NOTE: THE ABOVE IMAGE IS AN EDIT BY ME, NOT A SCREENSHOT OF THE SCENE

Crisis on Infinite Mirths - PPG Creator, Craig McCracken asked development team if the original Bubbles could beat up the "New One"

At the recent San Diego Comic Con showing of the new Jellystone special, one of the writers spoke to fans. Saying that they often communicated with the original creators of the series they used for the crossover, including Powerpuff Girl Creator, Craig McCracken.

On stage he said that in a note given to them by Craig, "Can you please have the original Bubbles beating up the new Bubbles somewhere?" To which they cheerfully agreed. In a chaotic fight scene, in the background they hid a part where 1998 Bubbles whacks 2016 Bubbles on the head.

Since the CN Latin America commercial, this is the 2nd time the 2016 series has been depicted in a negative light by official CN content. This time specifically requested by the series creator himself. It's understandable, a large part of why 2016 was the way it was, was because Cartoon Network didn't want to wait for Craig's contract with Disney over Wander Over Yonder to end. Going ahead without him. Craig didn't make 2016, and it's reasonable to believe that he may harbor some sour feelings for how CN handled his brainchild.

Unfortunately no clip of the scene is available online at the moment, as the only clips we have right now come from the Comic Con showing. We will likely have to wait until Jellystone: Crisis on Infinite Mirths releases on tv and streaming services to get a clip of the scene.

Reminder, I am not a news source, but did my best to report on this and source what I could

Places you can help this Pride Month!

Happy Pride!

FTH has long prioritized focusing the combined financial support of the fandom community on small organizations where a few thousand - or even a few hundred - dollars can make a big impact.

To this end, every year we have an "Umbrella Category," where bidders can choose a local organization within our category to support.

This year, our Umbrella was LGBTQ+ organizations, and it was a runaway success! Not only did our suggested orgs get lots of donations, bidders threw their support behind eighty-eight different local organizations.

Because these orgs operate locally, not only do your donations make a big impact, they are often looking for local volunteers! If one is near you, this Pride might be the perfect time to take a look at their volunteer opportunities and see if one is right for you. Even if you can't donate or volunteer right now, it's a good idea to take a look at what organizations and services are in your area, in case you or someone you know ever need support.

Under the cut you will find links to all of the LGBTQ+ organizations our bidders supported this year, organized by location.

There are some larger orgs on the list, often because creators chose them as the one additional organization they are allowed to add to their choices from our list, but most of these operate on a smaller scale.

Check them out!

The Kenya Wildlife Service celebrated the successful transfer of 21 eastern black rhinos to establish a new viable breeding population for the species that was on the brink of extinction decades ago.

In an 18-day exercise executed by highly trained capture and veterinary experts, the Loisaba Conservancy received the 21 rhinos from three different locations, becoming the 17th sanctuary in Kenya where the mammoth animals can roam and intermingle.

“It’s incredibly exciting to be part of the resettlement of rhinos to a landscape where they’ve been absent for 50 years,” said Tom Silvester, CEO of Loisaba Conservancy.

Kenya had 20,000 black rhinos in the 1970s before poachers decimated them for their horns. By the time the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) was established in 1989, rhino numbers had declined to below 400.

Since then, Kenya’s eastern black rhinos have made a remarkable comeback and today there are an estimated 1,004 individuals.

Kenya is a stronghold of the eastern sub species of black rhino, hosting approximately 80 percent of the entire world’s surviving population.

“Surpassing the milestone of 1,000 rhinos within four decades is a significant accomplishment,” said Munira Bashir, Director of The Nature Conservancy in Kenya.

The reintroduction this month of these 21 animals this month is a great milestone in Kenya’s rhino recovery action plan, and was made possible by support from The Nature Conservancy, San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance, other partners—and the three reserves from where the 21 rhinos originated, Nairobi National Park, Ol Pejeta Conservancy and Lewa Conservancy.

