  • Penny Rounding Rules Crop Up in Multiple States

    As the U.S. penny continues its exit from common circulation, several states (and the federal government) are introducing penny-rounding bills which largely follow the symmetrical rounding rule. Prices ending in one, two, six, or seven cents are rounded down — prices ending in three, four, eight, or nine are rounded up (via Newser).

  • Meta Could Be Looking at Sweeping Job Cuts, Report Suggests

    Meta could be weighing sweeping job cuts of as much as 20% of its existing workforce, a Seeking Alpha report (citing Reuters sources) suggests, due to massive AI capital expenditures. However, for its part, Meta called the reports “speculative reporting about theoretical approaches” (via TheStreet).

  • Amazon’s Big Spring Sale Set To Return

    Amazon is set to launch its Big Spring Sale at the end of the month, spanning March 25 through March 31. This time around, non-Prime members will also be able to join in the shopping spree (via NBC News).

  • Oil Prices Continue to Rise as Trump Seeks To Open Strait of Hormuz

    Oil prices continue to soar as President Donald Trump seeks allies in the goal of opening the Strait of Hormuz. While the U.S. Navy is slated to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz in the near future, Iran’s military capability has not been degraded enough for that to occur as yet (via Al Jazeera).

  • ‘Target Fast’ Boycott Comes to an End

    At least one of the DEI-centric boycotts pertaining to Target is coming to an end, as “Target Fast” has been called off by its organizer. Pastor Jamal Bryant of the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church called for an end to the boycott after Target allegedly privately admitted to a breakdown in trust with the Black community and recommitted itself to funding Black-led community groups and businesses (via Forbes).
