💰A $31 mln program in Chicago to assist low-income households will be considered by the City Council on Wednesday.

It was inevitable: A Biden inflation hurts Thanksgiving dinner
A thing that Americans won't be thankful for on this day is the higher cost of food, along with many other things, amid sharply rising inflation.
“This year’s Thanksgiving feast will wallop the wallet. Nearly every ingredient, from the turkey to the after-dinner coffee, is expected to cost more, for a host of reasons,” The New York Times reported.
Although the Farm Bureau - a multi-billion dollar US network of for-profit insurance companies - has not yet issued its current survey of the cost of a Thanksgiving dinner, the same metric by the lobbying group, during former US President Donald Trump’s term, claimed that the price was the lowest in 10 years: at $46.90 for a gathering of 10.
