To Kill a Mockingbird
How a company's sales and growth can be affected by the message it conveys to customers.
July 18, 2023
Allbirds stock is down 95% since its November 2021 initial public offering.

Consumers rank saving the planet as one of their least pressing concerns when making a purchase. The leading factors consumers look for when ...

Cheese and Fruit Platter for the Fourth of July Centerpiece

Love how this handwoven accent looks with a Corelle white oval dish in a rich, shimmering, rustic tone that is fashioned from 100% pure and natural exotic vines. Any festive occasion is easily complemented by its earthy shine, which also beautifully displays any food presentation. White laminated glass by Corelle is used to coordinate with the oval tray's surface. A happy Fourth of July weekend to all!

Each April, I scramble to send my tax information to my accountant so I can file my taxes before April 15. Since my friends confide that they do the same, there are likely millions of people like us racing to prepare our taxes. What if there was a way to avoid this painful rush—and even the cost of it? The WSJ shares that Japan, New Zealand, and much of Europe get such relief. The countries prepare tax returns for their citizens using existing data, and the citizen just needs to review it,...
