The February 28 Economic Blackout: Will a One-Day Boycott Shake the System?

Americans are fed up with skyrocketing prices, corporate greed, and an economy that seems designed to benefit the elite. In response, a grassroots movement is calling for a nationwide economic blackout on February 28. Led by the People's Union USA, this initiative urges consumers to halt all non-essential purchases from major retailers for 24 hours. The goal? To send a message that unchecked capitalism has consequences.

Founder John Schwarz, alongside notable celebrity supporters, believes that consumer power is the key to change. The movement isn’t just about skipping your usual Starbucks or avoiding Walmart—it’s about disrupting the economic machine that thrives on overconsumption. Supporters are advised to delete retail apps, unsubscribe from brand emails, and even abandon full shopping carts online. If shopping is unavoidable, choosing lesser-known brands that cut into big business market share is another strategy.

The February 28 blackout is just the beginning. A weeklong boycott of Amazon kicks off on March 7, with more planned. The question remains: Can one day without shopping shake the corporate giants, or is a longer-term revolution necessary?

Master P Named President of Basketball Operations at the University of New Orleans—Can He Save the Program?

Master P has built an empire through music, business, and entertainment, but his love for basketball has never wavered. Now, he’s taking on his latest challenge as the President of Basketball Operations at the University of New Orleans.

The No Limit mogul has big plans, vowing to rebuild the program and bring the community back to the team. During his press conference, he reflected on his childhood admiration for the program and his determination to restore its prominence.

But Master P isn’t stepping into an easy situation. The program has been rocked by the suspension of four players amid a sports gambling investigation. Still, he remains undeterred, determined to change the culture and create a legacy of success.

With basketball running deep in his family—his son Mercy Miller setting records and his other son Hercy Miller making headlines—Master P’s influence on the game continues to grow.

Will his leadership turn the tide for the University of New Orleans basketball program? Time will tell, but if there’s one thing Master P knows how to do, it’s defy the odds.

Elon Musk vs. Jon Stewart: The "Daily Show" Showdown is Happening!

The world is about to witness an epic face-off as Elon Musk has agreed to sit down with Jon Stewart on "The Daily Show." The Tesla and SpaceX CEO, who unofficially leads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has been facing criticism for his aggressive approach to cutting government jobs.

Stewart took aim at Musk’s policies in a heated segment that ended with him smashing a mug and injuring his hand—proof of just how intense his frustration is. Social media exploded with demands for Musk to respond, and he finally did, agreeing to appear on the show under one condition: the interview must air unedited. "The Daily Show" wasted no time accepting the offer, ensuring this will be a must-watch event.

Meanwhile, Musk continues to defend his policies, recently doubling down at Trump’s first Cabinet meeting. While critics say he’s dismantling essential public services, Musk argues he's eliminating waste and inefficiency. His recent ultimatum to federal employees—demanding proof of their contributions or face termination—sparked a wave of resignations and controversy.

With tensions high and opinions divided, Musk and Stewart’s conversation is bound to be explosive. Will it be a war of words, or will it shed new light on the battle between government bureaucracy and tech-driven efficiency? Tune in to find out.
