The Andrew Faris PodcastMerchant Cash Advance Showdown: Bill D'Alessandro vs. Drew FallonSo Shopify Capital (or someone else) offered you $250,000 in exchange for 17% of daily revenue for 90 days. The best part? You can get the money with just a few clicks.

Protest in China over frozen bank accounts ends in violence
The saga drew further attention in June, when some protesters reported that their personal health codes – which are now mandatory for almost all Chinese citizens to access public venues – turned red to indicate they were Covid positive.

The Slippery SlopePrepare For WarBloombergquint
