SKYHIGH PRICES: Thanksgiving dinner cooked by inflation

Published

on

Experts say it could be the most expensive Thanksgiving in history

As inflation rages on— experts say Thanksgiving 2022 could be the most expensive in American history.

This year, a feast for 10 people could be 20% more expensive than last year thanks to red-hot inflation.

According to a Farm Bureau survey, the price tag for a Thanksgiving meal itself cost $53.31 in 2021 but has jumped to $64.05 in 2022.

Shoppers in the U.S. say they’re really feeling the squeeze as costs keep going up but, President Joe Biden is still insisting there’s no need to panic.

“As we head into the holidays, this week we saw growth in prices in the business and in goods and services to come down as well, gas prices are down,” he said.

“But it’s going to take time to get inflation back to normal levels as we keep our job market strong so we can see setbacks along the way—I don’t doubt that but thus far we’re in good shape.”

However, families across the nation are paying significantly more this year for their holiday dinners.

When compared to last year, a sixteen-pound turkey costs $28.96 which is up 21%; a 14-ounce bag of stuffing mix is going for $3.88 which is up 69%; and two frozen pie crusts cost $3.68 which is up 26%.

SpaceX plans a $25 billion IPO in 2026, potentially valuing the company at over $1 trillion.


Elon Musk’s SpaceX is preparing to raise over $25 billion through an initial public offering in 2026. The move could value the space exploration company at over $1 trillion, fueled by its Starlink internet network and Starship rocket programme.

The IPO discussions are underway with major banks, targeting a launch around June or July. This comes as the IPO market experiences a revival after a three-year slowdown, attracting attention from both institutional and retail investors.

SpaceX is currently the second most-valuable private startup after OpenAI. While investors are excited, some remain cautious about Musk’s ability to manage multiple high-profile companies simultaneously.

Trump admin proposes tourists disclose social media profiles for security under visa waiver program, impacting 42 countries.


The Trump administration has proposed new rules requiring tourists visiting the United States under the visa waiver program to disclose their social media profiles. This applies to citizens from countries including Australia, the UK, and France, who would need to provide five years of social media history.

The requirement specifically targets travelers using the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA), which covers 42 countries. US Customs and Border Protection says the move is necessary to enhance national security.

Public comments on the proposal will be open for 60 days, and full implementation could take several months. It’s still unclear whether private messages would be included or if only public profiles are required.
