2024.05.02 03:36 Low-Succotash-7791 'Agree' or 'Disagree'

I've been working at Macy's for a week and am still getting use to everything. I logged onto MyInsite to check my schedule and they want me to 'Agree' or 'Disagree' to my times because I clocked out late. It's only by a few minutes, but I worked those few minutes and had to walk to the register so of course it's not going to be precise.
I also clocked in a few minutes late when my shift started and came back from break a few minutes late, but I'll eat that. I actually stay late when I'm suppose to get off at a scheduled time to help the team.
I know my manager will look out for me. Just trying to see which one I should choose.

Watch as Nasdaq will be trying o break above 18k. We have to see if that can happen, but that is the key level on Nasdaq. Above that, watch 440 on QQQ

2024.02.21 21:03 LetsTalkUFOs Reminder: Be Mindful of Your Mental Health

We’d like to issue a general reminder for everyone to be mindful of their mental health. Our community is poised to be hyper-aware of the various predicaments humanity is presently facing. As a result, we think having a strong mental support system and set of resources in place is extremely important. Here are some of the general resources and groups we would recommend. Please let us know if there are any others we should be aware of:
 
CollapseSupport
Forum community
A dedicated place for thoughtful discussion about the state of the world as it stands today and how we are coping.
 
Collapse Support Calls
Weekly online calls
Hosted by the collapsesupport on their Community Discord, these are open calls for thoughtful discussion. There is no obligation to speak, but you may interact in text as well.
 
Good Grief Network
Online programs and groups
Offers 10-step programs to help individuals and communities build resilience by creating spaces where people can lean into their painful feelings about the state of the world and reorient their lives toward meaningful action.
 
Safe Circle
Weekly online video calls
For people who desire companionship in the often lonely world of the Collapse-Aware. These online video support calls are for people who enjoy the authentic presence of kindred spirits as we face our predicament-laden world together.
 
Surviving the Future: Conversations for Our Time
Online programs / Network
Vermont’s Sterling College offers this always-available online program. Conversations, courses and welcoming community from every continent making sense of these troubled times together. Featuring the likes of Shaun Chamberlin, Vandana Shiva, Jason Hickel, Kate Raworth, Nate Hagens and David Abram. Offered on a ‘pay what feels right’ basis.
 
Collapse Club
Weekly open video calls / Facebook Group
In this time of crisis and catastrophe, our comfort is to be with other people who understand what we’re going through. In a Collapse Club meeting, you will join like-minded people in a safe, structured space to share your experience of collapse and to cultivate communal wisdom.
 
Living In The Time Of Dying Sharing Group
Monthly open video calls
A monthly support group, where our intention is to be with our feelings about the climate / societal situation. Facilitated by Michael Shaw, director of Living in the Time of Dying, and Michelle Walter.
 
The Work That Reconnects Network

CPA Climate Cafés

Adapted from the Death Café model, climate cafés are a simple, empathetic space where fears & uncertainties about climate & ecological crisis can be safely expressed.
 
Warmlines
24/7 Support Lines
Warmlines allow are free call lines for mental health support. They’re different from crisis lines which are more focused on getting you connected to crisis resources as quickly as possible. They’re still confidential and staffed by trained individuals.
 
Helplines

2023.11.27 20:12 alyssac019 Is it safe to assume they let me go?

I'm a seasonal associate at Macy's. Recently, I called out of a few shifts. My next shift was supposed to be today but Saturday the called me and I couldn't answer. Yes, the most logical thing is to call them back but I'd rather keep my dignity. Then I checked my email and Human Resources emailed me instructions for claiming unemployment benefits and an offborading checklist. This past week I also got a check from them in the mail. Also, forgot to mention that my employee ID number is blocked on insite when I try to log in. Safe to assume they decided to mail me my last paycheck and I no longer have a job there?

Now, researchers from Rowan University and Rutgers University in New Jersey have found that kids with autism and ADHD cannot expel BPA from their bodies as quickly as neurotypical kids. BPA has been linked to both conditions previously, though this is the first to find that kids with ADHD and autism have a harder time eliminating the chemical.
The researchers also believe increased BPA exposure may increase the risk of developing these conditions but admit it is not clear how that works. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-12614847/Gender-bending-chemical-BPA-linked-ADHD-autism.html

Whether or not people choose to attend a climate protest partly depends on its expected size. When they expect a larger protest, they are less likely to take part—as Universität Hamburg's Cluster of Excellence for climate research (CLICCS) shows in a publication in the journal Nature Climate Change.
Mass protests are an important motivator for politicians to implement ambitious climate policy. But what determines whether a protest movement grows or dwindles? The study at hand uses the example of the global climate strike from 2019 to show that, for many people in Germany, their participation depends on how many people they expect to attend a given demonstration. Accordingly, Fridays for Future's strategy—organizing multiple local protests at the same time, instead of one massive centralized event—can successfully motivate more people. https://phys.org/news/2023-10-climate-protests-size.html

Furthermore, these taxes have shown a reduction in body mass index among adolescent girls in countries such as Mexico, she said.
Another policy in more than 20 countries is nutrition labels on the front of these foods has shown a significant reduction in these purchases.
“It’s essential to understand the addiction to these ultra-processed foods globally, particularly in low- and middle-income countries,” Gearhardt said, noting these foods’ heightened appeal due to low cost, convenience and marketing. “It will take courageous action to change these and other economic and structural factors that drive people towards ultra-processed foods.”
The study’s co-authors are Nassib Bueno of Universidade Federal de Alagoas in Brazil, Christina Roberto of the University of Pennsylvania, and Susana Jiménez-Murcia and Fernando Fernandez-Aranda, of the University Hospital of Bellvitge in Spain. https://news.umich.edu/identifying-some-foods-as-addictive-could-stimulate-research-shift-attitudes/

Mice fed high-fat diet with the addition of gluten gained even more weight, 20.4 grams on average. Adding gluten to the low-fat diet had no effect – there was no difference in weight gained between the low-fat diet with gluten added group and the group of mice that ate a low-fat diet without added gluten. https://www.psypost.org/2023/10/consumption-of-gluten-harms-the-hypothalamus-region-of-the-brain-in-male-mice-and-may-lead-to-obesity-study-finds-214029
As sea levels rise – due to climate change and other natural factors – the “salt line,” a natural barrier where inland water meets the ocean’s salty water, is shifting. While shifts in this line are natural and have occurred for billions of years, it has recently shifted more inward, with seawater pushing the salt line further inland as it takes over. This poses a huge threat to our drinking water.
This has resulted in freshwater supply like wells becoming tainted and contaminated, https://bgr.com/science/rising-sea-levels-are-putting-our-freshwater-levels-at-risk/

"As a country, we need to trust the institutions that we have in place and call them to order when they breach the law," Angote said, making reference to government bodies that regulate GM foods.
"We should be confident that our health is in good hands."
An official from LSK told AFP there had not been a decision on whether to appeal the ruling.
Another case against GM crops filed by Paul Mwangi, a lawyer who is close to the opposition, is still active in court.
Kenya, like many other African nations, banned GM crops over health and safety concerns and to protect smallholder farms, which account for the vast majority of rural agricultural producers in the country.
However, the East African powerhouse faced criticism over the ban, including from the United States, which is a major producer of GM crops.
Activists and agriculture lobby groups have protested over the lifting of the ban, saying it opened the market to US farmers using sophisticated technologies and highly subsidized farming that threatened the livelihoods of small-scale farmers. https://phys.org/news/2023-10-kenyan-court-dismisses-gm-crops.html

