Buy a book.
Any book, it doesn't matter which. The one you've been looking forward to, the one with the title that made you laugh, the weighty award-winner you've been meaning to get to. Whatever.
Treat yourself. Step away from it all. In this time of gross ignorance & madness, read something.

"The action is expected to save consumers about $1,000 off the price of a new car"
So... consumers save a buck off the sticker price of a new car, but in return consumers will pay a lot more in extra fuel consumption than the $1,000 they saved at purchase. This won't save money, it'll cost more.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.
