#or the huge impact of Covid on the production budget

This is going to be a rant about shows being cancelled and the state of streaming services and media.

I'm mad about Warrior Nun being canceled. I'm mad about First Kiss. I'm mad about Gentleman Jack, Legends of Tomorrow (and the whole lot of DC shows), The Owl House, Charmed. Older canceled shows like One Day at a Time, Dark Matter, Wonderfalls, Sweet/Vicious, the Hulu & Freeform Marvel shows (The Runaways, Cloak & Dagger), Teenage Bounty Hunters, Adventure Time, Steven Universe, Wynonna Earp. Carnival. Warehouse 13. STUMPTOWN! I'm never going to stop screaming about the tragedy of that one. There are tons more. I don't have hours to list them all.

It sucks when a good show gets canceled. It sucks when you look for more content, and all you can find is the same show starring the same kind of tough, cishet, white dude that's in its seventh season and has three spinoffs. There is never an abundance of queer content. It feels like there is when we get lucky enough to have multiple shows in a year, but it's nothing compared to cishet content.

Things began to change with Netflix a few years before COVID. I want to point to COVID and blame it for everything, and it certainly did have a big impact on production costs, but the fact is that Netflix (specifically) has been reluctant to have any show last for more than two or three seasons because then it has to pay everyone more. They'd rather cancel and start up a new show.

There's a problem with streaming services and access in general, though. You've probably started to watch an older show on Netflix (one that they license) and found that it would be leaving the service at the end of the month. It might be available on another service, or it might not be available anywhere.

And then there's the issue of licensing.

If you have a physical copy because the company who produced it included selling physical media in the deal or budget for the show, you can always rewatch it and relive the good times. But if it's a streaming-only show, there's a very low chance it will ever be legally sold on physical media.

Remember the Marvel shows on Netflix? I want to own more than one season of Jessica Jones. Guess how many seasons were released on disc? If you guessed "one," then you are correct. Even Daredevil only had two seasons released on disc, and it was a breakout hit.

Remember Wynonna Earp? IDW used Kickstarter to fund the box sets. They didn't even go through a major distributor.

I'll never see Sweet/Vicious on disc. I'll never own She-Ra on blu-ray. The Runaways, Cloak & Dagger (I know it's not queer, but I love that show, ok?), Sense8, Arcane, Dead to Me, Derry Girls, Paper Girls, ALOTO, Gentleman Jack - I'll probably never be able to buy any of them legally.

Yes, I know that the first three seasons of SPOP were released on DVD. Where's the rest of it? Where's my blu-ray release?

The best and worst thing the digital age has given us has been streaming services. You have a huge library of content at your fingertips that can be taken away at any moment.

Just look at the shit show that is HBO Max after the Warner/Discovery merger. Shows are getting cut from that service faster than I can keep track of. Shows that may never see the light of day again (or ever, in the case of per-release properties) because WB/D holds the rights and is shoving them into storage in an attic. We are watching shows become lost media.

I'm getting tired of my shows being canceled. I'm getting tired of them being locked behind one particular service in a landscape where every company has to have its own platform. Streaming was supposed to be the alternative to cable, but they're squeezing us for more and more and giving us less and less for it.

But I'm tired of there being fewer and fewer legal ways to consume content offline. Even in the 90s and early 2000s when shows were cut down at alarming rates, we still had physical media. For example, Shout Factory was well known for putting out obscure or classic shows and movies with a big enough fan base.

(Note to self: buy that Facts of Life set before it disappears for another 20 years.)

We may need to go back to smaller companies making their own content. I don't know. It feels like the streaming wonderland is collapsing, and I don't know what system will rise from the ashes.

I used to joke that knowing me was getting to experience a list of shows that were canceled before their time. It's still true.

How to Choose a Cleaning Services Company

A quality cleaning services company can offer a variety of benefits and solutions to their clients. These include flexible scheduling options, eco-friendly products, and satisfaction guarantees. These features can help a cleaning service attract and retain customers.

