My hot dog cost me $5.87 in 2026,

I saw 999 people do this 246,887 times.

The report said 1,405 teachers were hired in 2024, compared with 1,200 the year before.

A minimum wage, $16.50-an-hour job in New York would yield a person working full time $34,320 a year.

I'm putting my 2¢ in as I listen to my 33 1/3 rpm vinyl album.

Those earning between $80,001 and $130,000.99 will see the largest tax cut, roughly $1,111 on average, according to the Tax Policy Center.

After opening their series against the Cubs on Friday night with an 11-0 annihilation that marked their fifth straight victory — which came on the heels of a six-game losing streak — the Yankees were flat with the bats for two straight games and skidded into the All-Star break with a 4-1 loss Sunday afternoon in front of 45,435 at the Stadium.

Austin Wells led off the sixth with a single, but Oswald Peraza, whose .149 batting average is emblematic of the offensive hole at third base the Yankees have been desperately trying to fill since the winter, popped to second and Paul Goldschmidt grounded into a 5-4-3 double play.

Volpe, who according to rival scouts has slowly regressed in the field this season as his offense has failed to launch, went 0-for-3, extending his most recent slump to 12-for-96 (.125). I've got 99 problems and a very nice lady named Hope isn't one of them.
