I wonder if Newsela or something similar would be useful. When teaching Econ to ELL students, I used it to select and help scaffold readings. Free accounts have news and rotating articles updated weekly, as far as I remember.

When my net worth is $20(after 3.5 more years paying $1k/month in student loans on a public school teacher’s salary), I might detach from reality and buy one of those Dubai chocolate bars I read about in the paper. Wait I just realized they’re already $35 and nothing will be cheap ever again.
