Business, Economics, and Taxes: Capitalism. Yay? >=(

So, my firm's biggest/closest direct competitor announced last week that they're being acquired by Cognizant. A full swallow that theoretically rockets CTS to #2 in the space behind only my previous employer. My reaction to the news and especially the buyer:



I really shouldn't be too smug, but since we already went through an acquisition last year, I feel pretty good about who I chose now.

Interesting that the Hasbro cuts hit Wizards of the Coast finally. Not a good sign to be laying off employees at the only part of the company that is actually profitable. And it’s not like WOTC employees were overpaid, it’s one of the most notoriously underpaying companies in the Seattle area.

Merry Xmas! Hasbro just laid off 1100 people the week of Xmas, heavily focused on art staff.

yes, just use AI

in case you were worried, the ceo got an 8m bonus

Course he did. He cut costs. Big time.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Elon Musk may be held accountable for X (formerly Twitter) devolving into a hellscape. The European Commission on Monday opened multiple investigations into the platform under the bloc’s new social media law.

The Digital Services Act went into effect in Europe in late August. The sweeping new rulebook aims to create safer online environments: Digital platforms are required to prevent and remove posts that contain illegal goods, services, or content. Targeted ads based on sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, or political beliefs are prohibited, and ads targeting children are heavily restricted.

I'm not sure Xitler is even all that exposed if he loses the EU's business. But I don't know; I have no idea how anybody is still on that platform.

There should be a database of the home addresses of CEOs. For the curious.

Say, sending Randy quaid in an RV ?

Let's shorten the commute of the rich.

Yes.

I'll admit that I was kind of shocked at the pump today. Regular price was something like $2.89 and with some holiday rewards promotions it came out to $2.72....

That's a number I haven't seen for a while.

Where are those Biden "I did that," stickers now?

[Handyman]

Yeah with rewards I paid $2.69 the other day...and that was before the price dropped again.

Next you will start to see groceries drop as well because the price gouging was shut down.

Well we all know the Wall Street Journal has a severe liberal bias!
