Starbucks Red Cup Day is here β€” but getting your coffee won't be easy

If you were thinking of scoring your free Starbucks Red Cup Nov. 16, it might not be as easy as you'd think. Besides limited stocks and what will likely be a hoard of consumers looking to score the reusable freebie on Starbucks Red Cup Day, many of Starbucks' staffers may be on strike that day. The company's workers union, Starbucks Workers United, has been pushing its members to strike on the massive Starbucks promo day in what the group is calling the "Red Cup Rebellion." The union has been clamoring for fairer contracts for a while, but it is particularly pushing a strike on Red Cup Day due to what its website describes as "one of the most infamously hard, understaffed days for the baristas that work them."Related: Starbucks introduces genius holiday collaboration In a post on its X (formerly Twitter) account, one Starbucks worker explained why this day is particularly difficult for the workers. She said that Starbucks "staffs us poorly" during the day where many customers are looking to gain a freebie that's of limited supply. "The general public is given one day to purchase the red cup, resulting in frustrated, angry customers who lash out and yell at employees. And occasionally, Starbucks workers have complained about getting injured from being pushed to perform an extremely fast-paced level for an insane influx of customers," the worker said.why are THOUSANDS of starbucks baristas going on ULP strike for #RedCupRebellion this week?hear a partner from one store in seattle explain: pic.twitter.com/MME4saGe59β€” Starbucks Workers United (@SBWorkersUnited) November 14, 2023 Related: Starbucks holiday cups & Red Cup Day 2023: Evolution, controversy, and how to get one It's unclear though how many stores will be affected by the strike during the big promotion day. The Starbucks Workers United website says that over 360 stores across the country unionized. However, this may be a small number versus as there are over 16,000 Starbucks branches across the country, according to data website ScrapeHero.

*Toyota's newest version of a beloved model takes a giant leap toward an electric future*

Even if you are not a so-called "car person," you cannot deny the existence and the impact of the Toyota TM Camry on American motorists. Toyota's bestselling four-door sedan has a decades-long reputation for being a trusty and reliable car owned by a variety of people, whether it be friends, family, neighbors or even Uber or Lyft drivers. However, starting next year, Toyota's bread-and-butter sedan will be making a major shift for its buyers. The New Camry The Japanese auto giant revealed the all-new 2025 Toyota Camry at the Los Angeles Auto Show on November 14, featuring brand new styling both inside and out. View the original article to see embedded media. On the outside, the Camry sets itself distinctly apart from rivals like the Honda Accord on looks alone. The updated model gets a new futuristic face inspired by its freshly redesigned hybrid sibling β€” the Prius, with a sleek nose, large aggressive grille, as well as LED accent lights to lead the way up front. Inside is all business, as large screens for both the infotainment and the gauges dominates the dashboard and are at fingertips reach for both driver and passenger. Toyota claims that the seats on the new Camry are more comfortable, and will also come in a variety of improved materials from the cloth on base models to the color-combo leather on higher trim models. However, the most radical change to the Camry is what is under the hood. Gone is the 3.5 liter V6 that can also be found under the hood of the Lotus Evora, and gone is the standard 4-cylinder; you can have any Camry you like, as long as it is a hybrid. View the original article to see embedded media. No matter the trim level, all Camrys for the 2025 model year will feature Toyota's fifth-generation hybrid system, known as THS 5. Under the hood, a 2.5 liter four-cylinder is paired with dual electric motors to make 225 horsepower. According to Toyota, this new hybrid setup is lighter and more compact and efficient than its previous systems. In comparison, Honda's HMC rival sedan, the Accord, dropped its V6 option in lieu of a 2-liter four-cylinder hybrid setup that makes a combined 204 horsepower and up to 48 combined miles per gallon, but still has an option of a non-hybrid model. Mileage figures for the new Camry have not been shared by Toyota. More Technology:The company behind ChatGPT is now facing a massive lawsuitProminent EV company says latest deal will be the first of manyApple makes a big new move with Elon Musk's Twitter In addition to the hybrid system, the Camry has another distinct feature that separates it from the Accord, with available all-wheel-drive that will be an option on every trim level of the sedan. Pricing for the new model may come closer to its rollout to dealerships, which starts in the spring of 2024. Currently, the MSRP of Toyota's Camry Hybrid is $28,855, while the normal Camry sits at $26,420 - about $2,435 more.

