The cost of living in rural America tends to be less expensive than rent in big cities, but even in a rural town like Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, many working Americans are struggling to get by.Data from the United Way show 64 percent of households in Stroudsburg are below poverty line or make less than needed to afford basic living expenses.“I am a single mom of three children, ranging from 22-12,” said Shelly McCarthy. “I work from the time I get up at six in the morning until four at night.”For the last four years, McCarthy has worked up to four jobs at the same time.“From waitressing, doing visiting nursing, and also working with developmental adults,” McCarthy explained. “I miss out on a lot of my 12-year old’s activities at school.”Despite all the hours worked, McCarthy has had months where she couldn’t make the mortgage or had funds for much-needed repairs to her home. As for being able to afford healthier food for the family? That’s out of reach.“My daughter has a thyroid disease. So, I miss out on cooking healthy meals for her, because I had to cut down,” said McCarthy. “I couldn’t afford healthy food. I couldn’t afford Mediterranean fish.”“What is happening in America is that the cost of living is outstripping the wages,” said Sarah Jacobi, with Pocono Mountains United Way. “We are seeing over the last 10 years wages increased by 20 percent, but the cost-of-living increased up to 36 percent for a family of four, so people are just falling farther and farther behind.”The United Way has created a data project known as the A.L.I.C.E., which measures the number of people in America who are Asset Limited Income Constrained Employed. It’s essentially the number of people who make above the federal poverty line but less than what they need to afford basic living expenses. “Two out of every five American people today are AIICE,” said Jacobi. “This truly is the American experience that people are living every day.”However, according to the United Way’s data, it doesn’t have to be.“The ALICE report not only does give us that data, to understand where is ALICE and what is their struggle,” said Jacobi. “But it helps us [to] have insight into what are the cost people are truly facing and how we could craft everything from public policy position to help improve lives of people to how we can create programs boots on the ground able to help people.”People like McCarthy are hopeful help will come, either from an economic boost that affects more working-class Americans or public policy that focuses on giving people like her a chance to get ahead. 2595

Thanks to Facebook and Instagram's partial outage on Wednesday, users were able to see some of the social networking sites' artificial intelligence at work. Users who visited both sites using a computer browser could see that Facebook and Instagram photos contain basic descriptions of who and what is in a photo (for instance clouds, clothing, people, etc.). In one photo, the A.I. could figure out that a person was wearing a suit.Here is what Facebook's website says about how it processes information in photos: "We are creating visual sensors derived from digital images and videos that extract information about our environment, to further enable Facebook services to automate tasks that people automatically do today visually. Our ultimate goal, to automatically, and intelligently enhance people’s experiences across Facebook products."A request for further comment has been left for Facebook. Facebook's website 933

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran's government says 12 people have died nationwide from COVID-19, commonly known as coronavirus, and it has rejected claims of a much higher death toll by a lawmaker from the city of Qom that has been at the epicenter of the virus in the country. The conflicting reports raised questions about the Iranian government’s transparency concerning the scale of the outbreak. Iran's Health Ministry said total infections have risen to 61 while deaths stood at 12. However, a lawmaker from Qom was quoted by a semi-official news agency as saying the death toll was 50. Even with the lower toll of 12, the number of deaths compared to the number of confirmed infections is higher in Iran than in any other country.The 745

The ads are appealing. They feature deals for vets to refinance their homes and cash out on the equity. However, home and refinance loan programs targeted towards military veterans can be a benefit or a headache, depending on the lender. John Bell, advisor for the Veterans Affairs Administration in D.C. says there are many reasons why vets can take advantage of borrowing cash against their home. But how you choose a cash-out lender makes a big difference. “We want to make sure that veterans are armed with information from the disclosure process early in the process as well as though closing, so they understand the decisions they're making,” he says. Bell says, unfortunately, there are predatory lenders out there targeting vets, sticking vets with thousands of dollars in hidden fees. “Have we seen it, yes,” Bell explains. “Do we know how to combat it and help you in navigating that process? Without a doubt.” In 2018, the United States Department of Veterans Affairs stepped up its regulations for lenders, specifically on cash-out refinance loans. The VA has always offered advisor services to protect borrowers through their long-standing VA home loan program. “We need to make sure that all lenders are operating on the same playing field, that they're all giving veterans the transparency that they need to make informed decisions,” Bell says. According to a report by the American Enterprise Institute, in September of 2018, veterans cashed in on cash-outs. They accounted for 86 percent of mortgage loans, which was up about 30 percent from two years prior. “The general rule is if it sounds too good to be true it usually is,” Bell says. Bell says in order to not cause a mortgage crisis among vets, it's best if you know what you’re getting yourself into. “Be sure you're asking the right questions,” he says. “You want to know the exchange of equity that you're going to take out, what is the overall cost of that, and make an informed decision.” 1983
