Ripken Baseball®, the leader in youth sports events and facilities, has expanded its All-Ripken brand by creating All-Ripken Softball. The inaugural All-Ripken Softball Games will attract top youth softball players nationwide to compete at The Ripken Experience® Elizabethtown in Kentucky from July 27-30, 2023. Softball players must be nominated by their peers and coaches for the opportunity to train the Ripken Way, compete against elite young athletes, and participate in a world-class youth softball experience. As part of the 4-day event, participating players will receive instructional opportunities led by professional softball players from the Florida Vibe.

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tfcL-uWQy s Travelport, a global technology company that powers travel bookings for hundreds of thousands of travel suppliers worldwide, and Jamie McDonald, a British adventurer better known as “ Adventureman ”, today announced a new world record – the fastest time to visit the new Seven Wonders of the World, achieved in less than seven days. Confirmed by Guinness World Records, the journey was achieved in 6 days, 16 hours, and 14 minutes, using only public transportation. The challenge was set to Adventureman by Travelport in order to put the company’s modern retail platform, Travelport+, to the test, proving that the company’s technology allows its travel agency partners to simply plan, book and manage even the world’s most complex trip. “When we began upgrading our agency partners to Travelport+ in 2021, it was with the intent of making the complicated travel industry easier and faster to navigate,” said Greg Webb, Chief Executive Officer at Travelport. “This epic adventure was the ultimate test for our platform – could we take the world’s most complex trip and make it simple? Could we ensure it was easy to service? Would the platform be agile enough to accommodate whatever unforeseen bumps the trip encountered? Six days, sixteen hours and fourteen minutes later, we had our answer: yes, yes and yes. This trip also proves that, after a few challenging years for the industry, travel is most definitely back and better than ever.” Travelport+ provides global travel agents with modern retail technology that allows them to compare millions of travel routes and select the best one for each individual traveller. Travelbag, a travel agency who has been a longtime partner of Travelport, booked all aspects of Adventureman’s trip via Travelport+, and they were able to search, filter, find, compare and build the most complex itinerary with ease using Smartpoint Cloud. Adventureman had round-the-clock access to a dedicated Travelbag Travel Specialist who, on his request, tracked evolving travel restrictions, identified schedule changes, and made necessary tweaks to his itinerary in real time. He also was able to access Travelport’s Trip Manager feature on the go, in order to add ancillaries and extras (meals, paid seats, etc.) to his itinerary. For travelers who want to visit one, or all, of the seven modern wonders themselves, Travelbag has a range of packages available, allowing travelers to visit all seven wonders of the world themselves (packages starting from £31,000) or visit an individual wonder (packages starting at £1,300 per person). Depending on each traveler’s individual requirements, Travelbag can tailor-make the perfect holiday. “At Travelbag, we’ve planned and booked thousands of trips, and yet, even we had never seen an itinerary this complex before,” said Caroline Foxwell, Sales and Service Leader at Travelbag. “The retailing tools from Travelport+ are so powerful – Smartpoint Cloud made booking and servicing this trip so easy, it practically did the job for us. Travelport+ helps us to build the perfect itinerary for our clients, time and again, even when that client is a globetrotting, world record-setting superhero!” Adventureman began the trip at the Great Wall of China, the world's longest human-made structure, and the world-record clock started ticking the moment he left the first wonder via toboggan. Second, he visited India’s Taj Mahal – the country’s top tourist destination, which is widely considered a symbol of eternal love. From there, he traveled to Jordan and then by bus to the ancient city of Petra, whose carved rose-red sandstone rock facades, tombs, and temples became even more famous from their role in Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade. Departing Jordan, Adventureman flew to Rome to see its legendary Colosseum, envisioning ancient gladiator battles before he made time for a quick pizza pit stop (the only non-airplane food he consumed during the trip). Christ the Redeemer, the world’s largest art deco statue, brought Adventureman to Brazil, where he was equally in awe of the view from its platform as he was of the statue itself. The sixth wonder, Machu Pichu (an Incan citadel nearly 8,000 feet above sea level) was Adventureman’s favorite: he plans to go back one day and bought a stuffed llama toy there to bring back for his daughter. Finally, after only 6 days, 