“In the recent past, one of the main causes of mortality of rhinos has been territorial fights due to limited space in sanctuaries which has also led to suppressed growth rates due,” explained Dr. Erustus Kanga, the Director General of Kenya Wildlife Service. “I am elated to be associated with this momentous effort to secure more space for this cornerstone species.”

Meanwhile, southern white rhinos continue to thrive in Kenya, having increased from 50 individuals that were imported from South Africa in the eighties and nineties to reach the current population of 971 individuals.

Kenya is also playing a critical role in efforts to save the northern white rhino from extinction, as it is host to the only remaining two females of the species left in the world. The international BioRescue project has developed thirty embryos awaiting implantation into surrogate females within the closely-related subspecies of southern white rhino.

“The return of black rhinos to Loisaba, 50 years after the last known individual here was killed by poachers in the 1970s, is a demonstration of how impactful partnerships between governments and conservation NGOs can be for restoring, managing, and protecting our natural world,” said Dr. Max Graham, CEO and Founder of Space for Giants, one of the project partners.

“And, of course, the return of black rhinos here gives all of us one of the most precious commodities of all: hope.”

Twinkump Linkdump

I'm on a 20+ city book tour for my new novel PICKS AND SHOVELS. Catch me in SAN DIEGO at MYSTERIOUS GALAXY next MONDAY (Mar 24), and in CHICAGO with PETER SAGAL on Apr 2. More tour dates here.

I have an excellent excuse for this week's linkdump: I'm in Germany, but I'm supposed to be in LA, and I'm not, because London Heathrow shut down due to a power-station fire, which meant I spent all day yesterday running around like a headless chicken, trying to get home in time for my gig in San Diego on Monday (don't worry, I sorted it):

https://www.mystgalaxy.com/32425Doctorow

Therefore, this is 30th linkdump, in which I collect the assorted links that didn't make it into this week's newsletters. Here are the other 29:

https://pluralistic.net/tag/linkdump/

I always like to start and end these 'dumps with some good news, which isn't easy in these absolutely terrifying times. But there is some good news: Wil Wheaton has announced his new podcast, a successor of sorts to the LeVar Burton Reads podcast. It's called "It's Storytime" and it features Wil reading his favorite stories handpicked from science fiction magazines, including On Spec, the magazine that bought my very first published story (I was 16, it ran in their special youth issue, it wasn't very good, but boy did it mean a lot to me):

https://wilwheaton.net/podcast/

Here's some more good news: a court has found (again!) that works created by AI are not eligible for copyright. This is the very best possible outcome for people worried about creators' rights in the age of AI, because if our bosses can't copyright the botshit that comes out of the "AI" systems trained on our work, then they will pay us:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/us-appeals-court-rejects-copyrights-171203999.html

Our bosses hate paying us, but they hate the idea of not being able to stop people from copying their entertainment products so! much! more! It's that simple:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/08/20/everything-made-by-an-ai-is-in-the-public-domain/

This outcome is so much better than the idea that AI training isn't fair use – an idea that threatens the existence of search engines, archiving, computational linguistics, and other clearly beneficial activities. Worse than that, though: if we create a new copyright that allows creators to prevent others from scraping and analyzing their works, our bosses will immediately alter their non-negotiable boilerplate contracts to demand that we assign them this right. That will allow them to warehouse huge troves of copyrighted material that they will sell to AI companies who will train models designed to put us on the breadline (see above, re: our bosses hate paying us):

https://pluralistic.net/2024/03/13/hey-look-over-there/#lets-you-and-he-fight

The rights of archivists grow more urgent by the day, as the Trump regime lays waste to billions of dollars worth of government materials that were produced at public expense, deleting decades of scientific, scholarly, historical and technical materials. This is the kind of thing you might expect the National Archive or the Library of Congress to take care of, but they're being chucked into the meat-grinder as well.

To make things even worse, Trump and Musk have laid waste to the Institute of Museum and Library Services, a tiny, vital agency that provides funding to libraries, archives and museums across the country. Evan Robb writes about all the ways the IMLS supports the public in his state of Washington:

Technology support. Last-mile broadband connection, network support, hardware, etc. Assistance with the confusing e-rate program for reduced Internet pricing for libraries.

