I have heard of a few people being laid off, just curious if there is any news on more layoffs, or buyouts, before the sale is final?

When you read that we're going to have the worst year since 2022 you know we're about to see a correction. There are a few ways to achieve that, including canceling shows and laying people off. I think we'll see both, and it'll be a bloodbath. The golden days of Netflix are over.

Trump is ordering all references to AI in government documents to be changed to SI (super intelligence). So now Optum can become a world leader in SI. I'm sure clinicians will love the new terminology, and Optum leaders will push for more SI in every aspect of the organization!

I last heard that it was being sold.

The San Luis Obispo Tribune has announced it will not be making candidate endorsements for the upcoming election. This decision stems directly from recent significant layoffs within the newspaper's staff. Five journalists, including the opinion editor, were let go as part of broader cuts at McClatchy. The opinion editor confirmed the paper lacks the necessary time and staff to conduct interviews and write endorsements. These layoffs are a consequence of a restructuring plan driven by declining revenue.

It makes me happy that some people in this world are FINALLY starting to wake up to this facade. I've known for for a few years that things weren't going well here, even though management would try to deceive me. It appears that Cramer finally saw the light:

"I can't counsel owning that… Jim Currier is the CEO, and he told Phil LeBeau three times that things were going quite well and they weren't. And I heard they were going quite well and they weren't, and so therefore I have nothing good to say about Honeywell Aerospace".

This excerpt was quoted from this article:

https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/jim-cramer-says-t-counsel-112244525.html

Cramer has nothing good to say about Honeyhell Aerospace? That makes (at least) 2 of us.

that's the news

NEWS: The FCC approved Paramount’s request to allow foreign ownership to exceed the 25% statutory benchmark, clearing a regulatory hurdle tied to its proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD).

In its declaratory ruling, the FCC found that allowing up to 100% aggregate indirect foreign equity ownership of Paramount would serve the public interest, subject to the Commission’s rules and specified conditions.

The FCC specifically approved indirect holdings above 5% for:

• Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund: 15.1%
• UAE entities associated with L’imad: 12.8%
• Qatar’s QIA TMT Holding / Qatar Investment Authority: 10.6%

From the ruling:

“we find that the public interest would be served by permitting indirect foreign equity ownership of Paramount … to exceed the 25% benchmark”

The FCC further found it in the public interest to permit “up to 100% indirect foreign equity interest of Paramount, in the aggregate,” subject to applicable rules, commitments, and conditions.

Athletes are leaving now too!

https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/confirmed-kylian-mbappe-leaves-nike-125000863.html

Kylian Mbappe has ended his long-standing relationship with Nike and joined Swiss sportswear company On in a major move that will see the Real Madrid forward become the face of its expansion into football boots.

The Athletic has revealed that Mbappe agreed to join On after his Nike contract expired this summer.

The financial details remain undisclosed, but the deal includes an equity stake in the Swiss company, giving the 27-year-old an interest beyond a conventional sponsorship arrangement.

The move also sees Mbappe turn down established football boot rivals Adidas and Puma as On attempts to establish itself in a market dominated by the biggest names in sportswear
