Now, one of those buildings is struggling, and equity investors risk being wiped out. Crowdfunding platform Yieldstreet, which has helped raise money for the property, recently told its equity investors that their investments could be wiped out. Flow launched in 2022 with investments in six apartment buildings, including the now-troubled Nashville property, and a $350 million check from venture firm Andreessen Horowitz. A Flow spokesperson sought to distance the Miami-based startup from the 2010 West End property, saying that Flow has never managed the building and is only the minority equity owner.

July marked a third straight month that egg prices rose on an annual basis, a reversal from a year of relative decreases. The culprit was a continued battle against the highly pathogenic avian influenza, known in short as HPAI or the bird flu. Inflation in egg prices became a focus for consumers during the pandemic given their ubiquity in everyday cooking. The bird flu had a historic outbreak in 2022 and surged once again at the end of 2023. That can underscore the impact of any bird flu outbreaks on the prices customers see on grocery store shelves.

Netflix is one of the few bright spots among media names in the case of an economic slowdown, according to JPMorgan. Netflix shares are trading just 2% lower following its second-quarter earnings announcement on July 18, whereas the S & P 500 is currently down 4% over the same period. In the second quarter, Netflix reported a 34% yearly increase in its ad-supported memberships, and total memberships topped analysts' forecasts. Anmuth added, "We generally view subscription services like NFLX (and SPOT ) as being more resilient during periods of macro pressure." A potential weak spot for Netflix may be a softening digital ad market.

She was an essential link in making this film; her trust and love in the community made it possible for the women to open up to us. To ensure the women felt comfortable sharing their often ignored stories without fear of judgment or compromised privacy, we chose to incorporate animation. Her distinctive, stream-of-consciousness animation conveys the nuanced emotions and inner worlds of the women. We hope it fosters greater empathy and insight into lives that deserve to be understood and valued.