Several things to consider when choosing a cleaning services company include their reputation, pricing, and contract length. Additionally, it is important to ask whether or not they have a wide service area.

Customer service

Customer service is a critical component to any business. Whether you’re a cleaning service or any other type of company, a high level of customer service can help you build trust with your clients and prospects. This includes being available when potential clients call, providing accurate quotes and estimates quickly, and answering any questions promptly.

You can also improve your customer service by using software to automate processes like employee scheduling, client invoicing, and budget tracking. This can save you time and money and improve your efficiency. It can also boost your brand reputation and generate referrals for your business. You can also use real photos of your employees in your marketing and advertising, which will increase customer trust. This is a great way to stand out from the competition.

Pricing

Pricing is a key factor when choosing a cleaning company. In general, companies charge less than individual cleaners, and they also have access to higher-quality equipment. It’s also important to make sure that the company has insurance, as it can protect them in case of damage or injury.

Some cleaning services have a fixed rate, which allows clients to know how much they’ll pay upfront. Others use task-based pricing, which calculates the amount of time required to complete each process. This method helps prevent overcharging, and it is especially effective for larger home cleaning or recurring cleaning jobs.

Another way to boost profitability is to offer a variety of cleaning packages. This will encourage customers to engage with your service over the long term and will increase their lifetime value.

Contract length

Once a client and cleaning company reach an agreement verbally, it’s important to formalize this agreement through a contract. This ensures that both parties understand the terms of the contract and will help prevent future disputes. It should include payment terms, service fees, and other specific responsibilities of the client and cleaning company.

The contract should also clarify who is responsible for providing equipment and supplies. It’s also a good idea to include a confidentiality and privacy policy in the contract. This protects the client’s proprietary information and helps ensure that the cleaning company is complying with privacy laws.

The client should also have the right to inspect the services provided by the cleaning company. This will help them identify any issues and address them promptly.

Number of cleaners

Cleaning services are a huge industry, and there is plenty of opportunity for those willing to do the work. The COVID-19 pandemic had a mixed impact on the industry, but many cleaning companies saw a boost in demand for disinfection and deep cleaning services. Others had to implement additional safety protocols and procedures to keep their clients and employees safe.

When selecting a cleaning service company, it is important to consider their certifications and training. Also, look for a transparent pricing structure and any cancellation or rescheduling policies. Lastly, make sure the cleaning company you choose has adequate insurance coverage to protect themselves and their clients in case of any accidents or damages during the cleaning process.

You can find a good cleaning service by checking online listings or local business directories. Online platforms like TaskRabbit or Handy allow you to search for vetted cleaners in your area. They often feature reviews and ratings from previous customers, so you can easily find the best option for your needs.

UK is poorer as a country, says Michael Gove

By Daniel Thomas

Business reporter, BBC News

The UK is poorer than it would have been, partly due to the war in Ukraine, but also the pandemic, Levelling Up Secretary Michael Gove has admitted.

But he said ministers were taking action on the soaring cost of living, including giving help on energy bills.

The head of the independent forecaster, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), said living standards were seeing their biggest squeeze on record.

Richard Hughes said Brexit had been similar to the pandemic in its impact.

“It’s a shock to the UK economy of the order of magnitude to other shocks that we’ve seen from the pandemic, from the energy crisis,” he told the BBC.

Poor productivity had also hurt growth, he said.

And he warned living standards would not return to pre-pandemic levels for at another five to six years.

Kuenssberg: When are you going to feel better off?

Asked whether he agreed with the OBR’s assessments, Mr Gove said economic forecasting was “a very difficult exercise”. He added that the UK was dealing with “the aftershocks of two significant events”.

“[There’s] both the war in Ukraine, the first time we’ve had war on this scale on the continent in Europe since the Second World War, and the Covid pandemic, the biggest global health pandemic since the end of the First World War,” he told the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme.

