(The Hill) -- Eighteen companies shared that they have cut ties with a business venture created by Hip Hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs amid the slew of sexual assault allegations against the music legend. The companies confirmed with Rolling Stone Magazine on Sunday that they severed business relationships with Combs’ recently launched platform Empower Global. Empower Global, founded by Combs in 2021, is an immersive e-commerce, digital marketplace offering products from Black-owned businesses around the world. The platform is said to “elevate the Black economy by creating opportunities for Black entrepreneurs to build and scale successful businesses” for consumers.

TikTokers claim 2023 economy is worse than Great Depression

(WGN Radio) – Inflation is easing, unemployment is relatively low, and the stock market looks strong, economics experts say. So why does it still feel so bad?A host of TikTokers have coined a name for it: "silent depression." They say the economy is bad – just as bad as it was during the Great Depression – but no one is acknowledging it. One viral video compares 1930 prices with today's, claiming the average home back then cost $3,900, a car was $600 and rent was $18 a month. Meanwhile, the average salary was $1,300, the TikToker says. Are you owed money from the $3 million Credit Karma settlement? Today, those prices are all obviously much, much higher: $436,000 for a house, $48,000 for a new car, and about $2,000 a month for rent. Meanwhile, the average person is making $56,000, he says. (The Bureau of Labor Statistics puts that figure slightly higher at about $58,000 for someone working full time. The U.S. Census Bureau put the median household income last year at ar...Dean’s A-List Interviews: Olivia Coleman, Keegan-Michael Key on 'Wonka'

AMARILLO, Texas (KAMR/KCIT) - Everything's bigger in Texas - including an enthusiasm for themed gifts. Whether it be for an office party or a family gathering, holiday gift baskets are reliable ways to compile smaller, often tasty, treats and gifts aimed at a general theme or a specific person's interests.
