Jason Brown, CEO of Vitamin Packs, discusses how his company can deliver improved health right to your door. Vitamin Packs is a start-up subscription service that delivers personalized vitamins to consumers once a month. Brown explains the company takes customers' personal information into account, including any and all medications. He says the general vitamin business started as snake oil but is now nearing pharmaceutical grade. Vitamin Packs raised $3.8 million in its first round of funding and just shipped its 5000th order. While a majority of first-time users still come from social media and PR posts, word of mouth is becoming crucial to Brown's business model.

The American Restroom Association, a public toilet advocacy group, was among the critics. Rules about restroom access in restaurants vary by state, city and county. The National Retail Federation says private businesses have a right to limit restroom use.

The initial investment is expected to be $100 billion and could reach five times that sum. While Trump has seized on similar announcements to show that his presidency is boosting the economy, there were already expectations of a massive buildout of data centers and electricity plants needed for the development of AI.
