                              'Dynamic pricing' Is a consumer’s best friend | Les Rubin

                              Prices constantly change in America's competitive, free-market economy. Prices help allocate scarce resources, reflecting shifts in supply and demand.

                              The U.S. Census Bureau said July 9 that it received 531,423 business applications in June on a seasonally adjusted basis, capping what was for the first half of the year the highest sustained rate of such applications in the 22-year history of the series.

                              Letter: Raccuia got a raw deal from Bills owner Pegula

                              To say I was shocked was a really good understatement when I read that Ron Raccuia was “fired” (yes, fired without explanation) from the Buffalo Bills, and without any real public explanation as to why. Here’s a man who probably is solely responsible for not only bringing the new stadium to Orchard Park but keeping the Bills here for the next 30 years or so (with a shout-out to Gov. Kathy Hochul and Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz). So why did the Bills send him to the curb after this? I’m sure many other Bills fans want to know why. What am I missing here?

                              Morgan Griffith wants Roe v. Wade overturned so that control over abortion can be returned to the “states and the people.”

                              I read with interest an article outlining the possible extension of Amtrak passenger rail service to Southwest Virginia.