The researchers determined that a subset of patients with long COVID had traces of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in their stool samples even months after acute COVID-19 infection, which suggests that components of the virus remain in the gut of some patients long after infection. They found that this remaining virus, called a viral reservoir, triggers the immune system to release proteins that fight the virus, called interferons. These interferons cause inflammation that reduces the absorption of the amino acid tryptophan in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
Tryptophan is a building block for several neurotransmitters, including serotonin, which is primarily produced in the GI tract and carries messages between nerve cells in the brain and throughout the body. It plays a key role in regulating memory, sleep, digestion, wound healing, and other functions that maintain homeostasis within the body. Serotonin is also an important regulator of the vagus nerve, a system of neurons that mediate the communication between the body and the brain. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2023-10-serotonin-reduction-covid-symptoms.html
It appears that some studies prescribing resistance exercise interventions were not sufficiently loaded to bring about the structural adaptations required for tendon repair (Gatz 2020, Cho 2017).
Interventions where resistance exercise was done less frequently, with rest days, had better outcomes for disability, pain, function and quality of life than those doing resistance exercises daily or more than once a day. This is consistent with strength training principles which call for rest days to encourage better adaptive processes in the mechanical properties of tendons before further loading occurs. The most common number of total repetitions was 45 (e.g., 3 sets of 15 repetitions) but we did not find any consistent patterns of dose-response on patient outcomes in our analysis of exercise volume.
What are the key take-home points?
Clinicians prescribing resistance exercise should consider including higher intensities, that involve adding external weight, and should ensure adequate rest between sessions to facilitate recovery. Although some patients may need a longer period to build up their intensity it is important to keep reviewing whether the load intensity is adequate to trigger improvements. https://blogs.bmj.com/bjsm/2023/10/16/resistance-exercise-for-tendinopathy-how-heavy-how-much-and-how-often/
Scholars from the University of Kentucky launched the Vesuvius Challenge in March, releasing thousands of X-ray images of charred, carbonized Herculaneum scrolls together with untrained artificial intelligence software that could be used to interpret the scans.
Now two students have claimed the first prizes to be awarded: Luke Farritor, a computer science student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and Youssef Nader, a biorobotics grad student at the Free University of Berlin in Germany. https://www.sciencealert.com/ai-deciphers-ancient-scroll-buried-in-the-ashes-of-mount-vesuvius
They identified that gene expression was significantly changed in calorie-restricted participants compared to controls, including genes related to protein regulation, circadian rhythm regulation, DNA repair, programmed cell death (apoptosis), and inflammation.
There were changes in biological pathways involved in muscle repair and skeletal muscle formation (myogenesis), leading to an increase in skeletal muscle quality and the mechanisms of aging. Some upregulated genes included those responsible for energy generation and metabolism, while downregulated inflammatory genes reduced inflammation.
The researchers say their findings highlight the mechanisms by which calorie restriction provides health benefits, especially in older people. https://newatlas.com/health-wellbeing/calorie-restriction-stimulates-muscle-health-expression-of-healthy-aging-genes/
This study is a massive part of a catalog that is focused on cataloging the size and complexity of our brains and how the connections between those cells make us unique.

None of this could have happened if it weren’t for the sad reality that it’s almost impossible to find an elected Republican at the state or federal level who is willing to admit that the science linking our deadly weather to burning fossil fuels is real. Rejecting climate science is the price of admission to today’s GOP: fossil fuel billionaires have built much of the political infrastructure and provide many of the campaign contributions, state and federal, that sustain the party in election after election.

A brain-inspired computer chip that could supercharge artificial intelligence (AI) by working faster with much less power has been developed by researchers at IBM in San Jose, California. Their massive NorthPole processor chip eliminates the need to frequently access external memory, and so performs tasks such as image recognition faster than existing architectures do — while consuming vastly less power.
“Its energy efficiency is just mind-blowing,” says Damien Querlioz, a nanoelectronics researcher at the University of Paris-Saclay in Palaiseau. The work, published in Science1, shows that computing and memory can be integrated on a large scale, he says. “I feel the paper will shake the common thinking in computer architecture.” https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-03267-0

When given the choice to learn how their actions will affect someone else, 40% of people will choose ignorance, often in order to have an excuse to act selfishly, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.
“Examples of such willful ignorance abound in everyday life, such as when consumers ignore information about the problematic origins of the products they buy,” said lead author Linh Vu, MS, a doctoral candidate at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. “We wanted to know just how prevalent and how harmful willful ignorance is, as well as why people engage in it.” https://scienceblog.com/540081/id-rather-not-know-why-we-choose-ignorance/
But for how long can stories be passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth? A few hundred years? Maybe a thousand?
Try 12,000 years! A new study, led by Dr Duane Hamacher from the University of Melbourne, shows that in Lutruwita/Tasmania, Palawa have a rich oral tradition that tells of geological events and astronomical conditions that stretch back more than 10 millennia. https://www.australiangeographic.com.au/topics/history-culture/2023/10/stories-told-by-aboriginal-tasmanians-could-be-oldest-recorded-in-the-world/
One of the most significant Palaeolithic art sites found in recent years has been discovered within a 500-meter-long cave on Europe’s Eastern Iberian Coast.
Hailed by archaeologists as “arguably the most important” cave art discovery in the region, the trove of ancient images, which are believed to be close to 24,000 years old, was found at Cova Dones, a site near Millares located a short distance from Valencia, Spain. https://thedebrief.org/a-24000-year-old-discovery-in-a-european-cave-left-researchers-stunned-now-theyre-calling-it-the-most-important-of-its-kind/
So why is LinkedIn laying people off? It's hard to overlook Microsoft's all-in shift toward AI — which, it's worth noting, has included LinkedIn, which earlier this year unveiled a suite of generative AI tools for sales, marketing and recruiting.

Deforestation for rubber cultivation has been "substantially underestimated", and is two to three times higher than generally assumed, a new study said Wednesday.
Using satellite data and cloud computing, scientists said they compiled the first detailed accounting of deforestation for rubber production in Southeast Asia—which accounts for most of global production.
It suggests more than four million hectares of forest have been lost since 1993, and reveals that rubber has been planted in areas that are key for biodiversity. https://phys.org/news/2023-10-deforestation-rubber-vastly-underestimated.html

Rates of polypharmacy — taking five or more prescription drugs at once — are at high levels. While most people taking prescriptions were on only one medication in the mid-1990s, people are now equally likely to be taking five or more.
Long-term effects of newer drugs aren't known, Ho noted. And polypharmacy puts you at greater risk for drug interactions, side effects and poor outcomes, she said. https://consumer.healthday.com/prescription-2665938454.html
On Oct. 6, news broke that 23andMe, the Google-owned company that collects genetic material from thousands of people for ancestry and genetic predisposition tests, had a massive data breach.
But as it turns out, the company’s servers were not hacked. Rather, hackers targeted hundreds of individual user accounts — allegedly those that had weak or repeated passwords. After gaining access to the accounts, hackers could leverage the “DNA relatives matches” function of 23andMe to get information about thousands of people who didn’t use the service.
This data breach challenges how we think about privacy, data security and corporate accountability in the information economy. https://theconversation.com/the-23andme-data-breach-reveals-the-vulnerabilities-of-our-interconnected-data-193615

The power of water
Tidal power has great potential because water is such a potent power source. It is nearly 1,000 times more dense than air, so the energy is far more concentrated.
And it has another big advantage over renewable technologies like wind and solar - the tides are predictable.
Wind and solar power are increasingly cheap to deploy, but only work when the sun is shining or the wind is blowing.
Tidal power, on the other hand, can deliver a steady, reliable stream of energy day in, day out. https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-67170625

The Rising Threat of Thyroid Cancer
The global incidence and mortality rates of thyroid cancers have increased significantly in recent decades. There has been an average of 3.6% increase in thyroid cancer incidence per year in the United States between 1974 and 2013. A similar induction has been observed in China, Italy, and Turkey. Among 10 – 19-year-olds in the United States, about a 4.4% increase in the incidence rates of differentiated thyroid cancers (follicular and papillary thyroid cancers) per year has been reported between 1998 and 2013.

"Scientists have a moral obligation to clearly warn humanity of any catastrophic threat and to 'tell it like it is.'"
“Without actions that address the root problem of humanity taking more from the Earth than it can safely give, we’re on our way to the potential collapse of natural and socioeconomic systems and a world with unbearable heat and shortages of food and freshwater,” study lead co-author and former Oregon State University College of Forestry postdoctoral researcher Christopher Wolf said in a statement.
A study last month in the journal Science Advances arrived at a similar conclusion. It noted that there are nine planetary boundaries that humanity cannot exceed if life on Earth is to remain sustainable. Climate change is only one of those boundaries, and it is one that humanity is obviously exceeding. Yet we are also at existential risk for six of the nine categories, including land system change, freshwater change, biosphere integrity, novel entities (like plastics, pesticides, industrial chemicals, etc.) and the flows of biological and geological chemicals. https://www.salon.com/2023/10/25/we-cant-stop-antarctica-from-melting-as-scientists-warn-we-are-entering-uncharted-territory/
The moth is not only destructive, it also reproduces at a high rate. A single cream-colored female moth with its thin antennae and brown zigzag-striped wings can lay 1,000 eggs, according to the department.
Washington state officials have largely been able to keep the spongy moth at bay by spending roughly $1 million on early detection and eradication.
Officials speculate that the high number this year is due to people resuming travel after the pandemic and inadvertently moving spongy moth egg masses from the Eastern U.S. into Washington, https://phys.org/news/2023-10-washington-big-invasive-tree-eating-moths.html
Adults' attitudes towards children have changed to 'fortunate,' 'tech savvy' and 'honest' and less 'selfish,' 'lazy' or 'spoilt' according to new research.