*Radio Flyer's Tesla-themed Cyberquad ATV makes comeback*

If at first you don't succeed, redesign your product. Back in December 2021, Radio Flyer's Model 914 Cyberquad for Kids was flying high. Related: Tesla bulls and bears agree on one important point The toy company best known for its iconic red wagon said the Cyberquad, an homage to the electric vehicle maker's Cybertruck, "sold out in minutes." But then things went south. In 2022, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said Radio Flyer, was recalling the Cyberquad due to violation of federal youth ATV safety standards. β€œThe Cyberquad fails to comply with the federal mandatory safety standard requirements for youth ATVs, including mechanical suspension and maximum tire pressure,” the commission said in its recall notice.Revised warning label At the time, the commission said that Radio Flyer had received one report of an incident where the single-rider Cyberquad tipped over when driven by an eight-year-old child and a 36-year-old adult female, resulting in a bruised left shoulder to the adult female. The recall order was dated Oct. 27, the same day Tesla TSLA CEO Elon Musk tweeted the fateful words "The bird is free" to let the world know that he had finalized his acquisition of Twitter β€” now known as X β€” after a six-month struggle. Roughly 5,000 units of the Cyberquad for Kids had been sold, the CPSC said. So it was back to the drawing board, and on Nov. 14, Radio Flyer launched the Model 915 Cyberquad for Kids, an updated version of the Model 914 β€” and just in time for the holidays. The latest version of the battery powered ride-on toy includes several product updates to deliver the best experience for riders, meeting all Consumer Product Safety Commission requirements and ASTM F963 Toy Safety Standards. These updates include replacing the rear spring with a steel tube with rubber-coated metal inserts that secures the rear frame to the main frame; an updated age grade of 9-12 years old; a revised warning label applied to the front left fender and a warning label that states that the product is not for off-road use and is not a youth ATV.Updating new model There is also a tire inflation warning label applied to the front left fender. "Our award-winning product development team has worked closely with the Tesla Design Studio to update this new model, which we know has been highly anticipated by our customers," Robert Pasin, Radio Flyer's Chief Wagon Officer, said in a statement. The new and improved ride-on features the same sturdy steel frame, high-pressure rubber air tires, a 500-watt motor with a max speed of 10 MPH, and Radio Flyer's Flight Speed Lithium-Ion battery technology, which the company said provides the longest run time and fastest recharge time compared with other products on the market. The Cyberquad for Kids by Radio Flyer Model 915 is available for purchase now exclusively on the Tesla Shop while supplies last and is listed for $1,900. A version of the Cyberquad for Kids went on sale in China earlier this year, which was priced at 11,990 Yuan, or roughly $1,700. As for the Cybertruck, deliveries of the long-awaited luxury EV SUV will begin to select customers starting Nov. 30, before the vehicle enters full production next year at its Texas Gigafactory.

