☆ My family had to stay at 3 different resorts during our 8-day trip to Disney World, and it wasn't worth all the effort
  + stars: | 2024-05-16 | by ( Jill Robbins | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
When my family of four went to Disney World for the holidays one year, everything was so booked we had to stay in three different resorts. We've done split stays at Disney World in the past, but this was the first time we stayed at three different hotels on a single visit. Pop Century wasn't my favorite resort, but it definitely has its prosIt's unfair to compare a value resort like Pop Century to villas at deluxe resorts, but Pop Century was my least favorite of the three. Jill RobbinsThis wasn't my first time staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge or Wilderness Lodge, and I'd happily stay in either again. Moving from one resort to another at Disney World was pretty seamlessIt's pretty easy to move between resorts at Disney World.

☆ We left our boxes in storage for a year when our move was interrupted. Minimalism worked out well for us.

They were moved straight to our shiny new storage unit, and the plan was to move them into our temporary rental a few weeks later. Wouldn't it be better to show our apartment if we didn't have boxes in the way and there was less clutter everywhere? We decided to leave the boxes in the storage unit for the moment. All of a sudden, week by week, we were making pilgrimages to the storage unit, tossing out boxes we could live without. It still wasn't good timing for real estate, so we moved the lot of it into a smaller storage unit and immediately lopped hundreds of dollars a month from our budget.

☆ Israel’s far-right wants to move Palestinians out of Gaza. Its ideas are gaining attention
  + stars: | 2024-01-17 | by ( Mick Krever | Jomana Karadsheh | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +13 min
CNN —The Israeli soldiers stand rifles in hand, arm over shoulder, speaking to the camera. “We must promote a solution to encourage the emigration of the residents of Gaza,” far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said on January 1. Far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who also holds a position in the Defense Ministry, says that Israel “will rule there. If Palestinians in Gaza are “post-Jihad, pro-Israel, and want to live that good life in that beautiful soil, there should be an opportunity for that,” he said. That color was adopted in 2004 and 2005 by the movement protesting Israel’s disengagement from Gaza.

☆ Get ready to pay up to $10 for making a return, as more companies charge fees for shipping an item back
  + stars: | 2023-05-11 | by ( Sindhu Sundar | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
More retailers are charging customers for shipping and related fees for mailing back returns. Roughly 41% of companies charged such fees in 2022, an increase from 33% in 2021, according to a survey. It's becoming more common for customers returning products to shoulder shipping fees. Several major retailers have referenced shipping fees for returns, including H&M, which states that "Shipping and handling costs are not refundable." J.Crew notes on its website that customers shipping gift returns will see a $7.50 charge in their refund, while JCPenney states that shipping returns cost $8.
☆ Pop-Up Grand Prix: The Formula 1 Race Fans Don’t Get to See
  + stars: | 2023-05-05 | by ( Patricia Mazzei | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — By late Sunday night in Baku, a few hours after Sergio Pérez of Red Bull had won the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, much of the equipment necessary to stage a Formula 1 race had been methodically packed, wrapped and hoisted onto pallets, ready to fly halfway across the world. Chartered cargo planes did the heavy lifting from there, hauling disassembled 1,700-pound racecars — and almost anything else imaginable — to Miami International Airport, where, by Monday, the shipment had been offloaded onto trucks and delivered to the pop-up racetrack around Hard Rock Stadium, which will host the Miami Grand Prix on Sunday. Getting from the starting grid to the finish line is not, it turns out, the only high-stakes race against the clock in Formula 1. For the top tier of international open-wheel racing, putting on premier competitions on back-to-back weekends is a complicated logistical symphony. The lights’ flicking off at the start of each race are contingent on everything, somehow, arriving on time, every time.
☆ This couple paid $7,150 for items people returned to Amazon, Walmart and Target—and made $19,500 reselling them
  + stars: | 2022-12-15 | by ( Megan Sauer | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
In December 2020, Jamie and Sarah McCauley stumbled into their strangest side hustle yet: Buying pallets of items people returned to Target, Walmart and Amazon. The process seemed simple: Interested parties visited a local warehouse and paid $550, on average, for a pallet of returns. Since then, Jamie, 33, and Sarah, 32, estimate they've spent about $7,150 on pallets from Amazon, Walmart and Target. They've made about $19,500 in profit by reselling the items in those boxes on eBay and Facebook Marketplace, they say. Even the lucrative Amazon pallet contained 19 pieces of inventory that still haven't sold, including some items too damaged to list at all.
☆ Consultants peddling job advice have created a 'workplace industrial complex' that's making them rich — and your job more miserable
  + stars: | 2022-10-20 | by ( Ed Zitron | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +10 min
It can be head-spinning to keep up with the sudden trends taking hold in the workplace: Workers are "quiet quitting." Old problems, new namesThe perfect example of the workplace-industrial complex in action is the recent freakout over "quiet quitting." And that's how companies end up hiring consultants who charge $10,000 to $15,000 a day to "help with quiet quitting." But in reality, the workplace-industrial complex exists as a self-propelling public-relations engine for the worst impulses of the management set. Simple answers, difficult solutionsWhat's both confusing and annoying about the state of the workplace-industrial complex is that it's helpful to no one.
