Amazon just handed tens of thousands of employees a brutal choice: pack your bags or pack it in. And don’t expect a goodbye gift; there’s no severance if you walk. Workers have 30 days to decide if they’ll uproot their lives for corporate hubs like Seattle or Arlington. If not? They’re out. No public memo,…
We finally have an answer to the age-old question: What came first, the egg or a nationwide food safety nightmare? This time, it’s definitely the egg. Over 1.7 million cartons have been recalled across the country after salmonella was found cozying up inside your breakfast staple. And just like that, brunch plans are ruined. The…
The star-crossed relationships between Hollywood movie stars have nothing on the bromance between Donald Trump and Elon Musk. The two billionaires became very close during the 2024 election season as Musk threw his considerable fortune behind both Trump and several other Republican lawmakers.

In the lawsuit, the…
If you’ve ever been to California, there’s a fair chance you’ve come to love the smokey goodness that Armadillo Willy’s offers.

Taco trucks have always been more than rolling restaurants; they are multicolored symbols of immigrant industry and cultural mash-up in America’s urban fabric. But a grim reality lies beneath the sizzling grills and convivial crowds: a national shutdown of taco trucks is happening. It’s not just business failure, but rather an elaborate collapse brought on…
Walmart is retreating from one of its biggest retail gambles: self-checkout. What started out as a bid to be efficient ended in a sneaky withdrawal.

There have already been some major store closures this year, and the economy clearly isn’t finished yet. Soon enough, someone might wake up one morning, head over to their favorite At Home store, and find a closed sign on the door. With over 250 stores across the United States, they quickly became a staple for…
Amazon’s new edict requiring thousands of U.S. corporate employees to relocate to central headquarters in Seattle, Arlington, and Washington, D.C., is more than a change in administration. It comes from more attention to the fear of AI-driven layoffs, and as a strategic move to aggregate groups in person. Employees are only provided 30 days to…
A burger chain suddenly closed down all its outlets in a large U.S. market—leaving diners in shock and employees out of work and confused.

Imagine entering your local Kroger’s and discovering that the doors are permanently closed and the shelves are empty.

While the company has not issued a complete list,…
America’s fast food scene is quietly undergoing a major shake-up. Once-thriving chains are shuttering stores, filing for bankruptcy, and vanishing from the map, often with little warning. Behind the headlines is a deeper story of shifting tastes, economic pressure, and changing values. As more than 1,000 locations close each year, the golden age of fast…
Amazon made a calculated strategic decision when it ordered about 350,000 corporate workers to either resign without receiving severance pay or move to major hubs in Seattle, Arlington, and Washington, D.C.