*Another airline is quietly cracking down on lounge access*

As seen in the uproar over the last few months, Delta Air lines’ DAL decision to make stricter rules for accessing its lounges has ricocheted all throughout the travel world. Many passengers expressed a sense of betrayal while some airlines saw opportunity to win them over by matching their frequent flyer status and making jabs about how they were β€œmaking it easier” to earn points while others are β€œmaking it harder.”Related: It happened: Delta just cracked down on who can enter lounges While Delta’s CEO later admitted the airline β€œprobably went too far” in pushing forth the changes and raised the number of times one can access its SkyClub lounges, the airline is staying firm in its decision to introduce caps on visits in the first place. The reasons ultimately come down to many SkyClub lounges growing crowded as more travelers found ways to gain access and the airline not having the resources to maintain the β€œluxury” experience it wants associated with its lounges. In the summer of 2022, photos of crowded airport lounges started circulating on social media. Alaska Airlines planes stand at airport gates. Shutterstock Here is who will be able to enter Alaska Airlines lounges in 2024 But as the scandal around Delta started to die down, another airline quietly made big changes to its lounge and loyalty policy. As broken by Travel + Leisure, Alaska Airlines ALK is raising the price of its β€œAlaska Lounge” program from $400 to $500 for elite members and from $500 to $600 for non-elite ones. Elite status starts after earning 20,000 miles flying with the airline. More Travel:A new travel term is taking over the internet (and reaching airlines and hotels)The 10 best airline stocks to buy nowAirlines see a new kind of traveler at the front of the plane The airline is also restricting those who can access nine of its lounges at airports across the country to those with a same-day ticket with Alaska or a partner airline. Previously, members with a same-day ticket with any airline could access the lounge. The price of Alaska Lounge+ tier, which gives members access both to the nine Alaska lounges and 90 partner lounges across the country, is being raised from $550 to $650 a year for elite members and $650 to $750 for non-elite ones. The changes will come into effect in February 2024.Alaska Airlines wants to β€˜allow for a bit more elbow room’ (here’s what it means for you) Alaska had already trimmed down its loyalty membership at the start of 2023 by limiting lounge access to those whose flight distance was more than 2,100 miles and launching a discounted $30 day pass rate for those with shorter flights. At the time, it also raised the prices of the different loyalty programs by $50 each. Similarly to Delta, Alaska had described the changes as necessary to give travelers β€œa bit more elbow room.” It has, however, largely managed to escape the outcry that befell on Delta. β€œLounges have become so popular during certain times of the day, we're making adjustments to our complimentary First Class access policy to allow for a bit more elbow room,” the airline said in a statement in November 2022. β€œWe know change can be difficult – but we need to adjust how we operate our Lounges to ensure our guests have the best experiences possible when they visit.

*Key investor identifies the surprising company that belongs among the Magnificent 7*

2023 has been the year of artificial intelligence. The release of ChatGPT last year set off a frantic race between Big Tech giants and start-ups alike to develop and release better iterations of AI technology. And Wall Street has been in the throes of ongoing excitement over the potential of AI; shares of Nvidia NVDA, the semiconductor company that makes AI tech possible, skyrocketed this year on AI-fueled excitement. The Big Tech sector, powered by investor excitement over AI, has been so strong this year that a cluster of the biggest names have been grouped together under the moniker: the Magnificent Seven. Made up of Nvidia, Apple AAPL, Tesla TSLA, Microsoft MSFT, Meta META, Google GOOGL and Amazon AMZN, each of the seven has strong exposure to and potential with AI. Related: If Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had a chance to do it all again, he wouldn't Deepwater's Gene Munster, who has been quite bullish about the Magnificent Seven, said that if he were to add an eighth company to the bundle, it would be an easy choice: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC) TSM. If Nvidia sells the building blocks to the AI revolution, Munster told CNBC, TSMC sells the clay. "They are at the very foundation of all these companies," Munster said. TSMC, with a market cap of more than $500 billion, has surged throughout November, hitting a share price of $99 at last check Wednesday. The company last week reported better-than-expected sales for October, noting a 15.7% year-over-year increase in revenue to roughly $7.5 billion, a 34.8% month-to-month increase. Between January and October, the company reported more than $56 billion in revenue, a 3.7% increase from the year-ago period. "All these companies, Apple needs them; Nvidia is a big customer. The beautiful thing about TSMC is that they're just going to benefit," Munster said. "If you believe in AI, you have to own TSMC." Munster noted that only about 6% of TSMC's current business is related to AI, which gives them plenty of room to grow quickly over the next five years. The company said in October that it expects a gross profit margin of at least 51.5% for the current quarter. The stock is up around 32% for the year; Microsoft shares are up 54%, Google is up 51% and Tesla is up 98%.Related: Key investor on why Nvidia has tainted Big Tech stocks Get investment guidance from trusted portfolio managers without the management fees.

Between January and October, the company reported more than $56 billion in revenue, a 3.7% increase from the year-ago period. "All these companies, Apple needs them; Nvidia is a big customer. The beautiful thing about TSMC is that they're just going to benefit," Munster said. "If you believe in AI, you have to own TSMC." Munster noted that only about 6% of TSMC's current business is related to AI, which gives them plenty of room to grow quickly over the next five years. The company said in October that it expects a gross profit margin of at least 51.5% for the current quarter. The stock is up around 32% for the year; Microsoft shares are up 54%, Google is up 51% and Tesla is up 98%.Related: Key investor on why Nvidia has tainted Big Tech stocks Get investment guidance from trusted portfolio managers without the management fees.