“They have had a huge effect on our economy and on others’ economies.”

Mr Gove denied that the government was to blame after 13 years in power, but added: “One can always do better, yes.”

However, he insisted ministers were taking action to address soaring inflation – the rate at which prices rise – by taxing oil and gas firms’ profits and lowering household energy bills.

He also said the Budget had taken steps to help people back to work and to help families, including with childcare.

The OBR forecasts that inflation will fall below 3% this year – down from 10.4% currently – as food and energy prices rise less quickly.

But speaking on the same programme, OBR chairman Richard Hughes said the outlook was volatile given Britain was a net importer of food and energy – the prices of which were set in global markets.

Mr Hughes added that the longer term outlook for the economy was bleak, with people’s real spending power – allowing for inflation – not forecast to recover to pre-pandemic levels until the end of the decade.

Mr Hughes blamed a range of issues for holding back the economy, saying: “We’ve lost around 500,000 people from the labour force, we’ve seen stagnant investment since 2016 and also our productivity has slowed dramatically since the financial crisis and not really recovered.”

He also said that overall output was forecast to be 4% lower than it would have been as a result of leaving the EU.

Last week the Bank of England put up interest rates for the 11th time since December 2021 as it continued its battle to ease inflation.

The decision to lift rates to 4.25% from 4% came after the inflation rate rose unexpectedly last month to 10.4%.

Budget 2023-24: A New Hope For The Steel Sector

The steel industry has experienced significant changes in recent years and will face various disruptive elements in the future. The increased investment in infrastructure, housing, and logistics, as well as the emphasis on green energy, are favourable for the cement and steel industries. The steel industries have benefited from the Rs 10 trillion infrastructure fund allocated in the Union Budget for 2023-24.

Current Global Market – Steel Manufacturing

The worldwide steel market was worth around Rs. 1 lakh crore (approximately) in 2020. However, the Covid-19 epidemic significantly influenced steel demand and the steel industry's capacity to produce and transport steel due to lockdown laws and mobility limitations. Steel output declined to 158.1 lakh crore (approximately) metric tonnes in June 2022, a 5.9% decrease from the same month in 2021.

Steel is predicted to come back in 2023, though it will not entirely recover from the supply and demand disruption created by the pandemic. Consumption fell in the second half of 2022, and this trend will likely continue into 2023. Steelmakers' revenues are projected to be lower this year.

How will the new Union Budget for 2023-24 impact the steel sector?

The government's continuous emphasis on infrastructure in the Union Budget 2023-24 would assure long-term growth in steel demand. In the Budget, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman boosted the country's capital expenditure for infrastructure development to Rs 10 lakh crore. The extension of the duty waiver on ferrous scrap, raw materials used in Cold Rolled Grain Oriented (CRGO) production, and nickel cathode is a good move for the steel sector. Overall, steelmakers might conclude that this is a solid budget.

The removal of 'export duty' on finished steel and iron products following inclusion in the RoDTEP scheme had already been announced. Before the budget, the inclusion of 'specialty steel' under the PLI scheme has been lauded by steel makers as it will further boost 'Make in India' while adding to the 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat' narrative.

Budget 2023 impact: Steel Demand to Strengthen, But Not Prices

The steel industries have benefited from the Rs 10 trillion infrastructure fund allocated in the Union Budget for 2023-24. Even if a surge in demand is projected, the costs of some building materials may stay low. Among the important budget announcements that have boosted the confidence of steel and cement companies are a 33% increase in allocation for significant infrastructure sectors and a 66% increase in outlay for the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY).

The highest-ever price for railways in the last decade, and plans for 50 new airports. Each of them will likely add to the already strong demand for steel and cement. Cement consumption is likely to rise due to the infrastructure and building boom. Increased investment in railroads and fifty new airports also benefits the business. Analysts at Angel Broking observed in their budget assessment that PMAY would assist in increasing demand for housing developments, which will benefit all cement businesses.

