According to Futurism, citing Japanese media, the US president invested between $1 million and $5 million in shares of Kura Sushi USA.

In Japan, people immediately speculated that Trump or his team may have confused the company with Fujikura — a manufacturer of fiber optics and computer equipment whose stock had previously surged amid the AI boom.

After the news broke, Kura Sushi shares jumped more than 5%, while Fujikura stock has fallen nearly 45% over the past week.

Restaurants are usually one of the first industries to get hit during a recession. When people get tight on money, eating out is one of the first things they cut.

A surprisingly good indicator is whether your local Texas Roadhouse has a wait on a Friday night. If there’s still a line out the door, the economy is probably doing alright.

Bosch is leaving Germany. Dr. Thilo Scholpp: "The former pride of Swabia is cutting 22,000 jobs in Germany by 2030 in the Mobility division alone — most of them in Baden-Württemberg."

This is not a savings programme. This is a strategic retreat. Bosch is structurally abandoning its homeland in order to survive globally.

A central pillar of industry is crumbling. The automotive and supplier sector is losing massive substance — with dramatic consequences for exports, tax revenues, and the industrial Mittelstand.

Baden-Württemberg is hit particularly hard. The “Autoland” is losing its heart. In the Stuttgart region, 240,000 jobs depend on the car industry. Trade tax shortfalls and structural collapse are looming.

Further job losses of 90,000 to 100,000 among suppliers are realistic. The classic internal combustion engine core is dying, while new jobs in electromobility and software are emerging far too slowly and often not in Germany.

Robert Bosch himself once said:

„Immer habe ich nach dem Grundsatz gehandelt: Lieber Geld verlieren als Vertrauen.“

(“I have always acted according to the principle: Better to lose money than trust.”)

United Airlines (UAL) is using dynamic pricing. This plane ticket says it’s $752. Once you out in the travelers information it says: “Based on traveler information provided, the price of your ticket has changed” The price went from $752.20 -> $1,156.20

United see the trackers age was older so automatically drastically increased the ticket price.

Airlines started holding ‘separate fare buckets’ for different passenger categories. So now for the same seat, you can be sorted into age categories and have your price go up based on what United Airlines says their inventory is for each seat category.

This is dynamic pricing adjustments.

Walmart is marking items as “clearance” but when you pull back the pice tag, the original price is cheaper. - Extension cord is normally $15.88 but is $16.48 on clearance. - Another extension cord is $22.97 but is $23.97 on clearance. - You can view more “clearance” examples.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Guides Against Deceptive Pricing (16 CFR Part 233) state.

A “former price” or implied discount must be bona fide. This means the item must have been genuinely offered and sold at the higher price for a reasonable period.

Clearance and sale advertising that misleads consumers about savings violates the FTC Act (Section 5), which prohibits unfair or deceptive acts.
