Child care cost as much as rent for many families at inflation’s peak, new data shows

According to recent Department of Labor data, many families have been essentially paying a second rent check to send their children to day care. Although it is well known that child care prices have severely strained households nationwide, the federal data demonstrates how sharply these costs increased from county to county during the greatest inflation in four decades. In 2022, the most recent year for which data is available, families' average spending for full-day care for each child ranged from $6,552 to as high as $15,600. According to the organization, the maximum level is several hundred dollars higher than the typical yearly rent for that year. Although incomes vary greatly across the nation, households generally spend between 9% and 16% of their yearly income on day care for each ...

Thanksgiving dinner is historically affordable this year

Thanksgiving dinner is more reasonably priced than it has been in years, even though you might not notice it by looking at the sticker pricing in the grocery aisles. According to a statewide poll of supermarket prices conducted by the American Farm Bureau Federation, which represents millions of U.S. farmers, the expected cost of this year's holiday feast is $58.08 for a 10-person gathering, or $5.81 per head. This is the lowest amount since 2021 and a 5% decrease from last year. However, when inflation is taken into account, the situation gets much better. With the exception of the 2020 outlier, the authors stated that this would be the least expensive Thanksgiving meal in the 39-year history of the AFBF Thanksgiving survey if your dollar had the same total purchasing power as a customer ...

Chess’ next move: The future looms over the game’s world championship, once again missing its biggest star

A teenage sensation from India will face a taciturn assassin from China in one of the largest sports events in the world, but the greatest of all time from Norway will not be present. This week marks the beginning of the 2024 World Chess Championship, which will pit the current champion Ding Liren of China against 18-year-old Gukesh Dommaraju of India. Even while it is still regarded as the game's main event, Magnus Carlsen of Norway, the five-time champion who chose not to defend his title in 2022, is conspicuously absent. Grandmaster David Howell, Carlsen's close friend and one of the official match commentators in Singapore, said this year's world championship is remarkable but still has a special place in the chess world. According to Howell, it has long been the only element that dist...

How the Trump administration and congressional Republicans may crack down on pro-Palestinian protesters

As Donald Trump returns to the White House, congressional Republicans and former Trump appointees have been preparing their response to the movement against Israel's war in Gaza for the past year. They warn that protest organizers, activists, and those who assist them in raising funds may be subject to a barrage of federal investigations and potential indictments. A glimpse of the federal statutes that a second Trump administration would employ when conducting investigations and possible prosecutions is given by an NBC News analysis of congressional hearings and letters as well as lawsuits brought by groups headed by former Trump officials. Several legal actions are most likely to be taken after Trump comes to Washington, based on what has been pushed thus far. One would be deporting inter...

Choir formed from the ashes of the Notre-Dame cathedral helps mark reopening

Paris Some are wearing hard work boots, most are wearing jeans, and one is singing while carrying a white construction helmet under his arm. They are gathered in the church hall in front of the altar, and their music starts out softly before sweeping through the Gothic-style church and up to the high stone ceiling. Though the team of architects, stonemasons, archaeologists, art historians, art conservators, and others have assisted in rebuilding Paris Notre-Dame cathedral after a fire destroyed the famous French Gothic masterpiece over five years ago, the 80-member choir has joined together for more than just singing. "It felt natural to start a choir with hundreds of people working to rebuild a structure so closely tied to French art, history, and culture," said Stephanie Duchne, a chem...

Will Trump’s former defense lawyer protect the Justice Department from Trump?

Washington Many Justice Department career lawyers were relieved when Matt Gaetz abruptly withdrew as President-elect Donald Trump's choice for attorney general on Thursday. However, a few hours later, Trump nominated former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, a staunch supporter of the former president who supported his false claims regarding the 2020 election and claimed that awful individuals in the department were attempting to gain notoriety by attacking Donald Trump and using our legal system as a weapon. It is now hoped that Todd Blanche, the president-elect's defense attorney and Trump's choice for the crucial No. 2 job at the Justice Department, will help shield the department's career civil servants from Trump's fury. His prior experience as a career federal prosecutor in the So...