Proof Gamestop is gearing up for M&A activity per their Credit Agreement, and how it fits into our collective thesis. Guess what? It's almost time.
This DD details the findings of the Gamestop 10-Q, and speculates what the merger target is based around the terms of the credit agreement. I was going to post tomorrow, but it’s come together enough for now to get started.
EVERYONE PLEASE HELP VET THIS - I will fix any inaccuracies.
Link to document:
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgadata/1326380/000132638023000047/creditagreementwellsgamest.htm

Gamestop filed their updated Credit Agreement today as part of their 10-Q. A Credit Agreement details the terms of a loan. This one happens to be 206
This details the terms of the loan, agreed upon by lenders (Wells Fargo giving the lending the money, and WF, JPM, & BoA are helping administrate) to Gamestop (lead plan administrators/holders of the loan). A few GS subsidiaries are being used as collateral to guarantee the loan.
This is the first page in the Credit Agreement outlining the big players that are cited above.
https://preview.redd.it/b23uwd6q9umb1.png?width=1938&format=png&auto=webp&s=0820e3becfd65ccb64358bb84024e026fbb15753
Now, in these Credit Agreements there are all kinds of stipulations on what you can and can’t do with the money. I don’t usually spend all day reading Credit Agreements, so I’m not speaking from experience here, but this seems like it’s tailored specifically for a very complex merger / acquisition or SERIES of them.
Using this as my baseline, I then wanted to figure out if Gamestop would be acquired - or they were the ones doing the acquiring.
You don’t have to read this following image, I’ll summarize for you, but here it is for reference
Summary below
A "Permitted Acquisition" in this credit agreement refers to a purchase or acquisition by Gamestop or its subsidiaries. For Gamestop to be allowed to go through with the acquisition certain conditions must be met by Gamestop, including having no defaults, meeting collateral and guarantee requirements, complying with financial conditions, and obtaining board approval for the acquisition.
Seems good, pretty standard.
Negative Covenants - Article 9
Article 9 is about what circumstances are not allowed for the loan to be used, as well as exceptions to the rules depending on the categories. It’s huge, so I’m not going to post it here.
9.1 goes into Limitations based around Liens.
Section 9.2: This section outlines the types of investments that GameStop and its Restricted Subsidiaries are permitted to make with the money from the agreement. These include investments in cash and cash equivalents, loans to officers and employees, intercompany loans, and extensions of credit in the ordinary course of business. The section also allows for investments related to swap contracts, promissory notes, and other specific circumstances. Investment limits based on certain financial metrics and conditions are also defined.
It’s a very big section - but there’s certainly a standout. In case you already forgot, this is the section stating what Gamestop can use the money on.
9.2(l) Joint Ventures & Joint Venture Investments
I like that
Since this is a legal document, we have to define both Joint Ventures, and Joint Venture Investments per the terms of the Credit Agreement.
​
I try to make sense of this below
"Joint Venture Investments," are defined as investments in any Joint Venture or Unrestricted Subsidiary. A "Joint Venture" is any entity in which a Loan Party (GME) or a Restricted Subsidiary has significant influence but not full control. This is often characterized by ownership of between 20% and 50% of the voting stock. Additionally, a Joint Venture can also be any entity in which GameStop or its Restricted Subsidiaries have an Equity Interest but which is not categorized as a Restricted Subsidiary (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary).
The agreement specifies that the aggregate amount for such Joint Venture Investments cannot exceed the greater of (a) $25,000,000 or (b) 15% of the Consolidated EBITDA as of the most recently ended Test Period, calculated on a Pro Forma Basis.
For example, let's say GameStop wants to invest in IEP. If GameStop acquires between 20% and 50% of IEP's voting stock, they would have a Joint Venture with IEP, and this investment would fall under the category of "Joint Venture Investments." The amount GameStop could invest in IEP would then be subject to the financial limitations specified in the agreement, such as not exceeding $25,000,000 or 15% of their most recent Consolidated EBITDA.
Additionally, if GameStop already owns an Equity Interest in IEP but does not have Joint Venture status (i.e., they own less than 20% of the voting stock), they could still make additional investments in IEP to either maintain their Equity Interest or potentially reach Joint Venture status, provided they stay within the financial constraints of the Loan Agreement. Now, we don’t know if they hold IEP or even if this is their strategy.
But, here’s what I think is going on, and how specifically the Joint Ventures are going to work in the long run, and what they’re building structurally here. It fits in with every part of the thesis, and explains a lot of these tangental connections. We have all speculated about companies being under the Teddy umbrella, I’m not trying to claim that as my idea, but rather give it structure with a bit more context. Again, this is extrapolation from the information provided. Enter, the Japanese business structure of the horizontal keiretsu.
​
Beautiful sunrise
Horizontal Keiretsu
A Keiretsu is a set of companies with interlocking business relationships and shareholdings. It is a type of business group. There are two types, Horizontal and Vertical. I believe we are about to see a Horizontal Keiretsu once Teddy is born. But before we get to how we get Teddy, let’s go over what a Horizontal Keiretsu is.
A bank (Teddy) is usually at the center, providing financial support. Companies in a horizontal Keiretsu often own small percentages of shares in each other, strengthening mutual relationships and discouraging hostile takeovers. I theorize that Larry Cheng, Pulte, Icahn, Brett Icahn, Kevin Plank, and many more, are working alongside RC - hoovering up companies to add to the keiretsu, along with their own established companies.
Structure of a Horizontal Keiretsu
  • Centered Around a Bank: A major bank often sits at the center of a horizontal Keiretsu, providing financial services and support to all member companies. The bank essentially acts as the backbone of the group, ensuring liquidity and credit availability.
  • Cross-Ownership: Companies in the group usually own small stakes in each other. This shareholding structure reinforces mutual trust and discourages hostile takeovers.
Industries and Sectors
​
  • Diverse Portfolio: Companies in a horizontal Keiretsu typically come from a wide range of industries. Think very, very big. The diversification adds resilience to the group as a whole. Not just Amazon categories but manufacturing, electronics, etc. Like if Newell, Canon, L Catterton, Apple, Nike, Sears, Macys, LEGO, Nordstrom, IEP, Flexport, Gamestop, & Overstock / Bed Bath & Beyond all centered around a BANK / financial holding company called Teddy.
Key Features
​
  • Collaboration: Member companies often collaborate on joint ventures, R&D projects, and other initiatives. The tight-knit network makes it easier to coordinate these efforts.
  • Information Sharing: Inside the Keiretsu, there is often a free flow of information, helping companies anticipate market trends or economic downturns more accurately.
  • Supply Chain: While not as tightly integrated as in a vertical Keiretsu, member companies do prefer to do business with each other, further strengthening the ties.
  • Risk Mitigation: The cross-shareholding and mutual business interests allow for risks to be distributed more evenly across the group, making each company more resilient to market fluctuations.
This vibing with you? Through series of complex M&A activity, including the launch of Teddy, we will have our Amazon competitor in the form of a Horizontal Keiretsu.
Lets jump back to the Credit Agreement in GME’s 10-Q - Section 9.8
First off, there’s lots of good stuff in here. Lots to go over, and I’ll likely add to this post as I find more things after I sleep. There’s one section in particular that I feel is applicable, to the situation with towel, that is. Remember, we’re still in the Negative Covenants aka things you can’t do unless there’s an exception, so here’s the thing we can’t do, and then there’s a bunch of exceptions that will allow you to do it.
​
Affiliates in this case are anyone the Loan Party (GME) knows on a first name basis essentially.
So, you can’t use the money for any acquisition over $5,000,000 with any Affiliate unless you meet one of the exceptions they list. The reason the Affiliates bit here is important, is because Affiliates also include yourself if you happen to control multiple companies which would stop Gamestop RC from acquiring something from another company he owns - say Teddy. There’s possibly several more exceptions here that would apply, but these are the ones that struck me. The highlighted bits are summarized below.
