What made Visa’s stock do this this afternoon?

The Federal Reserve decided this afternoon not to cap “swipe fees”—the fees banks charge retailers when customers use debit cards—at 12 cents, as initially proposed, but at 21 cents.

How does it affect you? That depends on how banks make up for those lost fees—and how retailers respond. More here

Another Follow Up of the Day: Urban Outfitters has responded to claims made by independent jewelry designer Stephanie “Stevie” Koerner that the retailer’s “I Heart Destination” necklace line ripped off her own “United States of Love” collection.

Inadvertently aided by a recent Regretsy post, which responded to the controversy by pointing out the slew of similar designs posted on Etsy long before Koerner’s store came online, UO noted that “a quick search on Etsy” shows Koerner’s design is far from original. “We are not implying that Koerner stole her necklace idea from one of these other designers,” UO says in its statement, “we are simply stating the obvious—that the idea is not unique to Koerner and she can in no way claim to be its originator.”

UO goes on to say that they normally wouldn’t bother issuing a public retort, but the “media response” to Koerner’s allegation “is threatening to impact the dozens of independent designers” with whom UO has a legitimate business relationship. “For many of them, having their work sold at Urban Outfitters is a very positive turning point in their careers,” UO says, “and we will not allow their hard work and commitment, or ours, to be undermined by these false allegations.”

Now, about those Rick Santorum campaign contributions…

mohandasgandhi:

California Becomes First State to Ban Styrofoam Containers

The ban would apply to restaurants and grocery stores and become effective July 1, 2016.

Schools would have to comply by July 1, 2017.

The bill, which was introduced by Sen. Alan Lowenthal (D-Long Beach), has been criticized by commerce leaders who say the bill threatens thousands of manufacturing jobs.

Environmentalists say banning the containers would help reduce waste issues, taking decades to break down.

Styrofoam is often mistaken for food or prey by seabirds, marine mammals, fish, and sea turtles.

Over 50 cities in California have already enacted their own ban on polystyrene. California is now the first to enact a statewide ban.

Well done, California. Well done.
