Rejected video for 23andMe post
Mar. 25th, 2025 09:08 amRejected video for Forever 21 post
Mar. 19th, 2025 10:13 amThis was too obviously stock footage clickbait for me to included it in Forever 21 files for bankruptcy and will close all U.S. stores, a tale of the Retail Apocalypse.
A link that influenced today's post
Dec. 19th, 2024 12:38 pmBefore I wrote Company Man asks 'The Decline of California Pizza Kitchen...What Happened?' A tale of the Retail Apocalypse and pandemic, I read Why Are All These Pizza Chain Restaurants Filing For Bankruptcy? I didn't include it in my post, but maybe I should have.
Postponed video for Black Friday post
Nov. 29th, 2024 12:05 pmWhile this is more on topic for the Retail Apocalypse, I decided I liked the subject of Company Man explains 'Walmart - Why They're Hated' for Black Friday/Buy Nothing Day more. Maybe later.
I decided on 'Bankrupt - Borders Book Store' by Bright Sun Films, a tale of the Retail Apocalypse for Wayback Wednesday instead. I might use it in a future post.
Too long video for 'The Big Fail' post
Dec. 16th, 2023 01:53 pmI didn't include the following video in The authors of 'The Big Fail' interviewed, a pandemic post-mortem and update, but I listened to it while I wrote the post.
I found a more slickly produced local news clip for Rite Aid declares bankruptcy, a tale of the Retail Apocalypse and opioid crisis.
Discarded video for UAW strike post
Sep. 15th, 2023 10:58 amI was going to use this as the final video in UAW goes on strike against Detroit's Big Three automakers, but reached a stopping point before where I was planning on embedding it, so it goes here.
Rejected video for Hollywood strikes posts
Sep. 7th, 2023 08:43 amI found more focused videos for the series of posts beginning with Examinations of the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes leading into the Labor Day weekend.
I replaced this video with one having more depth and perspective in CNBC on Detroit's bankruptcy, ten years later.
I thought about including the following video in CNBC explains 'How The U.S. Is Stalling A Recession', but wrote an end to the post before I could use it.
I decided to wait until today to post Bed Bath & Beyond files for bankruptcy, a tale of the Retail Apocalypse because I expected I'd find better videos.
Rejected video for SVB collapse post
Mar. 18th, 2023 03:05 pmI decided I didn't need the following video to conclude Wall Street Journal and CNBC explain the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. I had a better ending already.
Rejected video for Nobel Prize Day post
Dec. 10th, 2022 03:04 pmI wanted something more explanatory and less opinionated for Time introduces the 2022 Nobel Prize winners plus the Innovator of the Year for Nobel Prize Day.
...but I went in the direction of the possibility that the hurricane season will stop the slide in gas prices instead of talking about demand destruction in Average gas price falls below $4.00, a driving update.
