    Brookstone went through a bankruptcy in 2014 and was purchased by two Chinese companies: Sailing Capital and Sanpower. The chain is bankrupt once again and will close all 101 of its mall locations but retain its 35 stores at airports -- because, goshdarnit, when you arrive in Los Angeles after a 13-hour plane flight from Berlin, you've just gotta buy one of those remote-control helicopters.

    Children used to give apples to their school teachers. Nowadays, I'm sure the teachers would prefer shares of Apple stock.

    Apple is the world's first publicly traded trillion-dollar company

    Amazon will no longer sell products with Nazi symbols. That's commendable and it's a nice public-relations move but it will not lessen the racism, bigotry, prejudice and white nationalism that are staining our nation. By the way, the swastika dates from around 6000 BCE and was originally a religious symbol and a design used on pottery and in artwork. In the 1930s, the Nazi Party adopted the swastika as their symbol, forever stigmatizing the image.

    Amazon removes products featuring Nazi and white nationalist symbols

    Another day, another bankruptcy.

    Los Angeles Times, Aug 6 2018 12:20 PM

    The Gardena-based parent company of the retail chains Fallas and Anna’s Linens said Monday it filed for bankruptcy reorganization and plans to close 74 of its 344 stores. National Stores Inc., a family-owned firm operating in 22 states and Puerto Rico, said the bankruptcy filing was due to certain underperforming stores and severe weather in various regions that hurt sales.

    Blue Ribbon Sports was founded in 1964 in Oregon, In 1971, the company changed its name to Nike, after the Greek goddess of victory. I wonder if she will help these four ex-employees win their lawsuit.

    Nike hit with class-action lawsuit
    The Oregonian, Aug 10 2018

    Four women are suing Nike, claiming their former employer has for years perpetuated a culture of unequal compensation and sexual harassment. The class-action lawsuit, filed Thursday in the US District Court in Portland, is among the first to hit the Washington County company since a wave of complaints about pay disparities and bullying managers became public earlier this year. In response, the company parted ways with at least 11 executives in March and April, though it never publicly accused them of anything.

    The plaintiffs accuse Nike of violating the Federal Equal Pay Act, the Oregon Equal Pay Act and the Oregon Equality Act. They don't ask for specific monetary damages. Rather they seek a court order requiring Nike to pay its employees fairly without regard to gender.