Metals will benefit from last-mile attention and sustainable energy announcements. In addition to the expected boost in demand from increasing infrastructure and housing expenditure, industry insiders see further benefits. Announcements on improving first- and last-mile connectivity will likely simplify logistics for the metals sector. The development of last-mile connectivity is a huge benefit for the sector. Transportation expenses rise to almost 8% of GDP globally and 12-14% of GDP in India. So any relaxation from resolving transportation difficulties is good.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman stated in her budget address that 100 essential infrastructure projects

For the ports' first- and last-mile connectivity, coal, steel, fertilizer, and food grains sectors had been identified. The projects would be prioritized and require an expenditure of Rs 75,000 crore, including Rs 15,000 crore from private sources. Executives in the Steek sector are likewise optimistic that focusing on green capex would help the industry satisfy its energy demands. The government's emphasis on green capital spending would assist in handling the industry's energy demands.

The Price Challenge

JSW Steel recorded its highest-ever December quarter crude steel output. For the first three quarters of the current fiscal year, UltraTech Cement achieved a double-digit volume increase. Due to rising infrastructure and housing investment, steel and cement demand in India has been increasing. The current budget allocations will amplify the demand growth narrative. However, only some are convinced it will result in long-term price increases. Can price increases be sustained in the face of growing demand?

Cement prices have already reached a two-year high due to persistent inflationary pressures. Cement businesses will need to focus more on cost reduction for profit expansion. Domestic demand is strong, bolstered by rising infrastructure expenditure and growth in the building, industrial, and car industries.

The Future of Steel Industry: A Capabilities Perspective

The steel industry has experienced significant changes in recent years and will face various disruptive elements in the future. Instead of responding to market trends, industry participants should build the future to be successful in the future. For this, businesses must commit to an identity centred on how they generate value for consumers. The few capabilities that enable them to outperform everyone else, then update and expand those few capabilities that is essential to their success.

This goes on to showcase that even during the pandemic, there was an increase in the amount of money that was focused on advertising, especially digital channels.

Companies are giving so much importance to digital marketing that some of the biggest ones are reforming their marketing budget to shift their focus to digital.

Crypto currencies will come up as a medium for cross border remittances which will reduce the fees involved in transaction

Crypto currencies can be seen as an alternative medium of foreign exchange in the coming future due to the higher flexibility specially for unstable currencies

Cross-border Remittances

Cryptocurrency as a cross-border payment medium will make a big difference in the Indian market. Due to great remittance demand, it will drive the prosperity of digital currency growth in India for a long time. Since cross-border transactions traditionally carry high fee using bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies as a cross-border payment medium, Indians can save a large number of remittance fees

Online and Offline (OnO)

In near future, users will be able to spend their cryptocurrency to purchase products, vouchers, pay bills and do even more at discounted rates on all major e-commerce websites around the world. Such purchases & transactions would be aided by a browser plugin that helps buyers calculate the real-time value of an equivalent amount of cryptocurrency to be paid in fiat for the purchase. Providing support for online and offline purchases  by crypto exchange platforms could pave as traction for users which serves as an immediate opportunity of crypto exchange platforms  and enabling offline purchases could be made possible by virtual currencies tying up with local merchant

Strict Foreign Exchange Regulations

Due to strict foreign exchange regulations, it is complicated to convert rupee directly to US dollars. The value of Indian rupee is not stable, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. The exchange rate between rupee and USD continued to rise, causing the former to enter constant depreciation. Therefore, most Indians will choose to convert rupee to bitcoin & then to US dollars (a more stable fiat currency) through C2C trading platforms such bitcoins which paves a way for crypto exchange platforms to increase their user base.

