By HALELUYA HADERO (AP Business Writer) WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate passed legislation Tuesday that would force TikTok’s China-based parent company to sell the social media platform under the threat of a ban, a contentious move by U.S. lawmakers that’s expected to face legal challenges and disrupt the lives of content creators who rely on the short-form video app for income. The TikTok legislation was included as part of a larger $95 billion package that provides foreign aid to Ukraine and Israel and was passed 79-18. It now goes to President Joe Biden, who said in a statement immediately...

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on January 12, 2024. Posted in Business, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Fruit Stripe Gum, something of a childhood icon for many gum chewers over the past five decades, will soon head over the rainbow with its multicolored zebra mascot Yipes — seemingly for good. The manufacturer of Fruit Stripe Gum, the Chicago company Ferrara Candy Co., gave the magazine Food & Wine a statement Tuesday that it is discontinuing the product; on Wednesday, an unidentified company spokesperson did the same for CNN. Ferrara did not respond to multiple requests from The Associated Press on Thursday seeking confirmation of its decision. Fruit Stripe may have...

The strikes in Texas, as well as at the largest Ford factory in the world in Louisville, Kentucky, and a Stellantis plant that makes lucrative Ram pickups in Michigan, are aimed at getting the companies to...

DeSantis’ move to pull Sagemont scholarships: Concern about Communist China ties or a political stunt?

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on September 26, 2023. Posted in Business, Education, Election, Florida News, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Local News, National News, News, Politics, Ron DeSantis.

Florida’s move to cut off a high-end private school in Weston from state subsidies to parents has raised political and policy questions: Were the schools really an “imminent threat to the health, safety, and welfare” of the students and the public? Or was the state’s move a political stunt to bolster Gov. Ron DeSantis’ struggling presidential campaign? At least 229 students were receiving taxpayer-funded scholarships at the two Sagemont Preparatory School campuses in Weston that were targeted late Friday by DeSantis for alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party. His office on Monday referred...

Disney park revenue slumps in Orlando but grows globally

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on August 10, 2023. Posted in Business, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Network.

Revenue is up for Walt Disney Co.’s theme parks globally, but down at Walt Disney World, according to third-quarter financial results released by the company Wednesday. CEO Robert Iger pointed to a flattening of attendance after the end of Disney World’s 50th anniversary celebration and other contributors for the dip. “Also, as post-COVID pent-up demand continues to level off in Florida, local tax data shows evidence of some softening in several major Florida tourism markets, and the strong dollar is expected to continue tamping down international visitation to the state,” Iger said. The company...

Bank of America hit with $250M in fines and refunds for ‘double-dipping’ fees and fake accounts

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on July 12, 2023. Posted in Business, Crime and Public Safety, Florida News, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, National News, News.

By KEN SWEET and MICHELLE CHAPMAN (Associated Press) NEW YORK (AP) — Bank of America will reimburse customers more than $100 million and pay $150 million in fines for “double-dipping” on overdraft fees, withholding reward bonuses on credit cards and opening accounts without customer consent. Combined, it is one of the highest financial penalties in years against Bank of America, which has largely spent the last 15 years trying to clean up its reputation and market itself to the public as a bank focused on financial health and not on overdraft fee income and financial trickery. BofA must refund...
