A federal judge has ruled 114,000 homeless students in New York City are to have their day in court. Business Insider reports a judge has allowed a class-action lawsuit to advance to expedite the roll-out of WiFi to homeless shelters across the city. The suit was filed when homeless students were unable to access the internet in homeless shelters during periods of remote learning this year. Business Insider reports the city provided students with iPads with unlimited cellular data, but many have had trouble getting proper cell service. US District Judge Alison Nathan wrote in her opinion that homeless students are deprived of their right to education without internet connectivity.

The coronavirus pandemic has made a fundamental change in the way Americans take vacations--at least for the time being. According to Business Insider, vacationers nervous about flying are taking to the road and are staying closer to home. The usual distance is about 100 miles away. They're also booking the same place multiple times, travelling just so they can work remotely from somewhere else as a change of pace. Roadtrippers are having a significant impact on the economy. There's been an uptick in retail sales for auto parts and sporting goods. Also, older millennials and Gen Xers entering the market for the first time, rather than retirees, are making up the bulk of the unprecedented demand for RVs.
