Boycotts work, but they won't save the planet
Since October the 7th 2023, masses of people have divested their consumer interest in various brands and companies around the world, due those companies’ links, both implicitly and explicitly to Israel’s Defence Forces (IDF). This Divestment from Consumers is known as “Boycotting” which is the act of protest wherein consumers collectively avoid spending money at those companies in order to impact the shareholder price and force them to change a political stance that they have taken. This ability to influence the value of a company is one of the arguments in favour of the Stock Market, because as the company’s revenue drops, as will their stock price, which will force investors to divest from shares of said companies.

The Marketing of Economics
When we think of Marketing we typically think of the everyday items that get pushed into our psyche's from billboards to much more recently, our "For you" pages on various Social Media platforms. But Marketing is very much so a part of our day to day lives, even within items that we've already bought. The common person would think that once an item is sold, that item doesn't need to do much in the way of upselling anything else but unfortunately, that isn't true.

It’s Black History Month. Top Story - February 2024.
It’s Black History Month. “I don't even know what that means.” I took this previous sentence from a mostly white oriented film, Blades of Glory (2007) that made the phrase ever more popular in the culture. The phrase found its way on a hip hop song with the clean title, “In Paris” by Shawn “JAY Z” Carter and the artist formerly known as Kanye West, Ye.

Political Standings Not Withstanding
A Message of Unity in Modern Political Division Across the United States, the country is divided by political views and beliefs. The level of division that currently exists in 2023, in fact, has not been seen in many decades, maybe even centuries. It could be argued that the USA has not been this divided since the days leading up to the civil war.

President Decrees America is the Most Communist National on Earth
April 11th (Alabaster, AL) – This past Friday, the President of the United States sat down with the largest socialist periodical in America—one that we will refrain from naming in these prestigious pages in order not to lend them any credence and legitimacy. As established during the third day of this administration, the President brought an end to the routine of daily press briefings and regular access to the White House and replaced them with a free-for-all end-of-week one-on-one bonanza. While the leader of the free world was more than happy to spend time with socialists, I would be remiss if I did not point out that the President has still not sat down with yours truly.
