From @Stefan's source, Statista. You have to purchase a subscription to learn where, Statista get their information, but they seem reputable. These figures are rather encouraging, for the industry. But I'd be willing to bet the figures for Black magazine like the old Emerge are dismal. NUMBER OF PRINT MAGAZINES IN THE U.S.: 7,416 ESTIMATED AGGREGATE REVENUE OF U.S. PERIODICAL PUBLISHERS: 23.92bn USD ESTIMATED EXPENSES OF U.S. PERIODICAL PUBLISHERS: 18.9bn USD Number of print consumer magazines in the United States from 2002 to 2020

I thought long and hard and I couldn't see a clear winner. I checked my nintendo 3ds that still has a ton of games on it, all played to the hilt:) and I decided Box Boy + Box Girl I never bought the 4th game but I went to the end of all the box boy games on the DS era, and I enjoyed them all very much.

Show the data. I can show the data that people getting shot to death by police is minuscule. Show me your numbers on reported police brutality. There is no epidemic of police killing people today and hasn’t been for decades. https://www.statista.com/statistics/585152/people-shot-to-death-by-us-police-by-race/ Look at the total numbers is not even a rounding error. They are tragic, but many are justified.

A wholly owned black firm would not have to address and/or levy a severe punishment for such an offense. Black folks know they're under a different magnifying glass yet they continue to crash into the glass like an angry bird. I remember when Tiger Woods ex-wife went upside his head with one of his golf clubs. Sponsors dropped him. They convinced him to enter a rehab for sex addiction. Tiger's ex-wife got half of his half billion dollar fortune despite him having a $25 million prenuptial agreement. I cannot imagine infidelity voiding a pre-nup since side pieces is the main reason for having such an agreement. He had a terrible lawyer.🤣 Nonetheless, while Tiger didn’t want to claim being one...they treated his azz like a black man. Stripped him of everything until they were satisfied with his atonement. Black folks gotta play by their rules and know they will be harshly punished for painting outside the lines. We can't do anything they disagree with and get away with it. Just ask OJ. 😁😎

RichardMurray, I am aware of the incident involving Mr. Zouma, could have watched the video, but chose not to. To answer your question: The answer is YES. Companies can terminate contracts and endorsement deals if public pressure becomes so enormous to do so. Other companies will do this as a pre-emptive measure, to prevent such demands, a drop in stock price or demonstrations outside offices. I don't know when some Black people of note will get it into their heads that the news media, fans and entire countries exhibit a decidedly negative reaction when a Black athlete or celebrity harms an animal, especially a species that is highly favored as a household pet. This does not mean Black people have to be perfect. But it definitely means expect a furious blowback if you are dark-skinned or Black and commit a serious mistake a White person may escape punishment from. That's just the way world is. And kicking dogs and cats are huge no no's in a country like the U.S. where many people value the lives of their pets' above those of People of Color. Look at what Michael Vick went through.

I believe I covered that when I authored these two sentences in a previous comment: No one is handicapping whether the new Ebony magazine will be a financial success. At least I'm not. I hope it succeeds. I also wouldn't be telling the truth if I didn't admit that I cannot wait to read a copy of the new and improved publication. I simply offered folks on here a short treatise on the modern U.S. magazine industry.

What were the BLM chants? “Pigs in a Blanket. Fry them like Bacon!” And what is he wearing on his socks? nuff said.

RichardMurray, Your question is disingenuous. And the reason why is because I believe that you are not part of the magazine publishing industry. Because if you were and had spent any appreciable time in it, you would know that since the advent of the Internet, most publications decided decades ago to eschew print subscriptions only and opt for a mixture of print and online editions. The advantage of online is obvious - a worldwide reach and the editorial ability to update almost at will. A magazine publisher cannot dare to achieve this from just newsstand sales or mailed print editions. So asking if there is a print-only magazine publication that is profitable has no bearing on today's reality. But many magazines, such as People, are owned by conglomerate-corporations, whose many subsidiaries can absorb losses in a certain, but long-standing publications, until changes are made to stop hemorrhaging cash. And a major attempt to stem the flow of red ink just happened to People Magazine's new owner, IAC/InterActive Corp., which is based in New York. From the Feb. 9th edition of the Des Moines Register: "Two months after Dotdash acquired venerable Des Moines magazine publisher Meredith Corp., the shakeup is beginning. "Dotdash Meredith CEO Neil Vogel told employees Wednesday morning that the company will end the print editions of six of the former company’s magazines: EatingWell, Entertainment Weekly, Health, InStyle, Parents and People en Español. "The move, which resulted in 200 layoffs, is the first of the changes Vogel promised after his company, New York-based digital publisher Dotdash, bought Meredith for $2.7 billion. When the companies announced the merger in October, Vogel explained that the new business would blend Dotdash's approach, geared to online searches, with legacy Meredith's decades-old household names, such as Better Homes and Gardens." END DES MOINES REGiSTER NEWS SNIPPET. Dotdash Meredith is a subsidiary of IAC/Interactive Corp., which is owned by corporate (titan or investor or mogul) Barry Diller. The terms are interchangeable in financial publications. (Part of my duties as a Senior News Editor, was fact-checking reporters' work, which included detailing the full corporate name of a business and its headquarter city. One cannot be error prone in financial reporting because of the intense competition and ever-present threat of lawsuits and worse, humiliation by rivals).

On Passive income: “If it were easy everyone would be doing it.” On Active Income: ”Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.” Clichés yes, but I believe then to be true.