Coordinated group purchase of e-books, e-audiobooks, scholarly research databases, etc.

Library services for the blind and print-disabled.

Libraries in state prisons, juvenile detention centers, and psychiatric institutions.

Digitization of, and access to, historical resources (e.g., newspapers, government records, documents, photos, film, audio, etc.).

Literacy programming and support for youth services at libraries.

The entire IMLS budget over the next 10 years rounds to zero when compared to the US federal budget – and yet, by gutting it, DOGE is amputating significant parts of the country's systems that promote literacy; critical thinking; and universal access to networks, media and ideas. Put it that way, and it's not hard to see why they hate it so.

Trying to figure out what Trump is up to is (deliberately) confusing, because Trump and Musk are pursuing a chaotic agenda that is designed to keep their foes off-balance:

https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-donald-trump-chaos/

But as Hamilton Nolan writes, there's a way to cut through the chaos and make sense of it all. The problem is that there are a handful of billionaires who have so much money that when they choose chaos, we all have to live with it:

The significant thing about the way that Elon Musk is presently dismantling our government is not the existence of his own political delusions, or his own self-interested quest to privatize public functions, or his own misreading of economics; it is the fact that he is able to do it. And he is able to do it because he has several hundred billion dollars. If he did not have several hundred billion dollars he would just be another idiot with bad opinions. Because he has several hundred billion dollars his bad opinions are now our collective lived experience.

https://www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/the-underlying-problem

We actually have a body of law designed to prevent this from happening. It's called "antitrust" and 40 years ago, Jimmy Carter decided to follow the advice of some of history's dumbest economists who said that fighting monopolies made the economy "inefficient." Every president since, up to – but not including – Biden, did even more to encourage monopolization and the immense riches it creates for a tiny number of greedy bastards.

But Biden changed that. Thanks to the "Unity Taskforce" that divided up the presidential appointments between the Democrats' corporate wing and the Warren/Sanders wing, Biden appointed some of the most committed, effective trustbusters we'd seen for generations:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/10/18/administrative-competence/#i-know-stuff

After Trump's election, there was some room for hope that Trump's FTC would continue to pursue at least some of the anti-monopoly work of the Biden years. After all, there's a sizable faction within the MAGA movement that hates (some) monopolies:

https://pluralistic.net/2025/01/24/enforcement-priorities/#enemies-lists

But last week, Trump claimed to have illegally fired the two Democratic commissioners on the FTC: Alvaro Bedoya and Rebecca Slaughter. I stan both of these commissioners, hard. When they were at the height of their powers in the Biden years, I had the incredible, disorienting experience of getting out of bed, checking the headlines, and feeling very good about what the government had just done.

Trump isn't legally allowed to fire Bedoya and Slaughter. Perhaps he's just picking this fight as part of his chaos agenda (see above). But there are some other pretty good theories about what this is setting up. In his BIG newsletter, Matt Stoller proposes that Trump is using this case as a wedge, trying to set a precedent that would let him fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell:

https://www.thebignewsletter.com/p/why-trump-tried-to-fire-federal-trade

But perhaps there's more to it. Stoller just had Commissioner Bedoya on Organized Money, the podcast he co-hosts with David Dayen, and Bedoya pointed out that if Trump can fire Democratic commissioners, he can also fire Republican commissioners. That means that if he cuts a shady deal with, say, Jeff Bezos, he can order the FTC to drop its case against Amazon and fire the Republicans on the commission if they don't frog when he jumps:

https://www.organizedmoney.fm/p/trumps-showdown-at-the-ftc-with-commissioner

(By the way, Organized Money is a fantastic podcast, notwithstanding the fact that they put me on the show last week:)

https://audio.buzzsprout.com/6f5ly01qcx6ijokbvoamr794ht81

The future that our plutocrat overlords are grasping for is indeed a terrible one. You can see its shape in the fantasies of "liberatarian exit" – the seasteads, free states, and other assorted attempts to build anarcho-capitalist lawless lands where you can sell yourself into slavery, or just sell your kidneys. The best nonfiction book on libertarian exit is Raymond Criab's 2022 "Adventure Capitalism," a brilliant, darkly hilarious and chilling history of every time a group of people have tried to found a nation based on elevating selfishness to a virtue:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/06/14/this-way-to-the-egress/#terra-nullius