​
https://preview.redd.it/jq9aihbfaumb1.png?width=2448&format=png&auto=webp&s=1567c3a94c3c3668a1bb86aca468ba28a5ce3630
Take note of all the [reserved] placeholders. That leaves a lot of flexibility to add in whatever you’d like down the line. I’m sure more of these apply, but I’m v tired and just chose a couple.
Section 9.8(i) in the restricted covenants allows transactions with affiliates if they were already in place as of a certain date (the Closing Date) and are listed in a specific schedule. Amendments to those existing agreements are also allowed, as long as they don't materially harm the lenders compared to the original terms. This, IMO, leaves the door open to slide in whatever you want before the Closing Date.
Section 9.8(r) allows transactions with affiliates if those transactions are approved by a majority of the board members who have no personal interest in the transaction. These are known as "disinterested members" of the Board of Directors. As long as the majority of the Board of Directors in Gamestop approves of the transaction, it’s good to go.
If Gamestop wanted to acquire Loopring, Elixer, or some other well-priced complimentary company, they now have everything they need to do so.
We can only speculate on what companies Gamestop is looking to merge with. I have a few thoughts, but this post is already punishing enough. The point is, they’re ready. This feels like the launchpad - you do not go through all this trouble just to sit on your hands and waste time. If we’re going to have our Horizontal Keiretsu, we need a bank.
Teddy
First, let's scroll back up to the top and double check the date the Credit Agreement was amended. May 11th, 2023, right? Look what happened on the 12th?
​
Shout out to Salvatore Linteum (PhantomBlack691) on X for this lovely Cohencidental find.
Teddy is currently registered as a financial holding company / a bank. They are currently a private company. We know that RC had interest in that baby company many moons ago that was tied to that towel stock that went bankrupt and now is a shell of a company. What if I told you, that the best way for Teddy to go public, was through the carcass of towel - which has stripped away all assets and “has nothing left to sell?” In a reverse-merger, you do exactly this. You use the shell of a public company in order to launch a private company public. It allows you to skip a bunch of hoops that you typically need to jump through to go public via IPO. In addition to this, if you play your cards right, you can use any Net Operating Losses as a tax credit over the course of a few years.
Before this part starts up, you have to be on the same page with me on something. First, this is only my opinion, but it’s rooted in pretty solid facts that are somewhat undeniable. There is a ton of noise around this subject. It has been censored somewhat relentlessly. However, considering the contents of this 10-Q, I feel it’s important to discuss the facts here - as I know them. I’m up to constructive discussion on any of these points, and am happy to clarify anything. Please also know that a certain group has been targeting me and my posts recently; take that for what it’s worth.
First, RC is listed as both a creditor & a codebtor in bankruptcy documents of that company. To become a creditor, the company has to owe you money. To be a codebtor, you have to be on the hook to some degree as well. Sometimes it means you cosigned as a guarantor on something. Like, if you have you dad cosign for a car, then you are codebtors with your dad. Word?
Before bankruptcy, this company issued stacks of Series A Convertible Preferred shares, that you could exercise into warrants, which you could then either exercise the warrants for Common Stock or cash. Still with me? These also had a “Bankruptcy Triggering Provision” via the Redemption Rights via the 10-K that was filed months late in June.
​
Mezzanine financing is a hybrid between traditional cash lending and equity. It often involves the issuance of warrants, and can be used to provide financing where traditional means have failed. For an acquirer, it can be a great way to hide true ownership while maintaining certain levers of control. It can also be a perfect method for a private company to go public through the shell company and works as a way to finance the process while obfuscating ownership.
​
Note the triggering provisions / redemption upon bankruptcy
We know from filings that the vast majority of these were exercised to Common Stock. ~23,365 There were 180 of the Series A shares that were not exercised. Keep in mind, these were $10,000 each at the time of sale. Per the Redemption Rights above, the holder when going into bankruptcy has the option to exercise the Series A shares for 115% of the original purchase price. In short, they could have made 15% risk free and gone home.
But they didn’t. They exercised all of them for Stock A. Well, all of them but 180 of them. 180 shares of Series A entitles the holder to choose either cash or common stock. However, the company has no say when that happens. Due to these Series A shares in limbo, the company is required to retain both the number of shares & the cash - because they don’t know what the holder will choose, and they can’t make them exercise. Not only this, but from the 13,543 Series A shares that were sold - Towel took a $3.1 billion dollar reduction to retained earnings on their consolidated balance sheet. That loss will be part of the carry-forward equity - which will offset tax burdens via NOLs over the course of years.
Visit my profile for more info - I can’t get too bogged down here. That explains RC as a creditor. Nothing else really does.
Now, why is he the codebtor? In short, he cosigned for the DIP facility, which not only gives him supermajority creditor position through 6th street, but also the rights of a debtor, because his dick is on the line if towel dies and 6th street doesn’t get paid. The big right here is being the only one to submit a plan in ch 11. That exclusivity period doesn’t end until November. Through Common Stock ownership, creditor rights through Series A, supermajority creditor rights via the DIP provided through 6th street, and he’s in exclusive control over the plans that get submitted.
“bUt YoU dOnT hAvE pRoOf FoR tHaT” - THERE IS NO OTHER LOGICAL EXPLANATION.
We know RC puts his money where his mouth is. The idea that he just sold, left a bunch of his loyal followers holding the bag, only to continue to get eviscerated and eventually wiped out, without saying a single word… is also not logical. Not on any level. He has nothing to gain. It’s not in his character. He’s not going to just lay down and take, even if option a didn’t work. He’s principled and this is about more than money - and he wouldn’t hang you out to dry. Not with his, and his father’s, legacy on the line.
A lot of ways this could go
Again, I’m not here to tell you I’m right. The way this is set up though, we just don’t know the scope of it. I personally believe we’re going to lose our minds once those bricks start clickin’.
I’m not here to tell you that Gamestop is going to acquire Dream on Me who bought the baby IP. I really don’t know, there’s provisions in docket 1314 Section 2.7(a) that allow for all the contracts to be transferred back to the seller - in this case towel - which I speculate to be teddy. Maybe Gamestop is going to buy just gaming companies, and then Teddy is going to launch and buy Dream On Me. Again, I can only speculate - but this feels big. There’s been a ton of DD done on the other stock that is worth reading. The DD on GME shouldn’t be done either, and I hope this post helped you understand some of the possibilities.
Moon soon, but actually.
​
TLDR
​
  • Gamestop filed their updated Credit Agreement today as part of their 10-Q. This details the terms of the loan, agreed upon by lenders (Wells Fargo giving the lending the money, and WF, JPM, & BoA are helping administrate) to Gamestop (lead plan administrators/holders of the loan). I.e., Gamestop decides where the money goes assuming certain conditions are met.
  • According to the terms of the agreement, it appears that Gamestop is gearing up to be part of at least one - possibly multiple - joint ventures. You take this against what has been speculated in the past and things start to fit better.
  • There are many paths to successful mergers listed in this agreement. It doesn’t have specifics for now, we can only speculate. However, there is plenty of room for them to fill in the blanks whenever they’re ready. Everything else here is good to go, they just need to pull the trigger.
  • If Teddy is going to be a financial holding company, I speculate based around facts from filings with some drawing conclusions, how Teddy could go public and how it fits in with GME’s M&A activity.
  • It’s 9:30 in the morning. I literally haven’t slept and will update this TLDR to be more robust tomorrow, plus add / fix anything y’all drop in the comments.

