Shutterstock By Alia Hoyt/July 18, 2021 3:15 pm EDT The worldwide supply chain has been long disrupted thanks to the pandemic. Now that it has thoroughly affected Taco Bell, however, people are fully over it. It's one thing for a restaurant chain to run out of something expendable, like sporks. But Taco Bell customers the country over are reporting shortages of everything from chicken and beef to hot and mild sauce. Fresh ingredients, like lettuce and tomatoes, are even in short supply in some stores, says Eat This, Not That! The chain has even had trouble sourcing 10-inch tortillas! Is nothing sacred anymore? The latter was so disturbing that even the New York Post had to throw in on the hysteria, with an article titled, "Taco Bell is facing a tortilla shortage and it might be time to panic." Pandemic-inspired ongoing labor shortages are also contributing to the chain's inability to handle customer demand. Although the supply and labor issues aren't necessarily all Taco Bell's fault, the blowback has nonetheless been swift, resounding, and fierce. Taco Bell "fans" have taken to channels like Reddit and Twitter to voice their displeasure in droves. Twitter users are reporting Taco Bell supply issues Shutterstock Because…

Creative destruction plays a key role in entrepreneurship and economic development. Coined by economist Joseph Schumpeter in 1942, the theory of “creative destruction” suggests that business cycles operate under long waves of innovation. Specifically, as markets are disrupted, key clusters of industries have outsized effects on the economy. Take the railway industry, for example. At the turn of the 19th century, railways completely reshaped urban demographics and trade. Similarly, the internet disrupted entire industries—from media to retail. The above infographic shows how innovation cycles have impacted economies since 1785, and what’s next for the future.

Comments AlisaLolita 11 hours ago A few things: 1. Get an image for your fic. You can do this in many ways, either by using stock photos, photoshop, drawing one yourself or hiring someone to make one for you. Whatever the image is, try to make it as eye-catching and relatable to your fic as possible. 2. When you post about your fic, use that image. Under it, paste the first few paragraphs of your fic, then link to your fic at the end, with the link saying something like: "Read the rest of it here!" This both catches the attention of readers by the image, and gives them a small sample of your writing to see if they're interested, then routes them to your fanfiction, which drives up your numbers. 3. Don't just post your fic over and over, that's spam. This only works if you also partake in the fandom community by reblogging other things and interacting with other fanfiction writers/readers. Reblog fandom art, cute or funny quips, other people's fics, etc. 4. Do what I've listed above *every* time you post a new chapter. 5. As for tags, see what popular blogs in your fandom are using…

Ahead of the Monsoon Session of Parliament, an old issue seems to have surfaced once again - Pegasus spyware.  Even as the Narendra Modi-led government convened an all-party meeting with Opposition leaders on the eve of the Monsoon session of Parliament, news of an alleged report called the "Pegasus Report" on the purported wire-tapping of politicians, ministers and other high-level officials started flying fast and thick. So what is Pegasus? Pegasus is a spyware that was developed by an Israeli "cyber weapons" company named NSO Group.  The first time it hit the news was in 2016 when several iPhone users were believed to be targeted by the software to hack them. While iPhone claimed to fix the vulnerabilities that allowed Pegasus to infiltrate its users' devices, the spyware was later reported to also hack Android devices. What is its connection to India? In India, the app was widely reported in 2019 after complaints about the app allegedly targeting Indian journalists and activists by hacking their devices. According to allegations by messaging app WhatsApp, at least a dozen Indian users including journalists and human rights activists were among those globally spied upon by unnamed entities using an Israeli sypware Pegasus. It said that at…
