The FAA will now let commercial drones fly beyond the operator’s line of sight.
The move will "unleash American drone dominance," Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said.
As a result, Duffy said, " You may get a Starbucks cup of coffee from a drone."

Everyday Americans get nickel and dimed while the rich dodge taxes.
They struggle to get by while the wealth of the 1% skyrockets.
They see their voices drowned out while the well-connected avoid accountability.
There are two sets of rules in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

Illinois consumers have been nickel-and-dimed out of thousands of dollars per year by unnecessary and deceptive junk fees.
I am proud that the Illinois General Assembly has passed legislation to put money back in the pockets of families and establish fair, honest pricing.

The hidden cost of being poor is something Barbara Ehrenreich highlights in NICKEL AND DIMED—which is still worth reading, 25 years after it was published. Poverty is *expensive*.
Apparently there’s grocery inflation discourse again, but as I’ve been buying groceries for other families during this crisis, often under duress, it’s brought me out of my own optimized grocery spending habits, which rely heavily on Costco. And damn, there is a huge price to pay for being poor.

Nickel and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich is pretty amazing because 25 years ago it convincingly laid out the fact that lowering housing costs is key to keeping people out of poverty and everyone kinda ignored that takeaway
You might think The Art Thief by Michael Finkel is a Thomas Crown Affair-type romp but it ends up becoming a huge bummer (sorry @briancgrubb.bsky.social)
The Skies Belong To Us by Brendan Koerner is an enjoyable read and I want to know what happened to Cathy Kerkow. Also remarkable that airlines were just able to make people put up with skyjacking for a decade because they were cheap and could bully Congress.

Do you know this man? I do. He has 160+ million followers on TikTok. He’s apolitical; he does Vaudevillian silent comedy making fun of stupid life hacks. Far-right MAGA influencer Bo Loudon is bragging that he dimed out Khaby Lame and got him detained by ICE.
And he did. TikTok is going to go nuts.