2023.08.13 15:18 recclure Question about reliability rating and sick days

Hey, I just started working at the Macy's near me. The second week on the job I got sick and tried to get in contact with my manager(my coworker ended up giving me a phone number), it was the wrong one. I then called the store number and did a recorded call out using the automated machine. I was thinking everything was good until I came back in to work and they pulled me into the office, thinking i did a no call, no show. The manager said he didn't get any messages from when I called out using the store number(I don't know why because when I called out it asked me for my employee ID and my last four of my social). I explained to him how I texted the number and he said they're going to give me the benefir out doubt and move forward. It felt like they were putting the blame on me when nobody explained to me how to call out( he told me in the meeting to use Insite online too).
Fast forward to yesterday, I log in to see my schedule and the reliability rating thing pops up. I ask the manager he said he will go over my reliability with me but ti click accept on both days. Now my reliability is in red and he told me in the meeting that if I call out another day, they will have to terminate me(because i woukd be calling out 3 times in a span of 90 days). I just had a question about reliability and sick days, when I clicked accept, a thing said that protected time off(sick days) doesn't affect your reliability score so im kinda confused. Do you have to plan sick days ahead in Insite and I'm still kinda confused about reliability.

​
We have this article from the Arizona Daily Sun, “A day in space: Look no further than Flagstaff for your cosmos-themed day trip.,” which will start you off on a caffeinated start from Macy’s European Coffee House to head over to the Meteor Crater, then to the Barringer Space Museum, then to Sunset Crater, and Cinder Lake Crater Fields, followed by an evening at Lowell Observatory and possibly a stop at Dark Sky Brewing along the way!
Not to be shown up, the Matador Network ran this fantastic piece, “11 Dark Sky Airbnbs in Utah Perfect for Stargazing.” You can choose from a beautiful convertible A-frame house complete with plenty of windows and a hot tub, to you know, indulge in your starry sky experience. Or how about this, a two-bedroom mountain getaway with a roof deck for enjoying the milky way?! Or what about an earthen home near Goosenecks State Park and the Rainbow Bridge National Monument?
I’m sure if the night sky doesn’t shock and awe you, the cleaning fees on those AirBnbs most certainly will!
But wait, there’s more!
Have you ever wanted to find the perfect stargazing campsite? I know I always want to! Well, you’re in luck! HipCamp is unveiling their “Dark Sky Map” overlay for campers who are looking for just that, the darkest places to camp!
And not to belabor the point, but it really does feel like we’re in the middle of a huge Astro-tourism trend. A new Survey finds increase in first-time Big Bend visitors,” and “most are now staying outside the park.” This one comes to us from Travis Bubenik of Marfa Public Radio.
It’s boomtime at Big Bend, whereby 70% of respondents to a survey, preferred to stay outside the park, bringing a spike in short-term rentals with them. The spike is so high that it has local officials scared that they can’t keep track of all of the new rentals!
What’s driving this boom? A “standout data point,” stargazing!
“We’ve been saying for years now that our starry skies are a hugely important part of the Big Bend experience, and we have good data to back that up,” per Sara Allen Colando, a Brester County Commissioner.
Big Bend gained the International Dark Sky Reserve designation in 2022 with the hopes of boosting tourism.
Well, Scott, this next one will definitely ring true to you. “2 Million Acres, 8 Forests, It’s all in the Pennsylvania Wilds.” From Brian Whipkey of Go Erie.
I can truly say, some of my favorite memories of this neck of the woods include backpacking down the West Rim Trail in the fall or backpacking the Black Forest Trail in a monsoon. But there’s also the Forest Cathedral at Cook Forest, I know just south of here in the Hammersly Wild Area, there’s some remaining old growth that we visited last year.
Then of course, if you’re not a hunter, nearly everyone in Pennsylvania is, if not familiar personally with it, seems to generally know of it, Cherry Springs State Park, where we are today. And that’s ok, even if Whipkey doesn’t truly understand the purpose of “red lights,” as they’re not to eliminate light pollution, but rather provide visibility without eroding night vision.
Scott, what has been the DCNR’s take on Cherry Springs? Does the state view this as a flagship park? Other states, namely West Virginia, appear to be going all in on marketing their dark skies. Do skies at all resonate with Harrisburg?
Our next article, well it’s really a one-hour video, comes to us from PBS. The video, “Northern Nights, Starry Skies,” begins with Travis Novitsky, of the Grand Portage Reservation, connecting the brilliance of the night sky, a feeling I think we’ve all felt, with something few of us have felt, Native American heritage and spirituality.
According to the video, constellations are a way of having the “stars connect us between the physical world and the spiritual world.”
For instance, the Dakota (Lakota) tribes recognize what contemporary mythology calls “the Big Dipper” as the Seven Star Fire Nations of the Dakota/Lakota people. The Dakota people built burial mounds by rivers to aid the deceased in ascending to the river in the sky, what we would call, “The Milky Way.” And further, the cottonwood tree, complete with its white cotton, bridges the gap between the earth and the stars.
I don’t want to ruin this video for you. I highly recommend that you watch this film. Just a teaser, those burial mounts I just spoke about, well they can be used to accurately predict eclipses every 18-19 years. And the constellation Pegasus is really a moose!
Is lighting the night up under the guise of safety and vanity a worthy reason to extinguish cultural night sky heritage?
Staying with the spiritual connection, an interesting piece from Concurrently: The News Coach Podcast from WORLD Radio and God’s WORLD News, an Evangelical Christian network, “Light Pollution and Creation Care.”
I don’t know about you guys, but I found that Kelsey Reed and Jonathan Boes did a wonderful job objectively evaluating the topic of Light Pollution. Namely, in regard to how a Christian should view and understand the situation.
In this podcast, the hosts utilize the SOAR method – Survey, Observing, Analysis, and Response, to deconstruct the issue of light pollution from a Christian standpoint. One of the biggest takeaways I found came down to how one should respond, namely “love of neighbor, and also love of the world,” suggesting personal responsibility for installing lighting fixtures that spread light trespass into your neighbor’s property.
There are a lot of takeaways in their episode, but the main takeaway is an ecological and spiritual (in this case Christian) connection to the world that God (or the prior piece, the Creator), created.
Ok, moving to some quick hits.
Keeping with the cultural-religious theme, the Maori New Year rises this July. The new year occurs when Matariki (known in Western societies as Pleadies), rises during the first new moon. Not to add confusion, but the brightest star of Matariki is also called Matariki, the mother of the other stars in the cluster. See New Zealanders to Celebrate Maori New Year in July.
And returning back to Minnesota for a second, according to Dan Kraker of MPR, DNR to rewrite mining rules to prevent noise and light pollution in Boundary Waters. The key takeaway here being that, among other issues at hand, the MN Department of Natural Resources will be writing new guidance regarding noise and light pollution for mining activities in the area.
Hey, did you hear? South Tahoe is beginning work to make lights “Dark Sky Compliant.” Kevin Sheridan of KOLO 8. The city plans to update 214 light fixtures along US 50 into 2200 Kelvin LED fixtures.
I’ve stated previously that now is the most innovative time ever for car headlights. Audi plans to take this to the next level by installing OLED rear lights complete with four different rear light signatures to choose from.
OLEDs, not just for my laptop apparently!
Here’s something that affects rural America! New Study Shows Urban Lighting Disrupts Rural Insects, Louise Fabiani from Sierra.
This is similar to a study we reported a couple of months back. In short, very low – even what we would consider dim levels of light, appeared to affect moth dormancy.
Fabiani goes on to point out that insects historically appeared in “large, conspicuous groups, such as clouds of mosquitoes or midges on a hot summer night.” And that simply isn’t the case anymore.
The insect apocalypse is causing declines up the food web in swallows and flycatchers. Insects also aid plant life by regulating pests and nutrient cycles.
Fabiani notes that there are places trying to minimize light’s impact on the insect population, namely dark-sky communities.
One such example of this comes to us from another article, Sustainable Landscapes Sustainable Places Dark Skies Project, whereby Lisa Baker of the Welsh Business News & News from Wales describes eight “designated landscape” areas that are all working jointly to reduce light pollution with the explicit goal to benefit biodiversity.
Scott, this feels like something in your wheelhouse. What’s the temperature of the DCNR on light pollution being an actual pollutant?
Research Article of the Month: Global disruption of coral broadcast spawning associated with artificial light at night from Nature Communications.
Man, in the 21st Century, corals get no relief!
In contrast to a prior study, “Breakdown in Spawning Synchrony,” it’s been found that light pollution, not solely water temperature, appears to trigger early spawning in coral. In the study, it’s found that corals may be spawning between one to three days closer to the full moon in coastal areas with artificial light at night. Essentially, ALAN disrupts the timing of reproduction, further reducing the probability of fertilization and survival. It’s surmised that Artificial Light at Night may confuse coral by mimicking the full moon.
The study itself appears to be the first step to better understanding ALAN’s role in coral reproduction. It recognizes that further research is needed to directly parse out the cause and effect of ALAN versus spawning timetables, and suggests greater understanding is needed on the viability of reproduction under ALAN.
A few more quick hits this month.
Don’t sweat the numbers on the street lights. Evidently, there’s a meme going around telling folks that the street light numbers are mRNA codes. No, unfortunately, they are not.
You gotta love this. Very cool news out of Chaffee County Colorado.
Vicki Genfan, of Guitar Player Magazine fame, performed to help generate buzz around the Friends of Browns Canyon’s work to ascertain a Dark Sky Park certification. Genfan plans to compile a new album “inspired by and recorded in” national monuments, including Browns Canyon.
A new housing development in Rennington, England has residents fuming. They fear the new development, which initially planned to install five streetlights, will ruin the rustic character and dark skies of Rennington, a village in the Northeast of England.
Per Sarah Darling in the article, “The number of street lights collectively…deny all residents a dark sky for which Northumberland is renowned.” However, some regulatory entanglements may see the street lights installed much to the chagrin of residents.
Ph.D. candidate Emma Louden wants other astrophysicists to cross-pollinate with the space industry. Louden presents the case via a blog article in Astrobites. We all know that the space economy is just warming up. Among her justification, skill and scientific interest alignments seem like a no-brainer crossover. One thing Exoplanet Emma didn’t discuss was the impact of satellites on earth-based astronomy. Louden gives the impression that astronomers do not natively interface outside of their discipline, which if true, looks to be the root cause of some of the Low Earth Orbit business proposals we’re seeing as of late.
There are two places in the world you can see a moonbow and this KY state park is one. Have you ever heard of a moonbow? This is pretty cool! There are only a handful of places in the world where you can see these. Those being Victoria Falls, the Isle of Skye, Hawaii, and, I bet you wouldn’t have guessed, Kentucky.
Moonbows form much the same way as a rainbow, just fainter due to the moon’s reflective light. Moonbows only occur on the three days around the full moon. Due to this faintness, a camera is necessary in order to extract full saturation.
So there you have it Daylon, make your next mission a trip to Cumberland Falls State Resort Park.
Moving on. This next one comes to us from Martin Greenacre of the Connexion, “French towns introduce ‘smart’ street lights which locals can turn on.”
Now this is really interesting. In France, energy conservation has led municipalities to turn off street lights at night. Many folks expressed feelings of insecurity without the street light. To remedy both the feeling of safety and the town’s need to save money, Olivier Bozzetto [Oliviee Bozzet-to] devised a compromise allowing individual users to activate street lights for 15 minutes at a time based on their GPS location.
Is this truly smart lighting at its best? Or do either of you foresee pending problems with it?
Western Washington University is saying ugly decorative lighting, hello practical ecological friendly lighting.
WWU used to have ballooning amber streetlights line its walkways. No more. Whereas before, light shot out aimlessly, the new top LED fixtures angle and aim the light directly where it’s needed – on roadways and paths. The lights will use warmer temperatures, I was not able to ascertain the actual temperature prior to this show. The fixtures are ‘Dark Sky Compliant.’ The administration appears to be valuing a lighting changeover on how it impacts both the night sky and ecology.
This story will lead us into our next one. But before we get to that, let’s review what is actually happening.
Western Washington University recognized it was time to convert to LEDs. Instead of doing what many communities did, and that was to not enter into the first and brightest contact, they saw an opportunity to reimagine lighting that was both sustainable and suited the perceived needs of the student body.
I say perceived, because often times on the issue of street lights, both ends of the debate appear to take the middle hostage.
Before I open this one up, let’s look at our Afraid of the Dark piece – a piece from Woroni, a news source discussing the going ons at Australia National University. “THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL DOESN’T WORK: INVESTIGATING ANU’S STREET LIGHTING”
This piece written by Raida Chowdhury, a student at Australian National University, illustrates what happens when we let fear run wild. Basing everything on the 2019 University of Chicago Crime Labs Study, “Reducing Crime Through Environmental Design: Evidence from a Randomized Experiment of Street Lighting in New York City,” the solution to all violent crimes must be Light!!
Now clearly the situation at ANU is not working for the students, especially any arriving home late. One student raised the concern after walking down a dimly lit street, “I can make out a person’s shape from a distance. But I cannot [distinguish] their features like clothes, face, or even if they are carrying something, until I get close to them.”
One of the routes uses motion-sensor lights, which the author, Chowdhury, feared would lead students to take longer routes back as they evidently did not know there were motion-sensing lights.
Security was of course the main theme – correlating lighting as the sole prevention of crime and fear on campus.
One student claimed to never see security patrols on their walk. The school does have a 24/7 escort service to help and assist students who feel threatened or in jeopardy.
Now Chowdhury is a student, I’m presuming. And I hope to god she has never experienced anything to the level of what she insinuates regularly happens without light. However, maybe we can take a step back from the ledge here.
Western Washington was able to address student concerns AND protect the ecology, night sky, and environment. Would that be a workable solution at ANU? Would that pacify even an excited and fearful student journalist?
Lastly, if you’re in search of a natural nighttime experience, you don’t have to come to the US or go to Australia, the UK, or the English-speaking world! Check this out! India’s First Astro-Reserve in Ladakh, honestly looks like such a cool experience. The Reserve sits in Changthang Wildlife Sanctuary….and these photos of the milky way are breathtaking!