If Craib's book is the best nonfiction volume on the subject of libertarian exit, then Naomi Kritzer's super 2023 novel Liberty's Daughter is the best novel about life in a libertopia – a young adult novel about a girl growing up in the hell that would be life with a Heinlein-type dad:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/11/21/podkaynes-dad-was-a-dick/#age-of-consent

But now this canon has a third volume, a piece of design fiction from Atelier Van Lieshout called "Slave City," which specs out an arcology populated with 200,000 inhabitants whose "very rational, efficient and profitable" arrangements produce €7b/year in profit:

https://www.archdaily.com/30114/slave-city-atelier-van-lieshout

This economic miracle is created by the residents' "voluntary" opt-in to a day consisting of 7h in an office, 7h toiling in the fields, 7h of sleep, and 3h for "leisure" (e.g. hanging out at "The Mall," a 24/7, 26-storey " boundless consumer paradise"). Slaves who wish to better themselves can attend either Female Slave University or Male Slave University (no gender controversy in Slave City!), which run 24/7, with 7 hours of study, 7 hours of upkeep and maintenance on the facility, 7h of sleep, and, of course, 3h of "leisure."

The field of design fiction is a weird and fertile one. In his traditional closing keynote for this year's SXSW Interactive festival, Bruce Sterling opens with a little potted history of the field since it was coined by Julian Bleeker:

https://bruces.medium.com/how-to-rebuild-an-imaginary-future-2025-0b14e511e7b6

Then Bruce moves on to his own latest design fiction project, an automated poetry machine called the Versificatore first described by Primo Levi in an odd piece of science fiction written for a newspaper. The Versificatore was then adapted to the screen in 1971, for an episode of an Italian sf TV show based on Levi's fiction:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tva-D_8b8-E

And now Sterling has built a Versificatore. The keynote is a sterlingian delight – as all of his SXSW closers are. It's a hymn to the value of "imaginary futures" and an instruction manual for recovering them. It could not be more timely.

Sterling's imaginary futures would be a good upbeat note to end this 'dump with, but I've got a real future that's just as inspiring to close us out with: the EU has found Apple guilty of monopolizing the interfaces to its devices and have ordered the company to open them up for interoperability, so that other manufacturers – European manufacturers! – can make fully interoperable gadgets that are first-class citizens of Apple's "ecosystem":

https://www.reuters.com/technology/apple-ordered-by-eu-antitrust-regulators-open-up-rivals-2025-03-19/

It's a good reminder that as America crumbles, there are still places left in the world with competent governments that want to help the people they represent thrive and prosper. As the Prophet Gibson tells us, "the future is here, it's just not evenly distributed." Let's hope that the EU is living in America's future, and not the other way around.

DEVELOPING FLASH REPORT: American cartoon show 'Hamster & Gretel' quietly cancelled after Season 2 [#OnlyOnOneNETnews]

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA -- "Hamster & Gretel", an American animated cartoon from Disney Television Animation (DTVA) is set to end after its 2nd season is expected to conclude between the 2nd and 3rd quarters of this year in 2025. The show, created by 'Mr. Dan Kingsley Povenmire' from the hit series "Phineas and Ferb" started airing in early mid-August 2022. It follows a 9 y/o student of Eastside Elementary School (EES) named 'Ms. Gretel Grant-Gomez' and her pet 'hamster', who received superpowers from aliens and villains go on exciting superhero missions across the city.

