Taylor Swift performs onstage during "Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour" at SoFi Stadium on August 09, 2023 in Inglewood, California. At the core of the increasingly common accusation of price gouging is the sense that the consumer is being exploited. Price gouging is in the eye of the bidderGavin Roberts, chair of Weber State University’s economics department and who studies the effect of anti-price gouging laws, said the laws themselves often don’t define what price gouging is. Corporations charging as much as they can, as painful as it may be for consumers, doesn’t mean they’re necessarily price gouging, said Roberts. Steven Suranovic, an economics professor at George Washington University who has also published research on price gouging, sees it differently.

Beyer received a kidney transplant in 2017 after four years of end-stage renal failure that required daily dialysis.

Retail theft led to roughly $94.5 billion in losses for retailers in 2021, per a recent NRF survey. Retailers have been locking away more items to protect them from potential theft. But that has led to customers abandoning certain stores, shoppers nationwide told Insider. Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid are among the retailers that lock up products as a security measure. And earlier this month, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon sounded the alarm on theft, saying "stores will close" unless it is abated.

▼ + stars: | 2022-12-20 | by ( Kimmy Yam | Kimmy Yam Is A Reporter For Nbc Asian America. | ) www.nbcnews.com time to read: +6 min

Native Hawaiian women and girls experience disproportionate levels of violence, and those inequities have long been insufficiently addressed, new research shows. “It’s the collision of hatred of Native Hawaiians and hatred of women that just makes it harder for women’s pain and specifically Native Hawaiian women’s pain to register,” Jabola-Carolus said. Military occupation remains an enduring structure of the U.S. colonization of Hawaii, which researchers point to as the basis for the inequities Native Hawaiian women and girls experience today. Inequities for Native women and girls are also intertwined with the failures of those with legislative power to recognize these Native Hawaiian issues, the report said. But services allocated to specifically help Native Hawaiian survivors of gender-based violence were inadvertently excluded from that funding.

„Dacă tot să mă păzească cineva, măcar să-l aleg eu, nu altcineva.” Un îndemn pentru moldovenii care vor merge la vot pe 11 iulieActorul Igor Babiac a creat un videoclip de promovare și de încurajare a moldovenilor de a merge la vot pe 11 iulie. Acesta a creat o pildă prin care arată cât de important este să facem noi alegerea, nu s-o încredințăm altor oameni. Vine un vecin la mine și îmi propune un câine la poartă și îmi spune: «Ți-am adus un câine să te păzească de hoți ca să nu-ți fure găinile, ouăle». Noaptea, mă trezesc brusc și mă duc în coteț să văd ce îmi fac găinile și văd un câine cu pene la bot, altul cu un ou în gură, iar găini ioc. Atunci, am înțeles un lucru: «Dacă tot să mă păzească cineva, să-l aleg eu, cu mâna mea”, spune actorul.