2023.05.02 01:35 adventurepaul What's new in e-commerce? - Week of May 1st, 2023

Hi ShopifyeCommerce - I'm Paul and I follow the e-commerce industry closely for my Shopifreaks E-commerce Newsletter. Each week I post a summary recap of this week's top stories, which I cover in depth in the newsletter. .
  1. STAT OF THE WEEK: E-commerce in Italy was worth €75.89B in 2022, up 18.6% YoY. However most of that growth was caused by price increases. – According to EcommerceNews.eu .
  2. Shopify introduced a new tool for merchants to manage and pay vendors within the Shopify admin. The new Shopify Bill Pay is powered by Melio, an Israeli-based B2B payments and bill pay service, and is available to US merchants at no additional cost other than payment processing fees on some payment methods. .
  3. Harry McCracken of Fast Company famously wrote in February why he wasn't leaving Twitter — yet. (A post which is mysteriously missing from Fast Company's website this morning.) However now he's starting to change his tune a little, and although he says he's still not leaving Twitter, he's gotten, in his words, “more serious about looking for the exit door.” He published his initial observations about six of the most popular Twitter alternatives including Mastodon, Post, T2, Bluesky, Nostr, and Substack Notes. .
  4. Pinterest and Amazon have entered into a multi-year strategic ad partnership aimed at bringing more brands and relevant products to its platform, marking Pinterest's first partner on third-party ads. Pinterest noted that the implementation of Amazon ads will take place over multiple quarters, starting later this year. So you won't suddenly be overrun with Amazon ads on the platform tomorrow (like you currently are on Amazon's search results). .
  5. Shein announced that it's localizing its manufacturing in Latin America by creating a hub in Brazil. The company will invest $148.9M in building a new network in the country, partnering with 2,000 manufacturers, and creating 100k new jobs in Latin America. Shein aims to source 85% of the products it sells in the region locally by 2026, which should help the company shed its reputation for its unsustainable mass manufacturing. .
  6. Alphabet reported in its latest earnings that YouTube saw ad revenue fall 2.6% YoY as advertisers pulled back from the platform due to economic uncertainty. YouTube brought in $6.69B in ad revenue for Q1 2023 versus $6.87B during the same period last year, marking the third quarter in a row that YouTube's ad revenue decreased. Now let me ask this… Is it “economic uncertainty” or “advertisers shifting budget to TikTok” that's caused the three consecutive declines? Because TikTok's ad revenue has grown exponentially YoY since 2019 from $340M (2019) to $18.04B (projected 2023). .
  7. Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in New Jersey with plans to shut down. The jobs of thousands of employees — and their retirement savings and severance pay — are on the line. BB&B will use the court process to begin liquidating its 360 Bed Bath & Beyond stores and 120 Buy Buy Baby locations, while also searching for a buyer for its estimated $4.4B in assets, which are shadowed by its $5.2B in debt. The company's current CFO, Holly Etlin, will serve as chief restructuring officer to manage the bankruptcy. .
  8. India's commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal made it clear at ONDC's Enabling Bharat 2.0 event last week that India will use the “full force of the government” to promote the adoption of ONDC, and cautioned e-commerce giants that failing to join the initiative within the stipulated time frame may result in withdrawal of the offer. The minister warned that at some stage “we will also have to cut off those who are left behind.” Additionally, Goyal warned e-commerce platforms that they better bring their MAIN platform to the network, or they'll be removed from ONDC, as some companies were trying to side-step the requirement by creating separate ONDC-specific websites. .
  9. Surprisingly I learned that Bed Bath & Beyond accounted for 1.4% of overall houseware / home furnishings in the U.S. in 2022. That's more than I would've guessed! Now that BB&B went bankrupt and is closing down its stores, where will shoppers go for their houseware and home furnishings needs? DigitalCommerce360 surveyed BB&B shoppers and asked where they will go instead. Answers included: Amazon (68%), Target (58%), Walmart (48%), Home Goods (34%), At Home (12%), Macy’s (10%), Wayfair (5%), Crate & Barrel (3%), Williams-Sonoma (3%), Overstock (2%), Nordstrom (2%). .
  10. Walmart is giving away 20,000 Walmart+ memberships to mothers who give birth to children in May, in its latest strategy to catch up to Amazon Prime. The $2M giveaway is in partnership with the Pampers Hospital Gift Program, which provides a gift bag for patients who have recently delivered a baby. .
  11. Criteo, a commerce media company, entered into the next phase of its integration with Shopify, allowing U.S. merchants to access new self-registration capabilities via the Criteo Commerce Growth Platform. Criteo and Shopify have collaborated since 2018, and last year Criteo saw a 36% YoY increase in the number of new Shopify merchants on its network. Last year Criteo became a Shopify “Certified App Partner” and joined the first-ever Shopify Advertising Technology cohort, and is now awaiting a Shopify Audiences partnership. .
  12. Shopify employees are fearful that more layoffs are on the horizon after some in-person events were cancelled ahead of earnings. The company's latest performance reviews are due early next month, and leadership told workers in the fall that it planned to change how it evaluated employees' performance. .
  13. Speaking of Shopify employees, a leaked document outlined the company's plan to use targeted “unorthodox” methods to find new hires as the company looks to become more efficient. The document said that Shopify purposely limited the number of positions it plans to hire for the year and that recruiters need to raise the bar for the quality of candidates they bring to the company. .
  14. Meta is resuming hiring for select roles this month including in areas like AI, VR, making their ads better, and improving the technology behind their apps, and is also planning on being more selective about their hires The company's first round of 11,000 layoffs took place in November 2022, followed by the second round of 10,000 layoffs in March 2023. .
  15. Twitter is planning to enable publishers to charge per-article to bypass paywalls within the app, as opposed to subscribing to various publications. Past experiments have found that this model leads to a net loss for publishers versus the subscription system, although it's never been tried with an existing userbase as large as Twitter's. Last year I shared an idea of mine for a GoFundMe style news publication paywall system, where an article becomes free to view for everyone once it reaches its revenue goal. I'd be more likely to make a micro-payment to read an article if it meant allowing others to read it as well once it hit its collective paywall goal. .
  16. Amazon is expanding its B2B division, Amazon Business, in Europe (which countries tbd), by investing in its logistics to supply European businesses with office supplies in bulk. Amazon Business grew its gross sales in Europe at a compound annual rate of 25% from 2020 to 2022, currently active in Germany, Britain, Italy, Spain, and France. .
  17. Temu is also expanding to European markets beginning with France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Spain, and the U.K. Previously Temu has been available to the U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, where its GMV grew from $3M in Sep to $192M in January. .
  18. The African Development Fund and Smart Africa Alliance have jointly launched a $1.5M project to streamline digital trade and e-commerce policies across 10 African countries. Called the Institutional Support for Digital Payments and e-Commerce Policies for Cross-Border Trade Project (IDECT), the project will evaluate policy gaps in the digital trade and e-commerce ecosystems and implement regional training and capacity-building programs. .
  19. UPS warned of persistent pressure on parcel volumes, signaling a delayed recovery in volumes for the shipping industry that was expecting some relief by the end of the year. UPS has been managing costs better than FedEx, despite having a unionized workforce, and has benefited from a strong focus on moving high-margin parcels. .
  20. Nykaa, an India-based fashion and beauty platform, appointed P. Ganesh as their new CFO and Rajesh Uppalapati as CTO. Ganesh brings 27 years of experience having served a CFO across companies like TAFE Group, Pidilite Industries, and more, and Uppalapati has worked at Amazon for 20 years across different roles, and more recently at Intuit. .
  21. Amazon is shutting down its Amazon Halo division, which sells health and sleep trackers, as it kicks off another round of layoffs. It will stop supporting Amazon Halo services from July 31, 2023, and will completely refund Halo device purchases made in the previous 12 months. .
  22. Meta launched a new video series that aims to address myths and misconceptions that creators may have about Facebook, and their potential opportunities in the app. At the same time Instagram launched a new prompt to help brands source relevant UGC in the app. .
  23. TikTok is currently working with a selected group of creators on a new program that connects brands to influencer content, by enabling participating creators to post videos based on a brand brief. The initiative provides a way for brands to get better, native TikTok content, as well as another monetization pathway for top influencers in the app. .
  24. Klarna is redesigning its app, adding a TikTok-esque discovery feed powered by AI, customized shops for social media content creators, and the ability to sell secondhand goods. Klarna said that its new design will help users find items they want by using advanced AI recommendation algorithms, while helping merchants target customers more effectively. .
  25. Squarespace's in-house creative team launched its new Australian brand campaign that tells the story of local legend Harry, who swapped his stool at the local pub for a thriving business on Squarespace.

