                <media:description>HOUSTON, TEXAS - AUGUST 04: A price-tag is shown at a Walmart store on August 04, 2021 in Houston, Texas. The cost of back-to-school items is on the rise due to a combination of delays in U.S. manufacturing and heightened consumer demand for goods. The steep increases are partially due to both elementary and college-aged students returning back to school after missing in-person class sessions during the pandemic.

                <media:description>ANAHEIM, CA - APRIL 30: People pose for selfies at Disneyland Park as it reopens for the first time since the COVID 19 pandemic forced the park to shut down last year on April 30, 2021 in Anaheim, California. California saw some of the highest infection rates in the nation over the winter but now enjoys some of the lowest. Los Angeles County, for example, is now expected to move from the orange tier of the states economic reopening system based on COVID-19 metrics to the least restrictive yellow tier, which would allow greater reopening freedoms, as early as next week.