16 hours and 14 minutes, he reached Chichén Itzá, an archeological site that was a hallowed place of ceremony in the Mayan culture. For Adventureman, a main focus of the record-breaking trip was raising funds for his charity, the Superhero Foundation. As a child, Jamie was diagnosed with a rare spinal condition called syringomyelia, and doctors warned his parents that he might lose the ability to walk. Through the help of many doctors, hospitals and his family, his health improved, starting him on his lifelong mission of giving back to sick kids around the world. To kick start fundraising efforts, Travelport has donated $22,856, a dollar for every mile that Jamie, a Pride of Britain winner, traveled for this challenge. The money will be utilized to continue the charity’s mission: helping families in need fund treatments, therapies and equipment that aren’t freely available to them through their traditional or local healthcare support system. “In my previous adventures, I’ve run solo across America (the equivalent of 210 marathons) and have cycled 22,000 kilometers from Thailand to the United Kingdom, and yet, this was certainly my most complex, complicated trip yet,” said Jamie McDonald, better known as Adventureman. “With travel, there are just so many variables – weather, restrictions, delays, customs, traffic, cancellations, you name it. When you’re attempting to set a world record, speed and agility are absolutely key. There was no other partner besides Travelport that could’ve made this all possible.” For the trip to be endorsed by Guinness World Records, Adventureman had to abide by several rules: Use only scheduled public transportation, with licensed taxi rides unable to exceed 50 kilometers Keep a logbook with clearly indexed evidence (receipts, tickets, etc.) supporting each step Obtain receipts and/or tickets everywhere available Use accurate professional equipment (i.e. GPS tracking equipment) Take videos and photos showing the applicant, the location and the date at each site visited Get a written or recorded statement from an official member of staff, local dignitary and/or police officer at each site Understand that the ‘clock’ starts the moment the challenger leaves the first wonder site, and it does not stop for any reason until the challenger sets foot in the final site Protecting the environment is of the utmost importance to both Travelport and Adventureman. The company calculated the carbon emissions from Adventureman’s trip using using the Travel Impact Model, a shared framework for calculating air travel emissions maintained by Google and developed as part of Travalyst, an independent not-for-profit organization of which Travelport is a member. Travalyst is working to unify industry tools and information to bring sustainable travel to the mainstream. As such, the total CO2 emissions of the world record trip was 2,523 kg. Travelport will remove these emissions with high-quality carbon dioxide removal services from Climeworks.

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/ISQQ6BDbGW0 With the spring buying season in full swing, many Americans are contemplating whether it’s a good time to buy or sell a home. Higher mortgage rates and relentless competition for the few houses on the market are some of the many reasons sellers and buyers should work with an agent who is a REALTOR® to find the right home and negotiate the terms of sale. In fact, according to NAR: Overall, home sales are trying to recover, but they’re heavily influenced by interest rates. Existing-home sales will drop 9.3% this year compared to 2022 but will increase by 15.4% next year. The typical seller receives 3.1 offers on their home, and 33% of homes are selling above list price. NAR expects prices will stabilize, dropping 1.8% this year before improving 2.8% in 2024. Median existing-home prices will mostly stabilize – with the national median existing-home price decreasing by 1.8% in 2023, to around $380,000. Sales in the second half of the year should be notably better than the first half as job gains continue and more favorable mortgage rates are expected. Housing inventory is also expected to remain tight in 2023, with housing starts below historical averages. However, housing starts will increase by 6.9% in 2024. As the market continues to shift, it is important to consult an expert real estate agent who can provide essential guidance to help consumers navigate the homebuying and selling process. In fact, 91% of homebuyers say they would engage their agent again or recommend them to others. Agents who are REALTORS® not only help people achieve the dream of homeownership but also help them create long-term wealth and financial stability for their family. Over the past decade, the median-priced home in the U.S. gained nearly $200,000 in value, making the typical homeowner 40 times wealthier than if they had remained a renter. Additionally, homeowners who benefited from home price appreciation in the last decade saw their debt decrease by 21%. If you’re looking for a REALTOR ® in your area, visit REALTOR.com.

