04-02-2025 - Years ago, I stopped by a new, locally owned restaurant in my town. I ordered a catfish plate, which arrived with a single fillet. From the start, this guy was trying to maximize profits at the expense of return visits. I never went back. Are you charging the adult price for your products and services but delivering the equivalent of a child's plate?

He also made one for VHS cassette tapes. He even got Walmart to carry them. The CD model is shown below. He died before I could ask about wholesale quantities.
04-02-2025 - From the U.S. Federal Trade Commission - Federal Trade Commission staff sent letters to operators of websites that sell Employer Identification Number (EIN) filing and delivery services warning that some of their practices may violate the FTC Act and the Impersonation Rule, which prohibit posing as or misrepresenting affiliation with a government agency. According to the letters, these services charge consumers up to $300 per EIN even though consumers can obtain EINs for free directly from the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) website. “Impersonating the government is unlawful, period,” said Chris Mufarrige, Director of the Bureau of Consumer Protection. “The FTC is warning businesses that sell services the government provides to review their websites and advertisements for symbols and words that mislead consumers.”
