  • After yesterday's events

    From JAB@21:1/5 to All on Sat Mar 1 21:26:20 2025
    After yesterday's events in the White House, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of
    Norway's largest marine fuel companies, appears to have announced that
    it will no longer refuel American Navy vessels.

    Haltbakk has called on other European companies to refuse service to
    American forces.

    If true, this would be a big deal! Although, I wonder if they were
    doing a ton of refueling.

    Maybe Americans will wake up when they realize we are becoming somewhat
    of a pariah in world eyes.

    But I doubt it ... Americans will continue going to the mall.

    Ridiculous! They are a business. I'd have the CEO kicked out if I was
    chairman of the board!

    Malls are also appealing to Gen Z, who are looking for more "fun,"
    according to a National Retail Federation report. That means focusing
    on beauty and athleisure stores like Lululemon, said Stephen Lebovitz,
    CEO of CBL Properties, which has 55 malls and outlets in its
    portfolio. Six of those include multi-family housing that will total
    more than 1,500 units, Lebovitz said

    A decision like that typically requires board approval. Nice try
    though.
