Could the hellish delays at airports across America finally end? This morning, Federal Aviation Administration withdrew Its emergency flight-reduction order at 40 major airports across the country eliminated limitations that had forced airlines to cut schedules during the shutdown. Time is set, Thanksgiving travel is going to be totally hit.
With the order ending, carriers can return to normal operations and resume flights that had been limited for the past several weeks.

First they came for the pennies, now the US Mint has set its sights on the nickel. According to a new Treasury review, the nickel now costs more than ten cents to produce, making it one of the most expensive coins in the system. As cash use continues to decline and coins sit in jars instead of in circulation, officials are considering whether to shut down nickel production altogether.
The move would follow a similar trajectory to the penny, which was phased out by the government after years of rising metal and manufacturing costs. Both coins remain legal tender, but only existing supplies are in use.
If the nickel is phased out, everyday cash transactions will permanently shift to dimes and quarters, reshaping the change Americans make — and pushing another familiar coin closer to history’s coin jar.