The Instagram app is one of the few social media platforms that has stood the test of time. It continues to evolve with new features like the Instagram Reels tab, which brands small and large rely on to get more views and new followers. In this blog post, we’ll look at 5 of the best sites you can rely on to buy Instagram Reels video views in 2023. Use them as you make more Instagram Reels and you will get as many video views as you need. Let's get started! The 5 Best Places To Buy Instagram Reel Views Here are 5 of the best sites that can help you get Instagram Reels views whether you’re an individual user, a small business, or even a global brand: 🥇 BuyTopLikes - Overall Best 🥈 SocialBoss - Best For Affordability 🥉 SocialsGrow - Best For Fast Service SocialsUp - Best For Customer Support ViralGrowing - Best For Privacy While many questionable websites claim to offer the same services, these 5 are the most legitimate ones available in 2023. Better yet, they provide Active Instagram users to follow you so you never violate Instagram's terms. How To Choose The Best Instagram Reels Views Service Before we take a detailed look at the best sites to buy views for Instagram Reels, you must first understand how to decide which is best for you. Here are the things you should consider when choosing a service: Packages offered: When you want to buy Instagram Reel views, look for a site that offers many different packages. Typically, these packages provide views in multiples of 50 or 100, so choose one that suits your needs and budget. Some might even offer more than Instagram Reels views, like selling you more followers. Pricing: Naturally, pricing is another thing to consider. The best site for you is one that offers options that fit your budget. Payment methods: The best sites offer plenty of ways to pay for your Instagram reel views. Aside from credit card payments, the leading ones now accept cryptocurrency payments for added privacy and security. Speed: Remember that the IG reel views you buy must be delivered gradually, so Instagram views it as organic traffic. On the one hand, you don’t want a service that delivers all your views too quickly. On the other hand, however, they should also not take too long to deliver them either. Customer support: There’s always a tiny chance you’ll have questions or problems when trying to buy Instagram Reels views. The best sites will offer excellent customer support options so you can get the help you need to resolve those issues quickly. As you’ll see below, these are the same considerations we took when finding today's best sites to buy Instagram Reels likes and views. Now, let’s take a more detailed look at our picks for the 5 best sites to buy Instagram Reels views in 2023. 1. BuyTopLikes Review - Overall Best Let’s begin by reviewing our pick for the Overall Best Reel Views Instagram service provider, BuyTopLikes. This one earns its place in the number one spot because it excels in the packages it offers, pricing and payment methods, speed of delivery, and customer support options. Here’s a closer look at what they have to offer: Packages Offered Firstly, BuyTopLikes has one of the most impressive offerings of packages that customers can choose from. For example, when you want to submit an Instagram Reel Views Buy order, you can choose from packages with as few as 200 views up to 500,000 views! Better yet, they have packages in multiples of thousands (e.g. 1,000, 2,500, 5,000 views) for you to choose from. In other words, they have packages catering to small businesses and large organizations alike! Pricing And Payment Pricing is also competitive on this site, with the smallest package starting at $1.29 for 500 views. You’ll also find that the site offers discounted prices that get larger when you choose a bigger package. Besides that, this service provider also lets you choose from a long list of payment methods. That includes credit cards, Google Pay, Apple Pay, and even top cryptocurrencies. Speed As you read earlier, quicker isn’t necessarily better regarding Instagram views. In addition, the bought Instagram Reels views must be delivered gradually to avoid violating Instagram’s terms. Still, BuyTopLikes will deliver your desired Reel video views within a time frame of 5 to 30 minutes or 1 to 2 days, depending on the package you choose. Better yet, delivery happens in such a way that it always appears organic to Instagram and prevents triggering any unwanted issues. Customer Support Lastly, BuyTopLikes earns its place as the best service provider thanks to its Customer Support offerings. You can contact them quickly via email or by filling out the contact form on their website. Then, their dedicated Customer Support team will contact you ASAP to answer your questions or resolve your issues. 2. SocialBoss Review - Best For Affordability Individual users, small businesses, and large corporations have limited budgets to buy Instagram Reel Views. That’s why SocialBoss is our pick for the site offering the best affordability for anyone with tight Instagram marketing budgets. Let’s take a closer look at what they have to offer: Packages Offered Like all top service providers, SocialBoss offers plenty of different packages. Their smallest package starts at 100 Instagram Reels views and goes to 1,000,000 views, their largest offering. Between the smallest and largest packages, there are plenty of different multiples you can choose from as well. Pricing And Payment SocialBoss earns its place on this list as one of the best sites because of its affordability. Its smallest Instagram Reels views package only charges a small amount of $0.89 for 50 views, which certainly fits anyone’s budget! Even their largest package of a million views is only $739.99, much more affordable than many other sites offering the same service. Unsurprisingly, they also offer plenty of payment methods to choose from. That includes credit cards, Google and Apple Pay, and top cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ether. Speed SocialBoss is also quite competitive when it comes to delivery times. Smaller packages can take up to 24 hours or even 60 mins. Still, packages of 500,000 views and above require at least a day or two to complete organically. Still, it’s best to let these things happen over an extended period instead of an instant delivery to avoid violating Instagram’s terms. Customer Support SocialBoss Customer Support is available daily from 9 am to 6 pm in the London (GMT+1) timezone. You can reach them via the online form on their website or by email. You can even call them directly on their Hotline if you need to speak to someone more urgently. 