Central Bank Digital Currency

There has been an increased adoption of CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currency), with India also now moving on the path of having its own CBDC by the year 2023 (as per the address by Finance Minister of India in the Union Budget for FY 2022-23). India’s high currency to GDP ratio holds out another benefit of CBDCs. To the extent large cash usage can be replaced by CBDCs, the cost of printing, transporting, storing and distributing currency can be reduced

Tesco shoppers switching from fresh to frozen food

This video can not be played

By Michael Race

Business reporter, BBC News

Households are switching from buying fresh food to cheaper frozen goods as the cost of living bites into budgets, the boss of Tesco has said.

Ken Murphy, chief executive of the UK’s largest supermarket, said some shoppers were also swapping pricier red meat for cheaper white protein to save money.

He added that people were using barcode scanners more when shopping to avoid being “embarrassed” at the tills.

Food prices are rising at their fastest rate for 45 years.

In an interview with the BBC, Mr Murphy said shoppers were “managing their budgets much more tightly” and had changed their behaviour by “trading down” to cheaper food and own brand products.

Other examples he said included seeking out cheaper frozen meat and vegetables instead of fresh produce, batch cooking meals and cutting back on eating out.

The Tesco boss said the hand-held barcode scanners allowed people to “keep to a specific budget” by being able to keep an eye on the running total, instead of being “worried about being embarrassed at the till” if it turned out they could not afford their shopping or were over budget.

The hand-held scanners allow shoppers to scan the barcodes on food and other goods as they pick it up – and keep an eye on the running total – instead of waiting until the checkout and potentially discovering they cannot afford their groceries.

Tesco said it has sold double the number of frozen turkeys this year compared to the amount in 2019, due to shoppers cutting back.

There has also been a huge spike in luxury frozen desserts, and searches for frozen food in general on Tesco’s website are up 40% from last year.

Mr Murphy said that the UK was living in “times of turbulence and times of change” and people were worried about the “affordability of life today”.

Why are prices rising so much?

But he said he believed customers were “really determined to enjoy Christmas this year”, with 2022 being the first festive period for three years without Covid restrictions.

He said shoppers had been spreading out the cost of Christmas by purchasing goods earlier and had also bought “more modest gifts”.

“People will spend less. That is inevitable,” he said.

Latest official figures revealed food price inflation hit 16.2% in the year to October, up from 14.5% in September.

Inflation is the rate at which prices are rising. To calculate it the Office for National Statistics (ONS) keeps track of the prices of hundreds of everyday items, known as a “basket of goods”.

The ONS said that food prices had risen sharply in October with milk, pasta, margarine, eggs and cereals all going up.

Higher electricity and gas bills have left many households facing hardship heading into the festive season.

Asked when he thought food price inflation would slow down, Mr Murphy said it depended on a “number of factors”.

He said the global energy crisis was the main driver behind high food prices, but added the squeeze on goods since the pandemic was having an impact, as well as the pound’s weakness against the US dollar.

Tesco has overhauled its “reduced to clear” line – which includes food approaching its use-by date – and created “Reduced in Price, Just as Nice” sections, which will be rolled out to 100 stores by the end of the year.

The supermarket has also launched its food collection drive in UK stores, asking customers to buy items needed for food banks.

What’s going on at WarnerDiscoveryMaxWhatever?

OK cool, so there's a lot going on, to the point even I'm kind of staggering around out there, as is the better part of the media world.

The short explanation is, Discovery has lost its everloving mind on a power trip that really is just a panic response to trying to bail a company out of debt.

It’s been announced 70% of Max Employees are about to get laid off. HBO is also having a HUGE amount of content removed from its library. This goes hand in hand with the Batgirl cancellation, which I’ll break down.

I get being incensed at the look of it when shitty movies like Morbius get two airings and Batgirl gets cancelled before it airs, but this lacks the context of scale, and understanding of events at WB. And if everyone reads through, as much as things suck right now, it’ll make sense.

