445015488bab3a">seen</a> by The Associated Press.
The program, which was allocated $5 billion as part of the American Rescue Plan Act, aimed to aid individuals and families affected by homelessness, domestic violence, and human trafficking. It served a broad demographic, from children and seniors to veterans, across cities spanning San Francisco, Santa Clara, Dallas, Tallahassee and Florida.
However, the escalating cost of rent has accelerated the depletion of these funds. Last month, HUD advised groups distributing the funds to manage their programs with the expectation of no further funding.
HUD did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment. 
Sonya Acosta, policy analyst at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, told the AP News, "To have it stop would completely upend all the progress that they've made&#8230;And then you multiply that by 59,000 households.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The Emergency Housing Vouchers program&#8217;s funding crisis comes against a backdrop of ongoing housing affordability issues. In 2025, the&nbsp;Trump administration reportedly planned to cut <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/25/02/44040257/trump-administration-looking-to-slash-hud-workers-tackling-housing-crisis-could-deepen-affordability-problems">as many as 50% </a>of the jobs at HUD, potentially exacerbating affordability problems.
Despite efforts to address the housing shortage, including a proposal to construct nearly&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44376829/trump-administration-plans-to-construct-nearly-4-million-affordable-homes-on-federal-land">4 million affordable housing units </a>on federal land, the housing market has seen a disparity between sellers and buyers due to affordability concerns. This has led to an increase in inventory and potential price reductions, as reported by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44885312/for-sale-but-no-takers-the-us-housing-markets-awkward-standoff">Zillow</a>.
With the Emergency Housing Vouchers program&#8217;s funding nearing exhaustion, the housing crisis could potentially worsen, affecting thousands of Americans. The program's future now depends on Congress, which has the authority to allocate more funds through the federal budget. However, given the current Republican majority's emphasis on cutting federal spending, the likelihood of securing additional funding remains uncertain.

New parents are raising concerns that President Donald Trump&#8217;s tariffs could significantly drive up the cost of baby care products. What Happened: Sam Rutledge and his wife, who are expecting a baby in mid-July, have fast-tracked their purchases of baby gear due to the tariff announcement in early April.
The couple has bought two strollers, a car seat, a nursery glider, a crib, and a high chair, all of which are made overseas. &#8220;These are all pretty expensive under normal conditions, but when it became clear tariffs were coming we decided to buy them in case they became prohibitively expensive,&#8221; Rutledge said, according to <a href="https://fortune.com/article/new-parents-worried-trump-tariffs-will-make-having-baby-prohibitively-expensive/">a</a> report by Fortune.
The&nbsp;Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association, a&nbsp;U.S. trade group, estimates that&nbsp;90% of the core baby&nbsp;care products and their parts are made in Asia, with the majority coming from China. The tariffs, ranging&nbsp;from 10% for imports from&nbsp;most countries to 145% for&nbsp;imports from China, could significantly increase the cost for new parents.
Steven Dunn, CEO of Munchkin Inc., has halted orders from China and instituted a hiring freeze at the company&#8217;s California headquarters in response to the tariffs. Dunn expects Munchkin will run out of some products within three months. &#8220;There is no possibility of being able to pass on those tariffs&#8221; to customers in the form of price increases, he said.

Many baby brands and companies have declined to comment on the tariffs.&nbsp;The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association&nbsp;has&nbsp;asked the Trump administration for&nbsp;a tariff exemption, arguing that&nbsp;baby products are essential for&nbsp;children&#8217;s well-being.
Why It Matters: The tariffs, part of Trump&#8217;s strategy to stimulate domestic investment by companies seeking to evade import taxes, took effect in early April. The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44632479/retail-stocks-slammed-as-trumps-tariff-plan-sends-shockwaves-through-sector?">retail sector</a>&nbsp;was hit hard, with stocks under heavy selling pressure as Wall Street digested the tougher-than-anticipated tariff plan.
Former Secretary of the Treasury Lawrence H. Summers described <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44622754/tariffs-are-most-expensive-and-masochistic-could-cost-30-trillion-to-the-economy-erasing-300k-per-family-explains-former-treasury-secretary-larry-summers">the tariffs as the "most expensive and masochistic" </a>move by the U.S., which could roil the economy, erasing trillions of dollars. According to him, the stock futures fell 2-3% after Trump&#8217;s announcement, erasing about $1.5 trillion, and the market had already priced in some of the impact.
With the majority of baby care products being imported from Asia, particularly China, the tariffs could significantly increase the cost for new parents, making essential baby care items unaffordable.

Affimed Receives Nasdaq Notice Over Low Share Price, Has Until October to Regain Compliance

Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee has voiced serious concerns over President Donald Trump's recent remarks about removing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. What Happened: Trump's comments, made following <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/04/16/jerome-powell-tariffs-inflation-economy/">Powell's speech</a> at the Economic Club of Chicago, reignited a long-standing debate over the President's power to remove Federal Reserve leaders.
Goolsbee warned that such an action could severely undermine the credibility of the U.S. central bank, with far-reaching consequences for economic stability, as reported <a href="https://fortune.com/article/chicago-fed-president-austan-goolsbee-trump-terminate-jerome-powell-undermine-fed-credibility/">by</a> Fortune on Monday.
Trump has repeatedly criticized Powell for not cutting interest rates quickly enough in response to economic conditions, particularly following his controversial tariff policies.
Powell has argued that the tariff increases announced by Trump have significantly impacted inflation and economic growth, which led to his warnings.
Trump has blamed Powell for not acting swiftly enough to ease interest rates, which he believes are necessary to counter the negative economic effects of his policies.

This conflict has drawn attention. Goolsbee, echoing the concerns of many economists, cautioned that removing Powell could set a dangerous precedent that could erode trust in the Fed.
"I strongly hope that we do not move ourselves into an environment where monetary independence is questioned," Goolsbee stated, highlighting the importance of keeping the Federal Reserve free from political influence.
Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s criticism of Powell and his intention to terminate him have been a topic of concern for some time. Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44861571/donald-trump-blasts-too-late-and-wrong-fed-chair-powell-but-polymarket-traders-doubt-his-termination-will-come-fast-enough">lashed out at Powell</a> for the Federal Reserve&#8217;s reluctance to cut interest rates.
This was followed by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44883756/warren-foresees-market-turmoil-if-trump-dismisses-feds-powell-if-powell-can-be-fired-by-trump-it-will-crash-markets">Senator Elizabeth Warren&#8217;s warning</a> about a potential stock market collapse if Trump decides to fire Powell.
Investment strategists have also&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44882256/trumps-threat-to-fire-powell-could-shake-us-financial-markets">warned</a>&nbsp;that Trump&#8217;s potential attempt to dismiss Powell could rattle U.S. financial markets and undermine central bank independence. Furthermore,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44888232/trumps-top-economic-adviser-kevin-hassett-says-white-house-is-exploring-options-to-fire-fed-chair-jerome-powell-the-president-and-his-team-will-continue-to-study">White House National Economic Council chair Kevin Hassett</a>&nbsp;confirmed that the Trump administration is exploring ways to remove Powell, adding to the uncertainty.