3. SocialsGrow Review - Best For Fast Service If speed is of the essence, then you’ll want to consider SocialsGrow. This site has been around for quite some time and has built a positive reputation. But as you’ll see below, they’re most well-known for their ability to provide fast service at reasonable prices. Here’s more about them: Packages Offered SocialsGrows offers plenty of packages buying views and for customers, with their smallest being 200 views. Their largest package is 500,000 views, which isn’t the largest among the sites on this list but is still pretty good. Pricing And Payment Price-wise, you can expect to pay at least $ 0.79 for the smallest package of 200 Instagram Reels views from real accounts. However, as you’ll see throughout this guide, that’s a pretty competitive price compared to the other service providers. Unsurprisingly, this site offers the same wide range of payment options that you’ll find on the other leading sites. That includes credit cards, Google Pay, Apple Pay, and top cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Speed Of course, SocialsGrow stands out from the other sites on this list thanks to how fast they deliver customer orders. For example, you can expect to receive your Instagram Reels views within 15-30 minutes for smaller packages of 200-5,000 views. That’s pretty impressive, especially when compared to other sites offering the same service. Even their larger packages of 10,000-250,000 views are equally impressive, promising delivery in less than 24 hours! Those are delivery speeds that few can match, including the best and most competitive sites we’ve reviewed. Customer Support High speeds mean very little without good customer support. Thankfully, that’s not a problem with SocialsGrow, which makes it very easy to get in touch with them if you need to. You can contact them through the online form on their website or by emailing them. Their Customer Support team is very quick at responding to any messages you send. So, you can rest assured that any issues you face will be dealt with quickly. 4. SocialsUp Review - Best For Customer Support Some customers naturally prefer businesses that prioritize customer support above all else. If that sounds like you, then SocialsUp is definitely a site that you’ll want to check out. They are pretty impressive in all the areas we’ve considered. Still, their Customer Support offering is much better than all the rest. See what they have to offer: Packages Offered Firstly, let’s look at the packages SocialsUp offers. Their smallest package is for 100 Instagram Reels views at $0.89, a good offer at a competitive price compared to the other best sites in this review. Unlike some others, though, their largest package is a whopping 1,000,000 views for only $739.99! That package is larger than some others offer and is also done at a pretty impressive price. Of course, these views come from real profiles and offer a Money-Back Guarantee if you’re not pleased with the outcome. Pricing And Payment There’s no denying that SocialsUp has some of the most competitive prices around. As you read in the previous section, their smallest package is 100 views from real accounts for only $0.89, and their largest is only $739.99 for a million views. At both ends of the spectrum, their prices are competitive and offer some of the best value. The same is also true with their accepted payment methods. For example, Visa and Mastercard are accepted, as are digital payment options like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Google Pay and Apple Pay. Speed The speed at which SocialsUp delivers customer orders is also impressive. They match well with the other best sites covered in this guide. For example, smaller views packages are delivered within minutes, while larger ones only require 2-4 days for a million or more views. Of course, these views are delivered gradually, so they don’t trigger any issues with Instagram. Customer Support Now comes the highlight of SocialsUp: their customer service offering. They’re contactable through email and their website’s online form. But those aren’t the best parts. Instead, SocialsUp is our Best For Customer Support choice because of its live chat feature. It’s called “SMM Helper”, an automated chat function that helps customers with whatever issue they face. Firstly, having an automated chat function like that ensures that all customers will get the help they need, no matter how busy the Customer Support team might be. More importantly, the new feature is well-designed and incredibly responsive. In most cases, you’ll get the answers you need with the automated chat. But if you don’t, you can always contact a human Customer Support representative for help. 5. ViralGrowing Review - Best For Privacy All of the service providers you see on this list offer their customers a certain degree of security and privacy. However, ViralGrowing is a top service that takes privacy a step further, offering customers a more private and secure experience than any other. Check out what they have to offer: Packages Offered ViralGrowing’s packages begin at 100 views from real and active users costing only $0.89. On the other hand, their largest package is 1,000,000 views for $739.99. Both prices are competitive, and you’ll find little difference when comparing them to other top service providers. But here’s where they stand out: ViralGrowing takes privacy and security very seriously. They do not require account passwords or direct access to your Instagram profile. On top of that, all of the Reels views come from accounts that are manually operated to ensure they only do what they’re supposed to do. Lastly, their entire website is Norton Secured. That means the website you use to place orders and input payment information is scanned daily for vulnerabilities and malware. Overall, you can rest assured that your privacy and security are guaranteed at every step. Pricing And Payment As you read earlier, there’s not much to say about the pricing on this website. That’s because their prices are some of the best in the industry, comparable to other top websites offering the same quality services. In other words, you’ll certainly get your money’s worth when using ViralGrowing. Besides that, you also have several payment options, like credit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. On top of that, you can also choose to increase your security and privacy by using cryptocurrency payment options instead. The site accepts Bitcoin and Ethereum payments, which offer you a higher degree of anonymity as no payment information is shared. Speed ViralGrowing delivers all customer orders gradually but at very impressive speeds. While smaller packages only take a few minutes to be delivered, larger ones take about 2 days to finish. As always, gradual delivery is necessary to prevent unwanted issues with Instagram. Customer Support Lastly, you can always expect to have the Customer Support you need when you want to buy Reels views from ViralGrowing. Aside from an email address you can contact, they also have a hotline number you can dial for a much quicker response. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) It’s only normal to have questions before buying Reels views, especially if you’re a first-time customer. Don’t worry, though. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about these services: What Are Instagram Reels? Before you buy IG Reels views, you must first understand what the Instagram Reels feature is all about. Instagram Reels is a new feature allowing users to create 90-second videos, add music, and more. They're similar to Instagram Stories but with longer durations. Many people watch Instagram Reels videos, causing it to become a popular feature that many businesses use to capture their audience’s attention. Why Should You Be Buying Instagram Reels Views? You should buy real Instagram Reels views to help gain attention from your target audience to the videos you post. That’s an excellent way to quickly market your business to a broader audience. When people see that your Instagram Reels have a high view count, they’ll be more interested to see those Reels likes and videos themselves. That raises the chance of the same Reel appearing on the Instagram explore page. Is It Illegal To Buy Instagram Reels Views? No, it’s not illegal to buy real Instagram Reels views or Instagram followers. There are no laws against paying to have more traffic go to your Instagram account or the Instagram Reels you post. However, you must ensure that you buy them from reputable service providers like the ones mentioned in this guide. The best ones will deliver those views correctly, so Instagram views them as organic views instead of fake views. Can You Go Viral By Purchasing Reels Views On Instagram? Yes, you can go viral by purchasing Instagram Reels views. When a Reel has a high view count, many real users will be interested to see more impressions of what the video is all about. But, of course, you must post high-quality content and exciting Reels to begin with. Buying views will bring more traffic to your videos and potentially cause them to go viral quickly. That can be useful for businesses engaging with active users in Instagram Marketing and and on other social media platforms, too. Do You Have To Give Your Password To Buy Instagram Reels Views? No, you do not need to give anyone your password to buy views Reels. You’ll likely need to share your Instagram username and make your Instagram profile public so the organic traffic can come to your Instagram Reels, but sharing your password is never necessary. Remember: never trust a buy reel views Instagram service provider that requests your password. They likely sell fake views and fake followers instead of the ones from real users. Is It Safe To Buy Instagram Reels Video Views? Yes, it is safe to buy IG Reels views as long as you do so from a reputable provider offering high-quality services. They offer organic views and avoid fake accounts, so you can create short videos that the Instagram algorithm will discover. You don’t have to look far to buy Instagram reel likes or explore page views; the best sites are already mentioned in this guide. Get Your Instagram Reels Video Views Now!

National Legal & Policy Center
Today, Peter Flaherty, Chairman of the National Legal and Policy Center issued the following statement: "The trespassing charge has been dropped, but I never should have been arrested. Nor should I have been handcuffed, fingerprinted, brought to jail, and detained for three hours. Berkshire Hathaway’s silencing of me is an ominous precedent for the rights of shareholders in public companies that cannot be allowed to stand. I did not just wander into the Berkshire shareholders meeting, nor did the incident occur during a question-and-answer session. I was a scheduled speaker, whose name appeared on the agenda, to speak in support of Proposal #8 for an independent chair. The proposal appeared in the proxy and for weeks shareholders had been voting on it. It was the subject of a detailed proxy memo we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 21. As far as I know, the arrest of a shareholder during a proposal presentation has never before occurred at the annual meeting of a public company in the United States. Shareholder activists of the past such as Wilma Soss (the basis for the Carol Burnett “cleaning lady” character) and Evelyn Y. Davis often challenged and certainly annoyed CEOs, but their microphones were never cut and they were certainly never arrested. I have spoken at the annual meetings of dozens of public companies over the past 19 years. My demeanor at the Berkshire meeting was no different from any other. There was no reason to throw me out except that I came too close to the truth. Additional revelations about Bill Gates and Jeffrey Epstein since the meeting confirm the importance of the issue I sought to raise, namely the reputational risk to Berkshire Hathaway by having one individual hold both the Chairman and CEO positions, especially if that person is so closely identified with particular causes and personalities. The whole point of the shareholder proposal process is to allow shareholders critical of management an avenue to change corporate policy. To simply silence and arrest a shareholder who disagrees with management stands the whole concept of having public shareholders on its head. If Warren Buffett thinks that since he owns 15% of Berkshire shares, that he can act with impunity, he is mistaken. Shareholders have rights, and I intend to enforce mine." Founded in 1991, NLPC promotes ethics in public life and government accountability through research, investigation, education, and legal action.

