Among the artworks available for viewing is "Swirling Timbers of Chaos," which, for instance, comprises 24,875 unique brushstrokes —a creative outcome of a program Kirby developed inspired by the game of pickup sticks.

New Alvarez & Marsal Fall 2024 Consumer Sentiment Report Highlighting the Impact of Ongoing Consumer Skepticism on Holiday Plans and Winter Spending

Alvarez & Marsal Consumer and Retail Group

· Since the sharp pullback observed during last year's holiday season, consumers have maintained conservative spending habits. · Consumers are demonstrating greater loyalty to stores over brands, challenging the conventional notion of brand loyalty · Shoppers are expected to pull back their spending across all major holiday spending categories this year · Although in-store shopping remains the primary channel, consumers are increasingly gravitating towards online platforms for their holiday purchases Global professional services firm Alvarez & Marsal’s Consumer and Retail Group (A&M CRG) released its latest consumer report, Consumer Sentiment Survey Fall 2024, which analyzes how shifting economic conditions have shaped consumer spending patterns over the past year and explores anticipated spending behaviors for the next six months. This seventh edition of the bi-annual Consumer Sentiment Report draws from a survey of 2,100+ U.S. adults, demographically representative across gender, age, ethnicity, region and income. The report examines evolving consumer behaviors in response to personal finances and economic conditions. It provides insights into shopping priorities across categories, economic conditions, holiday plans, and other key factors influencing purchase decisions for the upcoming fall season, alongside other relevant consumer trends. These insights help retailers optimize inventory, marketing, and pricing while improving their market position. “In today's cost-conscious market, consumers are doing more research and spending less. Retailers must deliver clear value to win their business,” stated Chad Lusk, Managing Director at Alvarez & Marsal’s Consumer and Retail Group. “Consumers are playing it safe with their wallets these days - the fizzle in their optimism since last spring tells us they tightened their belts after the holidays last year and aren't in a hurry to loosen up again. “ The study found that: Consumer outlook for holiday spending is weaker compared to Fall 2023, as consumers anticipate spending less Inflation, interest rates and the job market are the top three macro- economic trends impacting consumer spending decisions Higher income consumers ($100K+) have relatively consistent spending plans, while lower income brackets are planning to spend 13% less this year Higher income households are prioritizing saving, with plans to increase savings by 4% in households making $100K or more. In contrast, lower income households are planning to save 4% less compared to previous periods As consumers look for savvy ways to decrease holiday spending, lower income consumers (<$100K) will purchase less expensive gifts this year while higher income consumers will find other ways to cut back such as waiting for items to go on sale “This holiday season, retailers should be mindful of consumers' cautious approach to spending and adjust their strategies to better align with holiday shopping behaviors and budgets,“ Lusk advised. “To appeal to value-focused consumers, retailers can optimize their omnichannel experience and pricing structure to match evolving shopper priorities and spending plans.” To download a pdf of Consumer Sentiment Survey Fall 2024, please visit: https://alvarezandmarsal-crg.com/insight/consumer-sentiment-survey-fall-2024/ The Alvarez and Marsal Consumer and Retail Group (CRG) is a management consulting firm that tackles the most complex challenges and advances its clients, people, and communities toward their maximum potential.

Media and Democracy Project Urges FCC to Establish a 'Bright-Line Test' with Hearing on FOX Affiliate’s Broadcast License