  28. Data shows that massive taxpayer-financed subsidies for Amazon in the name of job creation have been ineffective, and the ROI for Amazon subsidies has been dismal. Between 2000 and 2022, Amazon has received more than $5B in subsidies as part of deals with communities to build fulfillment centers. The money would have been better spent on providing local jobs through community improvement projects. .
  29. Nigerians who have been blackmailed by loan apps are plotting revenge in Facebook groups to avoid repaying loans from lending platforms after being “debt-shamed” and harassed by the companies. One lender, Soko Loan, went as far as sending messages to everyone in a borrower's contact list, telling them he was wanted for refusing to pay back a $54.29 loan! .
  30. PSCU launched a solution that helps credit unions implement BNPL, including the ability for post-purchase credit card transactions to be converted into installment payments. The solution also helps credit unions promote their credit card as the card of choice for its members interested in BNPL. .
  31. Klaviyo and Square partnered up to deliver more personalized customer experiences, including the ability for businesses to automatically send messages based on channel engagement, profile, or event data and predictive analytics to reach the right customers at the right time. Last year Shopify made a $100M strategic investment in Klaviyo, making Klaviyo the recommended e-mail solution partner for Shopify Plus. .
  32. Reddit hired former Meta exec Jim Squires in a newly created role of EVP of business marketing and growth. With the appointment of Squires, Reddit will be uniting the product and marketing team, responsible for listening to marketer needs and working with engineers to create new ad products, and the business marketing team, which handles outbound efforts. Good luck finding ads that Reddit users like! .
  33. Customers are spotting fake reviews on Amazon that were written with ChatGPT or other generative AI tools. In most cases, the dead giveaway was that the reviews started with, “As an AI language model.” .
  34. Frasers Group, the parent company of Sports Direct, unveiled plans to grow its presence in Europe with the launch of its BNPL platform, Frasers Plus. CEO Michael Murray said that their sportswear and equpiment operation is the most scalable of the group's retail models, which “doesn't really exist in Europe.” .
  35. Twitter is loosening its limits on cannabis industry advertising, now allowing vetted state-legal businesses to show packaged products in their marketing campaigns while allowing ads in new U.S. markets. Certified cannabis advertisers can also continue responsibly linking to their owned and operated web page and e-commerce stores for cannabis-related products and services. .
  36. Splitit unveiled its new “super-fast” BNPL payment experience called SplititExpress, pledging an under two seconds checkout while supporting payments via Apple Pay and Google Pay, compared to one to two minutes on average for what they say “even the fastest legacy BNPL’s offer.” One to two minutes feels like a bit of an exaggeration, especially for established customers of a BNPL firm, but I've never used BNPL so maybe I'm wrong. .
  37. Meta rolled out new updates for its digital avatars, including an expanded range of body shapes, improved animations, new clothing options, and more. The company hopes these changes will help users feel more attuned to their digital avatars. Just what everyone always wanted — fat avatars!

