Like I get prices are higher. I cook, I bake, I use coupons, I KNOW. But this number…I mean I guess people have much bigger and fancier gatherings than I am aware of…
The Trump sticker shock at Thanksgiving this year is real. Everything—from turkey to airline fares—has become more expensive.
This is set to be the most expensive Thanksgiving in history, costing the average American $1,000.

Fuck. I worked for another CA public library system and I cannot tell you how popular laptops and hotspots were - and our programs were largely externally funded. Esp for folks who had no access to the internet or only had 1 family smart phone. These devices were literal lifesavers.
LA County Library is shutting down its laptop loaning program on Dec. 30 after the Federal Communications Commission cut off assistance for programs meant to improve digital access.
You won’t be able to check out a free laptop from LA County Library after next month. Here’s why
The FCC voted to end e-rate discounts for digital lending programs forcing LA County Library to end its loan service.