Warner Brothers finances have been a tire fire for fucking YEARS, and when Discovery bought in, they gained $43 billion in debt. Discovery’s first objective is to prune down spending substantially and locate an *immediate* 3 Billion in savings, while also forcing better returns out of the products they’re reassigning investment in.

In a case like Batgirl, it was originally greenlit on a 70M budget. It was expanded, substantially, to 90M for covid allocations--a courtesy that, for example, SPN was never given, which is why we got the paperclips and rubberbands budget finale. 

The new plan change just didn’t have room for Batgirl on the pared down digital landscape that they’re changing their tactics on, for better or worse. Initially, it was ordered forward to try to be made into a full DC cinema piece and part of their new planned world structure. The thing with this is it requires more shots, more graphics, more edits, more marketing, and overall would at least double over the project’s current budget or land at about just about triple. 

You can see how this conflicts with the idea of “cut down costs.” Batgirl unfortunately was at a bad crossroads and was a casualty of business, but if you peer through the rage at it, you can start gaining some clarity on what’s going on under the skin.  They literally get more out of cancelling it outright and bundling it amidst the vast expanse of shows being removed from Max for tax writeoffs.

The part I call a Power Trip is there’s also talk of Discovery basically closing down HBO Max and having Discovery take the lead, as if suffering sudden amnesia on the value of the brand name they bought and trying to slap their own label up front first. However, this part isn’t set in stone yet, and is probably a fiery and short lived display. At best they’ll merge together, but Max has triple the subscriptions of Discovery so that particular idea is comedy. 

Now, I *do think* people are missing key words in the internal statement from someone working at HBO. They said “Sounds like they’re not doing HBO Max scripted shows anymore with HBO taking over, so less scripted shows overall.”

First of all, this *is* a bit of a severe take. Vastly reigning in their direct budget spend is not the same as a complete cut. Furthermore, plenty of WB branches, studios and more will still be creating content *for* Max that will *go* to Max but come from other sources *than* Max. What Max is doing is making sure anything it *does* invest in again has a chance of hitting GoT style success instead of middling returns, and if they don’t have faith in that itself, another WB studio will back it and it’ll END UP on Max, just. Not there as an exclusive people log in for live. Which is why the content, while pared down, is never going to go away entirely, they’re just going to pick a few properties very carefully.

This goes hand in hand with what I was telling you, that not even Disney expects streaming to be fully sustainable internally until at least 2026. This is the impact growing phase of digital transition I’ve always talked about, and we’re seeing it expedited in a pressure cooker with the various sales and transitions of WB, CW and their other properties. They’re figuring out how to balance the way revenue and more handle internally in apps, before committing any further budget to it. On that front, Discovery isn’t necessarily wrong to make this decision until WB gets its head out of its ass and straightens out what it’s doing with its actual big franchises.

Despite this relative reassurance, according to the news vine expect some possibly shocking news tomorrow (Aug 4 2022) regarding several of these shows: Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars: OS, Hacks, Sex Lives of College Girls, Just Like That, Peacemaker, Our Flag Means Death, Minx, Rap Shit, Doom Patrol, Titans, Harley Quinn. Do not read the previous paragraph as an absolute promise/warning of cancellation of these shows, but be advised they are surprising names that have been floated during discussion of all of the above directional chaos.

Here's a small, very incomplete list of some of the WB products cancelled since the takeover:

CNN+ and all its programming a few days after launch

Max: Raised By Wolves, Close Enough, Gordita Chronicles, Made for Love

TBS: Chad (hours before season premiere was set to air), Full Frontal with Samantha Bee

Adult Swim: Three Busy Debras, Joe Pera Talks With You (Adult Swim)

An entire bucket of CW cancellations (Arrowverse, Naomi, Riverdale, that whole bloodbath.)

Snowpiercer (TNT)

Film: Wonder Twins ( after leads announced), Scoob! Holiday Haunt (reportedly all but finished), Batgirl (after the movie was mostly finished.)
