America’s Debt Crisis Burns While Congress Fiddles

Last month, the Penn Wharton Budget Model from the University of Pennsylvania came out with an analysis of the debt crisis entitled “When Does Federal Debt Reach Unsustainable Levels?”Their answer? The concern is that punting the problem into the future, continuing to raise debt even as interest rates rise further or hold at higher levels for longer, the debt will grow even faster in a “snowball” scenario. Similar proposals have been offered over the years but at the same time they seem to lack political support – indeed, Republicans have recently voiced the idea of cutting Social Security. The debt crisis is rapidly worsening at a time when the bond market is having its own set of problems. A recent government auction of debt, an occurrence that is becoming more common as the U.S. borrows more, saw weak demand.

Best Buy will soon stop selling DVDs

Now Best Buy will stop selling DVDs and Blu-ray discs at the end of the 2023 holiday season, too. Best Buy says that streaming has made DVDs obsolete and it can use physical space in its stores and warehouses for tech products in higher demand. “To state the obvious, the way we watch movies and TV shows is much different today than it was decades ago,” Best Buy said in a statement. Best Buy does not break out its sales from DVDs, but Best Buy currently has 24,000 DVDs listed on its website. Best Buy’s exit from the market will leave Walmart, Amazon and Target as the top retailers stocking DVDs, according to Digital Bits.

NEW YORK (AP) — Best Buy is saying goodbye to movie-watching with physical discs. Speculation about the fate of Best Buy's physical movies began swirling around this week after several media outlets reported on the company's plans. And according to Variety, which also cited industry sources, Best Buy made the initial decision to end DVD sales nine months ago. Comparable sales — sales from physical stores open at least a year, and digital channels — fell 6.3%, dragged down by declines in computing and appliances. While appliance and electronic sales fell, the entertainment category increased by 9.1%.

It's going to get a little bit harder to get your hands on a physical copy of your favorite movie. Best Buy this week confirmed reports that it will soon stop selling DVDs and Blu-ray discs at its more than 900 stores nationwide, as well as on its website.

"Making this change gives us more space and opportunity to bring customers new and innovative tech for them to explore, discover and enjoy," they added. A representative for Best Buy did not respond to CNBC Make It's request for comment.

The entertainment giant last week announced a commemorative box set containing its most acclaimed animated films from its storied history. The Disney Legacy Animated Film Collection features 100 films — one for each year of the House of Mouse's century-long history. Next month, Disney will increase the price of its Disney+ streaming service, where many of these films can be found, to $13.99 per month. That means the new box set will cost the same as roughly nine years of ad-free Disney+, or more than 15 years of the ad-supported $7.99 per month plan. Also in the box is a lithograph poster of "Wish," the company's upcoming animated film which will commemorate its centennial anniversary.

BOGOTA, Jan 10 (Reuters) - Colombia and the National Liberation Army (ELN) rebel group could hold an emergency meeting in Caracas as early as this week, the head of the government negotiating team said on Tuesday. Colombia declared and then called off a bilateral ceasefire with the group last week after the ELN said it had not agreed to the move. But Mexico was not yet ready to host, Otty Patino, the head of the government's negotiating team told Blu Radio and the two sides could hold a prior meeting back in Caracas this week or next. A meeting in Caracas "is not a cycle but an emergency meeting" he added. Petro, who took office last year, has pledged to seek peace agreements or surrender deals with armed groups of all stripes.
It also represents a significant bridging of the divides between Sony Pictures Entertainment, Sony PlayStation and Sony Music, according to a dozen current and former senior executives interviewed by Reuters. “I defined our identity as a creative entertainment company with a solid foundation on technology,” Sony chief executive Kenichiro Yoshida said. Sony’s “creative entertainment” company approach extends beyond content. A Sony-Honda electric vehicle, scheduled to reach consumers by 2026, is being framed as a rolling showcase of Sony’s entertainment, gaming and camera sensor prowess. This August will bring another test of Sony’s strategy when “Gran Turismo” hits theaters after languishing for 12 years.
