“The center took a huge hit when the takeover happened,” and then appeared to stabilize, according to an official familiar with the center’s financial situation. But after the name change, “it was just an absolute fiscal cliff. Donors disappeared, ticket sales disappeared, artists disappeared — like it was doomsday.”

Even after slashing expenses, center officials projected earned revenue this fiscal year to miss its budget target by 70% & contributed revenue to fall 25% short. The revenue miss was projected to leave the center with a $23 million deficit.

The documents show that leaders knew both were cratering even as they publicly portrayed Trump’s takeover as a financial rescue. In a failed June request to keep Trump’s name on the building, for instance, a #DOJ lawyer wrote that renaming the center after #Trump “represented a saving of The #KennedyCenter which, if this doesn’t happen, would go into financial and structural collapse.”

Wired: A free press. Tired: Madison Square Garden. Expired: James Dolan’s brain
#badBusiness #journalism #richAssholes“Earlier today, Wired learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by this reporting, and plan to vigorously defend it against this baseless and ridiculous lawsuit. We look forward to continuing our coverage of MSG, and on billionaire James Dolan’s use of technology across his entertainment empire. It’s one part of our wider mission and the critical job of journalists, now more than ever: holding power to account.”
And now Madison Square Garden is suing Wired over its surveillance reporting -

My institutional rate for the train is $56. The regular booking price for the same seat is $12. That’s a heck of a mark-up!

The rate bottomed out at 49.9% last March, just below the industry average, after #Musk launched #Trump’s *budget-slashing* #DOGE in January & started firing thousands of government workers.
…S&P analyst Tom Libby called it "unprecedented" to see the runaway leader in customer loyalty fall so quickly to industry-average levels. "I’ve never seen this rapid of a decline in such a short period of time," he said.

The data, which has not been previously reported, shows Tesla’s customer loyalty peaked in June 2024, when 73% of Tesla-owning households in the market for a new car bought another #Tesla, acc/to an S&P analysis of vehicle-registration data in all 50 states.
That industry-leading brand loyalty rate started to nosedive in July, that data showed, when #Musk endorsed #Trump….

@MEActNOW Trigger bait. The MAGA circus without free publicity will run out of fuel. Stop feeding it. Offer something better, like push those who advocate ethically sustainable laws against criminal, oligarchs and their cults. Their programme is literally a dead end. Their war and terror on equal rights favours tyrants, so they can profit from the price gouging of polluting and climate destroying non-renewables! Total corruption and total ecocide is not normal! #BadBusiness #EvilBusiness #NormalisingBadPublicity #EvilOligarchs #NoRightsNoFuture #AbnormalTimes #MarketCriminals #InsaneOligarchs

Do not ever, no matter how enticing the ads, don’t ever order anything from Javvy coffee!! They will never ever cancel your subscription and you’ll keep getting a $100 box of coffee concentrate for the rest of your life. I had to cancel my credit card. They are relentless.
And if you need any coffee concentrate, hmu!! #badbusiness #javvy #coffee #mailorderscam #cannotcancel

Economy-wary travelers? Perhaps. But I call BS. I attempted to book multiple #Airbnb reservations throughout the year and the cleaning fee cost more than the room rate. Find me a #hotel instead, thank you! #ridiculous #travel #badbusiness https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/technology/airbnb-forecasts-dour-third-quarter-revenue-economic-worries-slow-demand-2024-08-06/

Just had a potential client require I use Bill.com or PayPal for payment. Then they rejected Stripe as an option and canceled the project. Has anyone dealt with shady practices like this? #badbusiness #business #BusinessTech #webdev #webdesign

This article sums up some insider emails between Elon Musk and Sam Altman regarding Tesla and OpenAI.
"[Musk is] angry at OpenAI for giving other investors the opportunity to invest in a powerful company he wanted for himself. But he never approached OpenAI and its founders as respected business partners; he approached them like a frat boy who puts down girls he's interested in because he's terrified of rejection."

Twitter is now instituting a Fee for all users, even basic normal access in New Zealand & Philippines.
It's "only" $1 per year, but it's the principal of the thing.
Mind you at that level, it's still just basic access, not the premium or blue or whatever other tiers, that's for absolute basic access, to even log into twitter at all.

Ok #toyota in these days of spam-everything from all directions, it is SO NOT COOL to be constantly calling my cell from some random phone number to leave me apparently official voice mails that my car is due for service. Do you not get why that's not a good idea? #BadBusiness #StupidIdeas #stopCallingMe

I can’t believe I’m still wrestling with Revive Superfoods. This has been going on all year. Shady business with awful customer service. It’s too bad, because their product is good. #BadBusiness

Revive Superfoods has been a pain in my ass since I tried to cancel my account. I have sent them numerous emails saying I want to cancel, they have no way of canceling listed in their FAQ, and they kept charging my credit card even after multiple complaints. The last time, they didn’t even deliver what was paid for. Now that I’ve blocked them from my card, I just got an email asking me to fix my payment options. https://revivesuperfoods.com/middle-funnel/?from=google-search-brand&gad=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw1MajBhAcEiwAagW9MX5D32mvE-1oSgxauoWQCllEJ8ypVKGEUlDUeypS1xOvy2VfPV6cQRoCVo8QAvD_BwE #BadBusinesses #ShadyBusiness #BadBusiness

Revive Superfoods makes good smoothies. However, I cannot recommend them. They make it impossible to cancel a subscription, and they outright lie when they say their products are zero waste. I have been struggling with them for months to cancel my subscription. I ended up having to put a freeze on my PayPal account so they can’t take more money out. What a shitty business practice. It’s too bad, because their food is good. #ReviveSuperfoods #BadBusiness #CustomerServiceProblems
