A local college student’s auto detailing business has grown from helping family and neighbors to servicing the vehicles of professional athletes across New England. While still a junior in high school, Connor Heagney searched YouTube for car detailing videos and decided to give the business a try. “It started off with friends and family,” said Connor Heagney. “And then I’d go on Facebook and the town group posts and say, hey, I’m a 17-year-old starting a new business. If you’d like to support me, it would mean a lot to me.”Heagney launched Heagney Auto Detailing with just $800. What started as a side hustle required plenty of trial and error, but as his customer base grew, so did his confidence. That confidence eventually led him to reach out to former New England Patriots player Kendrick Bourne on TikTok while Bourne was promoting his clothing brand. “I was actually his first customer,” said Heagney. “Before I made the first order, I told him, hey, I’ll buy a product of yours if I can detail your car. We made it work.

China was once the top holder of U. S. Treasuries but has been shedding its massive stockpile for years, fueling fears of de-dollarization, but official data may not fully capture Beijing’s actual portfolio. The decline began in earnest around 2021, but as recently as April 2022, China still held $1 trillion in Treasury securities. U. S. data on Friday show that’s been whittled down to just $591 billion as of August, the lowest in 18 years and down from $700 billion a year earlier.
