Don't do this. Visit an indie bookstore, a small business, people who are passionate about what they do - they will help you find the right gift, your dollars support the local economy - and we aren't trying to control the world. #shopsmall #indiebookstores
Roughly 42% of shoppers are already using A.I. tools for their holiday shopping, a recent survey found. More than half of Generation Z and millennial respondents said they trusted A.I. to recommend unique gifts. nyti.ms/4pocGQc
A.I. Can Do More of Your Shopping This Holiday Season
New tools and features from retailers and tech companies use artificial intelligence to help people find gifts and make decisions about their shopping lists.

Imagine escaping the literal Nazis, making it to America, living three quarters of a century there making your life, and then this:
79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.
He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.

Sanford grandfather, born in refugee camp, nabbed by ICE after 70 years in U.S.
Paul Bojerski never gained official residency, but he checked in regularly with ICE for years. Then in July, at age 79, he was detained and sent to Alligator Alcatraz.