2023.05.02 01:34 adventurepaul E-commerce Industry News - Week of May 1st, 2023

Hi ecommerce - I'm Paul and I follow the e-commerce industry pretty closely for my Shopifreaks E-commerce Newsletter. Each week I post a summary recap of this week's top stories, which I cover in depth in the newsletter.
.
  1. STAT OF THE WEEK: E-commerce in Italy was worth €75.89B in 2022, up 18.6% YoY. However most of that growth was caused by price increases. – According to EcommerceNews.eu .
  2. Shopify introduced a new tool for merchants to manage and pay vendors within the Shopify admin. The new Shopify Bill Pay is powered by Melio, an Israeli-based B2B payments and bill pay service, and is available to US merchants at no additional cost other than payment processing fees on some payment methods. .
  3. Harry McCracken of Fast Company famously wrote in February why he wasn't leaving Twitter — yet. (A post which is mysteriously missing from Fast Company's website this morning.) However now he's starting to change his tune a little, and although he says he's still not leaving Twitter, he's gotten, in his words, “more serious about looking for the exit door.” He published his initial observations about six of the most popular Twitter alternatives including Mastodon, Post, T2, Bluesky, Nostr, and Substack Notes. .
  4. Pinterest and Amazon have entered into a multi-year strategic ad partnership aimed at bringing more brands and relevant products to its platform, marking Pinterest's first partner on third-party ads. Pinterest noted that the implementation of Amazon ads will take place over multiple quarters, starting later this year. So you won't suddenly be overrun with Amazon ads on the platform tomorrow (like you currently are on Amazon's search results). .
  5. Shein announced that it's localizing its manufacturing in Latin America by creating a hub in Brazil. The company will invest $148.9M in building a new network in the country, partnering with 2,000 manufacturers, and creating 100k new jobs in Latin America. Shein aims to source 85% of the products it sells in the region locally by 2026, which should help the company shed its reputation for its unsustainable mass manufacturing. .
  6. Alphabet reported in its latest earnings that YouTube saw ad revenue fall 2.6% YoY as advertisers pulled back from the platform due to economic uncertainty. YouTube brought in $6.69B in ad revenue for Q1 2023 versus $6.87B during the same period last year, marking the third quarter in a row that YouTube's ad revenue decreased. Now let me ask this… Is it “economic uncertainty” or “advertisers shifting budget to TikTok” that's caused the three consecutive declines? Because TikTok's ad revenue has grown exponentially YoY since 2019 from $340M (2019) to $18.04B (projected 2023). .
  7. Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in New Jersey with plans to shut down. The jobs of thousands of employees — and their retirement savings and severance pay — are on the line. BB&B will use the court process to begin liquidating its 360 Bed Bath & Beyond stores and 120 Buy Buy Baby locations, while also searching for a buyer for its estimated $4.4B in assets, which are shadowed by its $5.2B in debt. The company's current CFO, Holly Etlin, will serve as chief restructuring officer to manage the bankruptcy. .
  8. India's commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal made it clear at ONDC's Enabling Bharat 2.0 event last week that India will use the “full force of the government” to promote the adoption of ONDC, and cautioned e-commerce giants that failing to join the initiative within the stipulated time frame may result in withdrawal of the offer. The minister warned that at some stage “we will also have to cut off those who are left behind.” Additionally, Goyal warned e-commerce platforms that they better bring their MAIN platform to the network, or they'll be removed from ONDC, as some companies were trying to side-step the requirement by creating separate ONDC-specific websites. .
  9. Surprisingly I learned that Bed Bath & Beyond accounted for 1.4% of overall houseware / home furnishings in the U.S. in 2022. That's more than I would've guessed! Now that BB&B went bankrupt and is closing down its stores, where will shoppers go for their houseware and home furnishings needs? DigitalCommerce360 surveyed BB&B shoppers and asked where they will go instead. Answers included: Amazon (68%), Target (58%), Walmart (48%), Home Goods (34%), At Home (12%), Macy’s (10%), Wayfair (5%), Crate & Barrel (3%), Williams-Sonoma (3%), Overstock (2%), Nordstrom (2%). .
  10. Walmart is giving away 20,000 Walmart+ memberships to mothers who give birth to children in May, in its latest strategy to catch up to Amazon Prime. The $2M giveaway is in partnership with the Pampers Hospital Gift Program, which provides a gift bag for patients who have recently delivered a baby. .
  11. Criteo, a commerce media company, entered into the next phase of its integration with Shopify, allowing U.S. merchants to access new self-registration capabilities via the Criteo Commerce Growth Platform. Criteo and Shopify have collaborated since 2018, and last year Criteo saw a 36% YoY increase in the number of new Shopify merchants on its network. Last year Criteo became a Shopify “Certified App Partner” and joined the first-ever Shopify Advertising Technology cohort, and is now awaiting a Shopify Audiences partnership. .
  12. Shopify employees are fearful that more layoffs are on the horizon after some in-person events were cancelled ahead of earnings. The company's latest performance reviews are due early next month, and leadership told workers in the fall that it planned to change how it evaluated employees' performance. .
  13. Speaking of Shopify employees, a leaked document outlined the company's plan to use targeted “unorthodox” methods to find new hires as the company looks to become more efficient. The document said that Shopify purposely limited the number of positions it plans to hire for the year and that recruiters need to raise the bar for the quality of candidates they bring to the company. .
  14. Meta is resuming hiring for select roles this month including in areas like AI, VR, making their ads better, and improving the technology behind their apps, and is also planning on being more selective about their hires The company's first round of 11,000 layoffs took place in November 2022, followed by the second round of 10,000 layoffs in March 2023. .
  15. Twitter is planning to enable publishers to charge per-article to bypass paywalls within the app, as opposed to subscribing to various publications. Past experiments have found that this model leads to a net loss for publishers versus the subscription system, although it's never been tried with an existing userbase as large as Twitter's. Last year I shared an idea of mine for a GoFundMe style news publication paywall system, where an article becomes free to view for everyone once it reaches its revenue goal. I'd be more likely to make a micro-payment to read an article if it meant allowing others to read it as well once it hit its collective paywall goal. .
  16. Amazon is expanding its B2B division, Amazon Business, in Europe (which countries tbd), by investing in its logistics to supply European businesses with office supplies in bulk. Amazon Business grew its gross sales in Europe at a compound annual rate of 25% from 2020 to 2022, currently active in Germany, Britain, Italy, Spain, and France. .
  17. Temu is also expanding to European markets beginning with France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Spain, and the U.K. Previously Temu has been available to the U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, where its GMV grew from $3M in Sep to $192M in January. .
  18. The African Development Fund and Smart Africa Alliance have jointly launched a $1.5M project to streamline digital trade and e-commerce policies across 10 African countries. Called the Institutional Support for Digital Payments and e-Commerce Policies for Cross-Border Trade Project (IDECT), the project will evaluate policy gaps in the digital trade and e-commerce ecosystems and implement regional training and capacity-building programs. .
  19. UPS warned of persistent pressure on parcel volumes, signaling a delayed recovery in volumes for the shipping industry that was expecting some relief by the end of the year. UPS has been managing costs better than FedEx, despite having a unionized workforce, and has benefited from a strong focus on moving high-margin parcels. .
  20. Nykaa, an India-based fashion and beauty platform, appointed P. Ganesh as their new CFO and Rajesh Uppalapati as CTO. Ganesh brings 27 years of experience having served a CFO across companies like TAFE Group, Pidilite Industries, and more, and Uppalapati has worked at Amazon for 20 years across different roles, and more recently at Intuit. .
  21. Amazon is shutting down its Amazon Halo division, which sells health and sleep trackers, as it kicks off another round of layoffs. It will stop supporting Amazon Halo services from July 31, 2023, and will completely refund Halo device purchases made in the previous 12 months. .

2023.03.30 23:39 manu08 Has anyone successfully filed a lost baggage insurance claim?

Iberia lost a checked bag, and is reimbursing a portion of the loss (their max is $1,600, the bag + goods is worth a bit over $2,000).
I paid for the flight with Amex Plat, and I started their claims process with the hopes that they'd cover the rest. The question I have, is whether this is worth the trouble?
I ask because Iberia was simple, I gave them a list of the items with links to where I would buy them to be replaced, they reimbursed me, end of story.
Amex is surprisingly painful. I filled out a terrible online form item by item thinking that was it. All that did was cause them to send me more PDF forms which ask for all the same information. It looks like they demand original receipts for every item that was lost. I mean, some items are like nice shirts I got from Macy's 4 years ago, I don't have the receipt.
I tried to call them a couple times, but the baggage claim team is not like the rest of Amex support. It's clearly some outsourced operation, the phone connections are terrible and the staff are unable to answer questions beyond reading the terms verbatim.
Has anyone gone through this process? My current read is that since I don't have receipts for everything, Amex is going to tell me Iberia already covered the things with receipts, and there's nothing else they can do. Or they'll at least apply a bunch of depreciation assumptions at me that'll make it zero anyway. I don't want to spend another 2 hours filling out this paperwork and uploading documents to this 1995 website if it's going to be a waste of time.
Edit:
Alright, I went through the process. The net outcome was fine and faster than I expected, though the transparency was mediocre. To sum it up, here was the process:
  1. Submit online form to Amex, that included adding item-by-item with merchant, replacement price, etc. They ask for UPC/Serial for the item, but I just put a direct link to the replacement item myself.
  2. I got a follow-up email a few days later that felt like a restart (hence this original post): with a worse process. It included a PDF to fill out that requires repeating all information from step 1, in a less clear format, plus it asks for more documentation around existing airline claim/settlement, etc. I filled out most of the PDF, but included a separate excel file (which had to be uploaded as a PDF) that listed the inventory. All-in-all, it was like 30 documents (lots of receipts). The upload portal was terrible, it took me over 20 tries (seriously) to get past the captcha and you have to upload 1 document at a time, and it's quite slow. It felt like using an old activeX website.
  3. It only took a couple days to get a claim result, which was a terse PDF letter. It told me I'd get ~$800 in the form of a statement credit. It's honestly more than I expected (I figured they'd push hard on used-market replacement values and other tactics to drive it down).
The process was repetitive and a bit annoying, but I'm glad there wasn't more back and forth on matching up receipts or whatever.
One obvious gap is that when the airline loses your bag, they reimburse you for two different things:
  1. incidentals during the trip (what you have to buy while traveling to get by)
  2. The actual value of the bag and contents
For Iberia, this is reimbursed both as a single lump sum. Amex subtracted this lump sum from their "approved value" for the bag contents, which isn't quite right (I had explained this in my claim).
Also, their "approved value" was ~$400 less than my inventory, but they didn't explain the gap. I'm guessing they ignored some of the items that didn't have a receipt and might've found some similar items on sale.