Media and Democracy Project

Today, the Media and Democracy Project (MAD), joined by a bipartisan coalition of prominent former FCC officials, legal experts, and media advocates, filed further comments with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) urging the agency to designate the WTXF-TV broadcast license application for a hearing. In its filing, the coalition asserts that this matter is not controversial nor political and that action by the Commission is a straightforward application of its statutory obligations. “Our petition is not about speech or political slant—it’s about the deliberate business decision by the Murdochs and Fox to lie to the American people about the 2020 election to protect the company’s profits,” said Brian Hansbury, Co-Founder of the Media and Democracy Project. “That decision cannot be squared with the character requirements of the Communications Act, and the FCC has the opportunity to prove that its public interest policy matters.” The filing argues that this case is “easily distinguishable from routine complaints by politicians about the political slant of a particular channel or classic journalistic prerogatives.” The group calls for the Commission to establish a “bright-line test to provide clear guidance on when a hearing is required.” The filing continues, “[p]roviding this guidance also would be a crowning addition to this Commission’s legacy.” “Commissioner Carr’s recent threat against the broadcast industry (an echo of Trump’s threat against ABC and CBS – against whom there has been no judicial finding) illustrates the importance of this commission adopting a more clear bright line test that invokes the character provision of the communications act only after there has been a judicial finding,” said former Murdoch lobbyist Preston Padden. “If the FCC fails to act, it risks setting a dangerous precedent that undermines its own authority and the public’s trust in broadcast media.” In urging Commission action, the group also called on the FCC to pay particular attention to three passages from earlier informal comments: In an earlier filing from Former FCC Chairman Alfred Sikes, the radio station owner recounted preparing his first application for a station license. It required him to commit to operate in the ‘public interest.’ He recalled wondering whether that language was “just some bureaucratic construct or a legally enforceable requirement.” Later, after serving as Chairman of the Commission, he notes that “the answer is still elusive.” In an informal objection, Former FCC Commissioner Ervin S. Duggan and former Editor of The Weekly Standard Bill Kristol, cited Judge Davis’s findings in US Dominion, Inc. v. Fox News Network, emphasizing that Fox’s behavior “is not consistent with the FCC’s character requirements for broadcast licensees who are supposed to operate their stations in the public interest first and foremost.” The pair continued, “given that the Murdoch/Fox lies contributed to the January 6 riot in the Capitol and duped millions of Americans into believing that the election was stolen, their actions shocked the conscience.” In informal comments from preeminent defender of media First Amendment rights, Floyd Abrams, he recounted his long history of serving as counsel to media organizations whose First Amendment rights were threatened. Notwithstanding that history, Abrams states, “but knowing and repeated distortion of information about a forthcoming election is precisely what a broadcaster may not do, and that the Commission may consider in determining whether license renewal is appropriate.” The joint informal comments were filed by Brian Hansbury, MAD’s Co-founder; Alfred Sikes, former Republican Chairman of the FCC, Ervin S. Duggan, former Democratic FCC Commissioner and former PBS President, William Kristol, longtime Editor of The Weekly Standard, William Reyner, longtime lead regulatory and commercial outside counsel To Murdoch/Fox, and Preston Padden, former executive of Fox Broadcasting Company and former lead lobbyist for Rupert Murdoch/News Corporation/Fox. A copy of the informal comments is available here. A link to a timeline of MAD’s petition is available here. The Media and Democracy Project: MAD is a non-partisan, all-volunteer, grassroots organization focused on strengthening a free and independent media in the public interest. MAD aims to improve our national discourse so that American voters can engage in informed decision-making. As part of that goal, MAD has an interest in the responsibility of journalists and media to report fully, accurately, and fairly on the electoral process and the outcome of elections.

NLPC: Special Counsel Jack Smith Must Close Shop

NLPC

National Legal and Policy Center Counsel Paul Kamenar and Chairman Peter Flaherty issued the statements below regarding the future of federal prosecutions of Donald Trump. “It appears that Special Prosecutor Jack Smith is coming to his senses and preparing to drop the two federal prosecutions against President-elect Donald Trump, ” said Paul Kamenar, counsel to NLPC. Although he vowed this summer to continue the prosecutions up until Inauguration Day if Trump got elected, neither of the two pending prosecutions, one in the District of Columbia for alleged election interference and the other in Florida regarding the classified documents case, could be tried before Trump’s inauguration on January 20, 2025. “The public jury has spoken overwhelmingly on election day that these political prosecutions be dropped,” said Peter Flaherty, NLPC Chairman. Once he becomes President, Trump can order his Acting Attorney General that Jack Smith be fired and the two cases be dismissed plus under Justice Department policy, a sitting president cannot be prosecuted. The most that Jack Smith can do now is write his report and submit it to Congress before he is fired. NLPC has been critical of Jack Smith’s prosecutions since they began. Indeed, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the Florida Mar-a-Lago case based on the unconstitutional appointment of Jack Smith, the very issue which NLPC supported in the legal challenge to Robert Mueller’s appointment in the Russia hoax case. As for the two remaining state cases, Trump lawyers are asking that those cases also be dropped. The sentencing in the biased New York hush money was already postponed to November 17 and there are immunity issues in that case as well stemming from the Supreme Court’s decision granting Trump immunity from criminal prosecution for actions taken in office. The Georgia case is on appeal regarding the legality of prosecutor Fani Willis staying on the case but should also be dismissed. According to Flaherty, “For the sake of the Rule of Law, it is a good thing that Trump won. If he had not, these prosecutions would continue, and future Republican candidates for President and other offices would face a barrage of lawsuits calculated to destroy their candidacies, livelihoods and reputations. Hopefully, the ‘lawfare’ warriors have learned their lesson, and we can return to free and fair elections.” For more information or to schedule an interview with Peter Flaherty or Paul Kamenar, contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or drene@nlpc.org.