HnG started off strong but viewers plummeted in this 1st quarter, much like other traditional cable kids' television shows. Around this week, Americans are now shifting to streaming platforms over to 'Disney+' which is less likely to promote and save this said show. This worst trend resembles Alex Robert Hirsch's "Gravity Falls" which ended after its 2nd and final season in mid-February 2016.

We reached out to his personal TikTok account (@danpovenmire) for comments and confirmation on the show's cancellation but we have not independently received any response to us thru our news team at OneNETnews.

The quiet cancellation of the show by Disney Television Animation (DTVA) left without closure since the story may not conclude at all. Traditional cable TV networks are struggling to keep viewers as streaming services become more popular than anyone else. We cannot predict what will happen next with that show.

You can stream recent episodes or new to catch-up the first time with "Hamster & Gretel", available on-demand and for purchases on DisneyNOW, Disney+, Apple TV+ and Amazon Prime Video.

EDITOR's NOTE: This is a developing story. We will try to get in touch with Sir Dan Povenmire for our response, sometime on or before Valentines Day 2025. We'll keep you posted once we get there online.

15 health systems dropping Medicare Advantage plans | 2024

Medicare Advantage provides health coverage to more than half of the nation's older adults, but some hospitals and health systems are opting to end their contracts with MA plans over administrative challenges.

Among the most commonly cited reasons are excessive prior authorization denial rates and slow payments from insurers.

In 2023, Becker's began reporting on hospitals and health systems nationwide that dropped some or all of their Medicare Advantage contracts.

In January, the Healthcare Financial Management Association released a survey of 135 health system CFOs, which found that 16% of systems are planning to stop accepting one or more MA plans in the next two years. Another 45% said they are considering the same but have not made a final decision. The report also found that 62% of CFOs believe collecting from MA is "significantly more difficult" than it was two years ago.

Fifteen health systems dropping Medicare Advantage plans in 2024: Editor's note: This is not an exhaustive list. It will continue to be updated this year 1. Canton, Ohio-based Aultman Health System's hospitals will no longer be in network with Humana Medicare Advantage after July 1, and its physicians will no longer be in network after Aug. 1.

2. Albany (N.Y.) Med Health System stopped accepting Humana Medicare Advantage on July 1.

3. Munster, Ind.-based Powers Health (formerly Community Healthcare System) went out of network with Humana and Aetna's Medicare Advantage plans on June 1.

4. Lawton, Okla.-based Comanche County Memorial Hospital stopped accepting UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage plans on May 1.

5. Houston-based Memorial Hermann Health System stopped contracting with Humana Medicare Advantage on Jan. 1.

6. York, Pa.-based WellSpan Health stopped accepting Humana Medicare Advantage and UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage plans on Jan. 1. UnitedHealthcare D-SNP plans in some locations are still accepted.

7. Newark, Del.-based ChristianaCare is out of network with Humana's Medicare Advantage plans as of Jan. 1, with the exception of home health services.

8. Greenville, N.C.-based ECU Health stopped accepting Humana's Medicare Advantage plans in January.

9. Zanesville, Ohio-based Genesis Healthcare System dropped Anthem BCBS and Humana Medicare Advantage plans in January.

10. Corvallis, Ore.-based Samaritan Health Services' hospitals went out of network with UnitedHealthcare's Medicare Advantage plans on Jan. 9. Samaritan's physicians and provider services will be out of network on Nov. 1.

11. Cameron (Mo.) Regional Medical Center stopped accepting Aetna and Humana Medicare Advantage in 2024.

12. Bend, Ore.-based St. Charles Health System stopped accepting Humana Medicare Advantage on Jan. 1 and Centene MA on Feb. 1. 

13. Brookings (S.D.) Health System stopped accepting all Medicare Advantage plans in 2024.

14. Louisville, Ky.-based Baptist Health went out of network with UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage and Centene's WellCare on Jan. 1. 15. San Diego-based Scripps Health ended all Medicare Advantage contracts for its integrated medical groups, effective Jan. 1.