National Legal & Policy Center
As shareholders are set to attend annual meetings over the next week for McDonald’s Corporation and Walmart Inc., National Legal and Policy Center will ask fellow investors to support its proposals to provide greater transparency about the companies’ risks of doing business in China. NLPC will present “Communist China Risk Audit” proposals at the meetings, which seek reports to shareholders that address “the nature and extent to which corporate operations depend on, and are vulnerable to, communist China….” The McDonald’s proposal is No. 7 on Page 93 of the company’s proxy statement. For Walmart, NLPC’s proposal is No. 11 on Page 116 of its proxy statement. Both companies oppose NLPC’s proposals. In response, NLPC filed rebuttals at the Securities and Exchange Commission in support of its resolutions to be considered at the McDonald’s meeting, to be held May 25, and at Walmart’s meeting, scheduled for May 31. Read NLPC’s SEC filing for McDonald’s here, and for Walmart here. NLPC’s report to the SEC on McDonald’s outlines some of the risks inherent in doing business in China, and notes: McDonald’s 2023 first quarter [report] states that “(financial) results reflected strong operating performance across the (International Developmental Licensed Markets & Corporate) segment, led by Brazil and China.” China is a clear driver of McDonald’s business performance, making its reliance on China a critical risk, as there are a number of factors that could harm the company The United Nations calls on companies to “provide information that is sufficient to evaluate the adequacy of an enterprise’s response to the particular human rights impact involved.” If McDonald’s is being “guided” by this principle and is already discussing significant risk exposures using “robust risk management program,” then a report…should be easy to deliver and provide investors with meaningful insights. An excerpt of NLPC’s filing for Walmart states: The magnitude of its risk in China is not comparable to the general business risks (already) disclosed by Walmart, many of which are indistinguishable from the disclosures made by other public companies. China-specific risks are present across many parts of Walmart’s business… Walmart has invested a considerable amount in its Chinese infrastructure. Thus, potential disruptions due to political, economic, regulatory, or health issues could negatively impact Walmart’s investments in the region. China is McDonald’s second-largest market, with more than 5,000 restaurants representing nearly 13 percent of its total locations. The communist nation is Walmart’s fourth-largest market, behind the United States, Central America, and Canada, with 365 stores representing nearly seven percent of its international locations. “Considering the extent of revenue generated and supply chain that is dependent on China, McDonald’s and Walmart owe their shareholders more transparency and specificity about their respective risks in the extensive amount of business they do there,” said Paul Chesser, director of NLPC’s Corporate Integrity Project. “Between human rights atrocities and Chairman Xi Jinping’s saber-rattling against Taiwan, the feasibility of continuing operations there may be tenuous. We urge their boards of directors to disclose more.” Founded in 1991, NLPC promotes ethics in public life and government accountability through research, investigation, education, and legal action. ### For more information or to schedule an interview with Paul Chesser, contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or drene@nlpc.org.

By Jad Malaeb, Benzinga According to S&P Global Market Intelligence, December 2022 marked the end of the “ worst quarter since 2009 barring lockdown months” in terms of global business activity. The observation also reflects in the broad investor sentiment one quarter into 2023 – one of slow growth and volatile markets. The Standard & Poor 500 Index, a popular market proxy, began 2023 with a monthly rise of 6.18% in January. Since this encouraging start, however, the index has failed to maintain momentum, dropping 2.61% in February and gaining roughly 2% in March. The market teeters slightly above yearly highs while investors await the conclusion of a banking crisis triggered by Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse and rising interest rates driven by the Federal Reserve.
