Travelers heading home after the Thanksgiving holiday set a record on Sunday, as airport officers screened more than 3 million people.

The Transportation Security Administration said Monday that it handled 3.09 million travelers, breaking the previous record by about 74,000. That mark was set on July 7, also a Sunday after a holiday.

Hundreds of thousands of travelers were delayed or had their flights canceled. Airlines canceled about 120 U.S. flights — not an unusually high number — and more than 6,800 flights were delayed, according to FlightAware.

The largest numbers of delays were at Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport and Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.

1. So how expensive are eggs if people can't afford them?

4. I dunno, but bacon was $9 when I bought it today

Most expensive I've ever seen.

2. Some people will complain about eggs costing $4.00 a dozen while

3. I don't think the ones using oat milk are the ones complaining about the price of eggs

5. Less than 1%

Less than 1% of the US population of 333 million traveled by air on Thanksgiving Sunday.

I’m pretty sure the majority of that 1% did not have concerns about the price of eggs nor even remotely base a vote for President on it.

The continued tone deathness and now mocking toward the economic struggles of the poor and lower middle classes aren’t going to win any elections.

6. Seems that Biden's economy is very good, indeed.

Was somebody lying to us?
