Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness.

Over the weekend, my wife's 13-year-old niece stayed with us. And I got an up-close look at how Roblox has turned so many kids into gambling addicts.
The niece even admitted as much as she and her friends opened boxes for rare pets that could be sold/traded for more currency to place more bets.
