When it comes to helping Americans in need, there has been so much talk about stimulus checks that people have totally missed the other types of financial aid that are available. One of them is called the Emergency Broadband Benefit and because of the act, millions of Americans can receive a monthly subsidy to help pay for their Internet.
The program passed in December as part of the relief package that included the second stimulus check. It gives the Federal Communications Commission a $3.2 billion fund to distribute to Americans with low incomes and those who lost income during the pandemic. Eligible recipients will get $50 monthly internet subsidies. This week, the FCC explained how they can sign up for them.

Since that sale - a copy of an album by the artist Sting - online retailing has grown to such an extent that it is now claimed that 95 percent of the UK population has shopped online and close to one in four deciding to shop online each week.
