After yesterday's events in the White House, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of
Norway's largest marine fuel companies, appears to have announced that
it will no longer refuel American Navy vessels.

Haltbakk has called on other European companies to refuse service to
American forces.

If true, this would be a big deal! Although, I wonder if they were
doing a ton of refueling.

Maybe Americans will wake up when they realize we are becoming somewhat
of a pariah in world eyes.

But I doubt it ... Americans will continue going to the mall.

Ridiculous! They are a business. I'd have the CEO kicked out if I was
chairman of the board!

And living there...too

Malls are also appealing to Gen Z, who are looking for more "fun,"
according to a National Retail Federation report. That means focusing
on beauty and athleisure stores like Lululemon, said Stephen Lebovitz,
CEO of CBL Properties, which has 55 malls and outlets in its
portfolio. Six of those include multi-family housing that will total
more than 1,500 units, Lebovitz said

A decision like that typically requires board approval. Nice try
though.
