  • TFG Unbuttoned: Costco Apartments for Rent Soon
    Feb 18 2025

    While many have backed off DEI Initiatives, Disney has placed them where they belong—internally. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is still important for Disney, but doing your job is the key measure that will move you ahead at the company. Then, retailer Costco, is building a new store in South Los Angeles with 800 apartments on top of the warehouse. Everyone is curious as to how this will work and if it will spread to other markets. Finally, homophobic hecklers at the Dolly Parton inspired musical in the UK, “Here You Come Again,” are not welcome and will be ejected.

  • Pizza Habits of America
    Feb 15 2025

    Shop Talk shares three things we can learn from Dolly Parton’s business legacy. Caught My Eye reports that KitKat will be discontinuing the vegan candy bar option so get them now while you can. Also, a new study from Talker Research looks at the pizza habits of America. You will be surprised at which state per capita eats the most pizza. Don Panoz, founder of Chateau Elon and the nicotine patch, is our Business Birthday.

    We’re all business. Except when we’re not.

  • TFG Unbuttoned: LGBTQ Non-Profits Scramble Under Trump
    Feb 11 2025

    The Human Rights Campaign, (HRC), joins The Trevor Project and GLSEN in reducing staff and refocusing their efforts in the new political climate. Our question to all these non-profits is, how have you advanced LGBTQ rights in the last few years? Then, an angry customer who purchased a Subaru Outback tried to return it by driving through the dealership. He is now charged with a couple of felonies due to damages of more than 85K. Finally, a Bare Necessities nude cruise left Miami last week on a Norwegian Cruise Line ship and “no-fondling is allowed.”
