Bed Bath & Beyond said Thursday it doesn't have enough cash to pay down its debts and it has defaulted on its credit line with JPMorgan, warning once again of a potential bankruptcy. Shares of Bed Bath plunged Thursday afternoon, prompting brief trading halts. The stock closed 22% down with a market cap of about $295 million, although it traded higher Friday morning. In a securities filing, the struggling home goods retailer said it "does not have sufficient resources to repay the amounts under the Credit Facilities and this will lead the Company to consider all strategic alternatives, including restructuring

Looks like the end is near. They are running out of cash and have no My Pillows to cushion the crash landing.

They cut out My Pillow stuff and a LOT of an already thinning customer base just said "I'll never go back" Go woke, go broke! As an older guy, I never understood the place....but I wasn't their targeted demographic, for certain.

I certainly remember that they were the place to visit if you went to the mall. Yankee Candle being another. Fewer people go to the mall so there is not walk in traffic. And some of us just got tired of their nonsense and wouldn't even purchase their products from their websites. You can get bath products from other places. They were easy to say goodbye to.

I used to shop at BB&B fairly often -- as long as I had a coupon. Otherwise, they were just too expensive. But I did get some good deals on some nice stuff with coupons back in the day. But when they cancelled My Pillow to show their "woke" credentials, they lost me. I haven't been in a BB&B in a couple of years now. I don't miss it at all.

Seems to be a self-inflicted demise in one part, but also most of the items are easily available online with nearly free delivery. Retail has a problem, and it's that they made the experience difficult. There are hardly any employees in the store, and when you want to pay for the items you have in your shopping cart, they make that difficult too. You usually have to wait in long lines just to give them your money! Compare that to how you can easily search online for a product, or item, and pay for it quickly.

Back in the good old days (about 2012) while shopping at BBBY I noticed a large stack of My Pillows near the register at the front of the store. Even though I had been somewhat put off by the commercials, I tossed on My Pillow into the cart, curious. Could they really be that good? The night I spent my first night on a My Pillow, and have never been without one since. There are four levels of fill in a My Pillow: yellow (mostly for children), lavender (formerly white), green, and blue. After spinal fusion surgery, lumbar and cervical, I have slept on the latter three, and vary each night according to my mood. They're all great. Thank you, Mike! Great products! (Sheets, towels, slippers, etc., are also great.) BBBY really screwed up. Damn shame. Get woke, go broke!

There's the woke thang, for sure, but the covid over-reacting had a part, too. Our local BB&B was closed for in-store shopping (order online and delivered to your car window when you drive up) for months longer than their competitors. They just lost their clientele to more welcoming competitors!

I stopped shopping at BB&B after they showed their wokeness and left leaning political bias by banning My Pillow products from their stores. When you alienate half of your customers that's a recipe for insolvency.

Gas prices are continuing to rise to start 2023, and experts say prices are "unlikely to turn around any time soon." The current average for a regular gallon of gas $3.50, according to AAA. While it's nowhere near the record $5.01 reached in June, its far more than what the average was heading into New Year's Day and what prices were one year ago. Experts say it's possible the average price reaches $4 later this year. Here's what to know about gas prices heading into February: How much have gas prices risen?

Firefighters in Vail rushed to put out a garage fire on Juniper Lane early Saturday morning after the homeowner called to report an odor of burning electrical equipment.

Joe Biden’s expected re-election bid will thrust his wife, Jill Biden, further into the public eye, as the White House deploys the self-described introvert to help win over women. What little polling exists in regard to the first lady, who is 71, suggests she’s unknown to many Americans, even after two years at the side of the world’s most powerful person. But within the White House she is understood to be the president’s closest and most protective confidante. “She is his gut check on everything,” said Michael LaRosa, former press secretary to the first lady and special assistant to the

The White House announced Wednesday it is taking strategic steps to protect renters, including setting up limits on egregious rate hikes. Critics, however, have called out the Biden administration's one-size-fits-all program that makes changes for renters at the expense of landlords. "We've seen it for so many years, and it's very frustrating," American Apartment Owners Association director Alexandra Alvarado said during Grady Trimble's report on "The Big Money Show" Wednesday. "[Mom-and-pop landlords] are not being treated differently, even though it affects them much more than it would affect any large company with thousands of units. They have room for it.

Democrats and far-left green groups have set their sights on regulating a wide range of popular household appliances in a bid to push their broader electrification and climate agenda. The push to regulate everyday appliances — including water heaters, furnaces, clothes washers, dishwashers, ceiling fans, microwave ovens and shower heads — comes as the Biden administration and Democratic lawmakers continue to set lofty net-zero and climate goals for weaning off fossil fuel dependence. Environmentalists have argued that electrification, banning natural gas hookups and implementing strict energy efficiency standards could help accelerate emissions reductions.

Michigan's auto industry has its "hiring" signs out, but few are applying and some who do quit by lunchtime. It is a nationwide problem that's hit small mom-and-pop suppliers and reverberated to the biggest carmakers in the world. The challenge is serious enough that the Michigan Manufacturers Association has increased its budget and brought in a new director of workforce development to aggressively promote auto manufacturing jobs. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of people employed by motor vehicle and parts manufacturers declined by 3,500 in January. In February, the decrease was larger, with a decline of

Among the 9 people featured in the official poster are Angela Davis and Malcolm X — not Martin Luther King or Clarence Thomas, men who made America better, but a pair of thugs. Davis is the communist who in August 1970 surreptitiously armed three murder defendants which led to a shootout with the police that left the judge and the three gunmen dead. Malcolm X was an ex-convict who once was the face of the Nation of Islam, a black supremacist church. When he left it, the church sent assassins who killed him.
