 Today, I choose to talk about Elon musk and the company he recently bought, Twitter. I found this interesting because when Elon musk bought Twitter, He fired many people on the spot. Even though many people do not agree with him firing a lot of people at once, a majority of people seem to be enjoying this and think Elon musk made the right choice. Elon musk is within his right as the owner to fire whoever he wants but the reason he fired so many people is that they were sitting around doing nothing. He thought it was useless to have that many people sitting around which I totally agree with.  Up on looking at Twitter, I came across memes about Musk firing people and this was one of them. If you have watched Avenger's End Game, then you what this is being referenced to. However, if you haven't watched it, Let me Elaborate. In Avenger's End Game, Thanos snaps his fingers and half of the universe disappears. The meme is putting Musk as Thanos and the Employs as the people w...

     What makes a car brand transcendent? What sets it apart from all the other car brands out there, so that it’s always going to be remembered as being the most supreme example of its type? Is there anything that can truly quantify what makes a car brand stand out from the rest, and elevate it to such an exalted level that everyone recognizes and acknowledges it as the ultimate expression of its type? There’s no simple or direct answer to any of these questions, but one factor is almost certainly involved. And that factor is exclusivity.

And when you combine this with how much prestige and cachet comes with being associated with an automaker like Porsche—a company with so much history and tradition under its belt that people instantly respect and revere it without fail—then ...

Hilal's first marketing post.

               Hi, my name is Hilal Zaman, and I am 18 years old. I was born and raised in Kabul, Afghanistan. I spent 11 years of my life there and 6 in the United States of America. I am the oldest son out of 6 and the second child. I work for my dad at a convenience store owned by us in Lebanon, Oregon. I chose to major in Business Admin because as the oldest I am kind of obligated and expected to help my dad expand. My hope is to expand our business not just into more convenient stores but other types of businesses as well. I believe marketing is a very important aspect of the business. For that reason, I am taking a marketing class. To be clear, my dad didn't force me or implied that I don't have a choice in taking any other major but Business. Nor did he pressure me, he gave me full choice and I chose to work for/with my dad instead of a giant company run by a corporation that doesn't care for human life.       ...
