As you all may have seen recently. the internet is kinda going a bit off the walls (get it, wall street) recently when it comes to the stock market recently. From what you may have heard, the price of the GameStop stock has increased by an insane amount in terms of cost. It just simply seems that the stock had just increased for no apparent reason at all. So, to help all of the confusion that is surrounding this topic, I will be mashing all of this stock-market-drama into an easy-to-understand one-page summary. With that out of the way, let’s get into some economics!

Before a bill becomes a law, there is an extensive series of steps it has to go through before it makes its way to the President’s desk. If you want to see the most recent bills that have been introduced, look below, as this will detail their full process. First, bills are drafted by a member of the House of Representatives or the Senate. They basically explain what the bill is going to be about in a short sentence, and a number is added to the end to differentiate it from the rest of them. Online, the website shows what stage a document is in, the date it was introduced, as well as the sponsor. Depending on how far the bill has progressed, the website may show cosponsors of a bill, too. These are individuals who pledge their support for a piece of legislation. It’s best to get as many of these as possible because if there are a greater number of people supporting it, it’s more likely to pass.

At its inception, Facebook had good intentions. It gave way to person-to-person communication where people would upload photos and share information about their lives with the world. It ensured transparency by making sure people couldn’t pretend to be someone they weren’t and it was started in 2004 by Harvard students. It was originally created for them alone, but as the word spread to students at other prestigious universities, its popularity and usage snowballed. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, there were over one billion users as of 2012.

This article is about the explosion of cases in Wisconsin, and how Wisconsin is an example of a phenomenon happening all over the US. Medical experts have told us numerous times that we can get this under control by simple behavior shifts; however, these shifts have yet to happen. In Wisconsin, pizza delivery person, Kevin Kopplin, only saw one person wearing a mask to pick up pizza in nine months. Hospitals are about to overflow, and still people travel about their communities as much as they did before COVID-19.

During this year’s election, record numbers of LGBTQ+ people ran for office, with 220 elected out of the 600 potential LGBTQ+ candidates. Among these 220 representatives, there were historic numbers of transgender and BIPOC (Black and Indigenous people of color), too. “I am hopeful that tonight’s result can send a potentially lifesaving message to a young trans kid,” said Sarah McBride, the first openly trans person elected as a state senator in Delaware. Once she’s sworn in, she’ll become the highest-ranking transgender person in the government.
