From special rates on auto insurance policies to cheaper flights when you booked through its website, the NRA's discount program offered a lot of perks.But in the wake of a massacre at a Florida high school on February 14, activists flooded social media with calls to end corporate partnerships with America's most powerful gun lobby.Since Thursday, more than a dozen brands severed ties with the organization.In a statement, the National Rifle Association called the decisions "a shameful display of political and civic cowardice.""In time, these brands will be replaced by others who recognize that patriotism and determined commitment to Constitutional freedoms are characteristics of a marketplace they very much want to serve," the statement said.NRA members still have access to other perks, such as a free gun-owner insurance plan and options to save on travel costs.But the listings on the organization's "Member Benefits" page have dwindled.Here's how it all went down.Thursday, February 22The First National Bank of Omaha said it will stop issuing an NRA-branded Visa card.

BOSTON (AP) — Boston is delaying plans to reopen the city’s schools after the city’s coronavirus positivity rate climbed higher than 4%.Mayor Marty Walsh made the announcement Wednesday morning.The citywide positive rate puts us just over the 4% threshold that we established for moving forward with our phased-in, hybrid learning plan for @BostonSchools.

BALTIMORE — U.S. retail sales jumped by a record 17.7% from April to May, with spending partially rebounding after the coronavirus had shut down businesses, flattened the economy and paralyzed consumers during the previous two months.The Commerce Department’s report Tuesday showed that retail sales have retraced some of the record-setting month-to-month plunges of March (8.3%) and April (14.7%) as businesses have increasingly reopened. Still, the pandemic’s damage to retail sales remains severe, with purchases still down 6.1% from a year ago. 556

BALTIMORE, Maryland — Tommie Tarsell, an experienced insurance agent with 40 plus years in the business, has spent months job hunting.“You would think with all the credentials I have the CIC, CFP LUTC, all these,” said Tarsell.She even owned an agency at one point.“But two years ago, my health failed and I merged with a different agency, which is literally me selling my business,” Tarsell said.She still has bills to pay, so when she was contacted about a job opportunity, she jumped at it.“So up out of the blue came this email to me from Janelle. [It had] GC stationary heading, all that, and they had read my résumé and they felt I was qualified for the position,” Tarsell said.Next steps would be an interview with Patrick Chng over Google Hangouts. Chng apologized for the “unseemly approach” but said it was to stay on top of advancing technologies.Tarsell chatted for two hours providing detailed responses, and at the end, she was offered the Administrative Assistant/Data Entry position for .00 per hour.“I have a little dog that I can’t take to the vet because I’m really strapped for funds. I started to cry and I’m not a person who cries easily,” said Tarsell.She told her neighbor about the new job, and then her neighbor said it was really a job scam.“I felt let down, disappointed, and ashamed,” she said.Fortunately, Tarsell didn't lose any money, but Angie Barnett, president and CEO of the Better Business Bureau serving Greater Maryland said that's what they were after.“'Alright, let's set you up for employment, we need a bank account,’” said Barnett. “They'll give you a check for ,000, tell you use this website to buy your items, cash this check and when you do, you're cashing usually a bad check.”Tarsell suspects the scammer knew how long she had been looking and saw her as easy prey.“They might see how long a résumé’s been on file with Indeed and they might see that you’re really desperate. And desperation, you do a lot of things, and here I sit,” Tarsell said. 2009
