Greeson: Cracker Barrel meets beer barrel, helping kids get internet access, Big Ten football finances, obit observation

Well, the coronavirus and the demand for business owners to find ways to make up lost revenue have hit us in ways that maybe we could have expected and in ways that no one could have expected. For Pete’s sake, a local McDonald’s closed.

So let’s talk here.

Who in a world before coronavirus would have ever imagined that the need for a revenue bump would put Cracker Barrel in the beer and wine business?

That’s right, Cracker Barrel, the home of home-style cookin’ across the country, is on tap to offer beer and wine in its dining rooms — even right here in its home state of Tennessee.

Man, think of the options. Farm-raised catfish, and Boone’s Farm. Biscuits and Budweiser.

Chicken and cheers, y’all.

 

Speaking of revenue

OK, there was something lost amid the news of Big Ten football returning to the field next month.

Questions being raised after Kodak’s stock has a big moment

Eastman Kodak’s potentially lucrative deal to help the U.S. government make more generic drugs domestically is threatening to turn into a regulatory headache for the fallen photography giant.

Kodak’s depressed stock price surged last week before the company announced its plans to work with President Donald Trump’s administration in exchange for a $765 million loan. That prompted Sen. Elizabeth Warren to send a Monday letter asking the Securities and Exchange Commission to investigate whether insider trading laws have been broken.

The SEC is now in the early stages of a probe, according to a report published Tuesday by The Wall Street Journal. The newspaper cited unidentified people familiar with the matter.

The SEC declined to comment on the report.

Kodak said Tuesday that the Rochester, New York, company intends to cooperate with any potential inquiries, without saying whether it has been contacted by the SEC.

The company’s stock soared on

Twitter and its chief executive Jack Dorsey have issued a veiled attack on rival social networks such as Facebook for using their market power to “kill competing ideas and organisations”.

Mr Dorsey said on Thursday that “large organisations” attempting to build online “walled gardens” were a threat to online freedom, and pledged his company to “fighting for an open internet”.

Twitter itself also issued a statement urging regulators to “hold corporate power to account” and “avoid entrenching the dominance o the biggest players by protecting competition”.

It came after leaders of Facebook, Apple, Google and

Big fashion says it’s fighting racism. Black streetwear designers say not hard enough

For more than a year, Los Angeles-based streetwear designer Tremaine Emory had been working with Converse on a red, green and black sneaker inspired by Jamaican political activist and Black nationalist Marcus Garvey’s Pan-African flag and artist David Hammons’ 1990 work “African-American Flag,” an original of which was acquired by the Broad museum in Los Angeles last year.

Emory’s brand, Denim Tears, tells the story of Black people in the United States starting in 1619, when the first documented enslaved Africans arrived in Virginia; according to the designer, the brand’s logo, a cotton plant, is a direct reference to slavery. That’s why the proposed packaging for his Converse sneaker collaboration depicts a coffin covered with Hammons’ flag and a cotton wreath, as a tribute to Black Americans who have died under unjust conditions. The image is based on an art installation, “A Proper Burial, Thanks America,” that Emory debuted in

After Big Tech hearing, these changes could become priorities for Washington

The landmark Congressional hearing of tech CEOs on Wednesday was long on political theater, but sprinkled among the 5 hours of questioning were some solid indications of what changes lawmakers could seek for technology companies.

With the CEOs of Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google before him, Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI) announced that the next step for his investigation will be a report to “propose solutions to the problems before us.” In an interview with Yahoo News last week, Cicilline, who has endorsed Joe Biden, said he hopes the report will be a “blueprint for the next administration.”

The question is what measures might actually be a priority in 2021 in either a Biden or Trump administration. President Trump has been outspoken on some issues – especially political speech – and former Vice President Joe Biden and his allies have indicated that some of these big tech issues would be part

Everything that happened at the Big Tech anti-trust virtual hearing

Everything that happened at the Big Tech anti-trust virtual hearing
Everything that happened at the Big Tech anti-trust virtual hearing

There was yelling. There was butt-kissing. There was Jeff Bezos forgetting to take himself off mute. Another congressional hearing where members of congress get to blast tech CEOs with questions – some crucial, some nonsense – is in the books.

As a hearing on anti-trust law, it was a historic moment of reckoning with the most powerful companies and people the modern world has ever known. It was also at times ridiculous and awkward, thanks to political theatrics, and the fact that all the CEOs appeared virtually via video conference because of coronavirus precautions.

Will it result in any action that impacts the might of Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google? We’ll have to see how Congress looks after the November elections. If the democrats gain control, the companies could be subject to more intense regulations and potential restructuring. If the

Biased Big Tech algorithms limit our lives and choices. Stop the online discrimination.

The leaders of Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google have some serious explaining to do about bias and discrimination when they appear Wednesday at an antitrust hearing before the House Judiciary Committee. 

The abuse of trust by the platform-based companies we rely on most has largely flown under the radar as a global pandemic heightens and highlights fissures in our society. But our data and our choices continue to be manipulated in problematic ways — often by algorithms that subtly introduce bias into the prices we pay and the information and options made available to us. It is essential that we hold our digital gatekeepers accountable. 

The algorithms at issue have a veritable fire hose of our data at their disposal, and they aren’t the neutral equations we might assume them to be. They are the product of humans, and because of that they have a tendency to perpetuate human biases.

How Big Tech Antitrust Hearing May Help Consumers

Consumer Reports has no financial relationship with advertisers on this site.

When the CEOs of the nation’s four biggest tech firms appear before lawmakers on Wednesday to defend their business practices, the fallout is likely to stretch well beyond Silicon Valley. In fact, it may affect your digital future.

Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, Apple’s Tim Cook, Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, and Google’s Sundar Pichai will field questions raised by a yearlong federal investigation into the tech industry, testifying under oath about decisions that affect consumer choice. The hearing was organized by the antitrust subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee.

Based on their answers, regulators will determine whether perhaps the companies have stifled innovation and impeded competition in online marketplaces, app stores, social media platforms, and search results.

“We’ll learn something by what they tell us or what they refuse to tell us,” says Jonathan Schwantes, senior policy counsel at Consumer Reports.