Navigating Translation Services in San Diego

Settled along the pleasant shore of Southern California, San Diego is a city known for its staggering scenes, social variety, and flourishing economy. As a blend of societies and a center for business, training, and the travel industry, San Diego has turned into a microcosm of globalization. In this blog, we'll investigate the essential job that translation services play in San Diego, working with powerful correspondence across dialects and overcoming any barrier between its assorted networks.

A Worldwide Center Point of Variety

San Diego's social texture is woven with strings from around the world. From the clamoring roads of Little Italy to the energetic neighborhoods of City Levels, the city is home to a rich embroidery of dialects and societies. With a solid presence of global companies, scholarly establishments, and army installations, the interest in proficient translation services has flooded to oblige the requirements of the two inhabitants and organizations. These administrations act as the crucial connection that permits San Diego's multicultural populace to interface, team up, and flourish.

Key Translation Services in San Diego

The interpretation scene in San Diego is pretty much as different as its populace, offering a wide exhibit of administrations that take care of different areas and enterprises:

Understanding Phoenix’s Business Market with a Professional Broker

The Phoenix business market has emerged as one of the most vibrant and promising in the country. With its booming population, strong job growth, and pro-business environment, Phoenix offers countless opportunities for entrepreneurs, investors, and business owners. But navigating this competitive market can be challenging without the guidance of a knowledgeable professional. That’s where a seasoned business broker in Phoenix becomes invaluable.

In this article, we’ll explore the current state of Phoenix’s business market and how working with a professional broker can help buyers and sellers make confident, strategic moves.

The Growth of Phoenix’s Business Scene

Phoenix is currently one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the United States. With a population exceeding 5 million in the metro area, an influx of new residents and businesses has created a dynamic and diverse business ecosystem. The city has seen explosive growth in key industries such as:

Healthcare

Technology

Construction and trades

Hospitality and tourism

Financial services

Real estate and property management

This diversity makes Phoenix an attractive location for business buyers looking for stable cash-flowing opportunities, as well as owners looking to exit in a profitable market.

Why the Phoenix Market Attracts Buyers

Several factors make Phoenix a hotspot for business acquisitions:

Favorable Tax Environment: Arizona offers low personal income taxes and no franchise or estate tax, making it appealing for entrepreneurs.

Population Growth: With thousands of people moving to the Phoenix area each month, businesses benefit from an expanding customer base and workforce.

Cost of Living Advantage: Compared to cities like Los Angeles, San Diego, or San Francisco, Phoenix offers a more affordable lifestyle, encouraging relocation and expansion.

Strong Demand Across Industries: From HVAC companies to e-commerce startups, Phoenix businesses are thriving across sectors, providing opportunities for both first-time and experienced buyers.

Challenges of Navigating the Market Alone

While the Phoenix market presents incredible opportunities, it also comes with its complexities. Sellers often don’t know how to accurately value their business, and buyers may be unsure where to find the best listings or how to evaluate financials.

Some common challenges include:

Incorrect pricing

Unorganized financial records

Limited buyer/seller networks

Lack of confidentiality

Legal and financial hurdles during closing

Without expert guidance, these obstacles can delay deals or lead to missed opportunities.

The Role of a Professional Business Broker

A professional business broker serves as the bridge between sellers and buyers, ensuring transactions are smooth, confidential, and successful. Here’s how they make a difference:

1. Business Valuation Expertise

A broker provides an accurate market-based valuation using comparable sales, financial performance, and industry benchmarks. This ensures sellers don’t overprice (and scare off buyers) or underprice (and lose money).

2. Confidential Marketing

Brokers list businesses discreetly to protect the company’s reputation and operations. They use blind listings and require signed NDAs before sharing details with potential buyers.

3. Qualified Buyer Access

Established brokers have networks of pre-screened, financially capable buyers—including individuals, investment groups, and corporations. This shortens the time to find a match and reduces the risk of failed deals.

4. Deal Structuring and Negotiation

Brokers guide both parties through pricing negotiations, financing options, terms, and contingencies. They help ensure a win-win deal that closes efficiently and legally.

5. Transaction Management

From organizing financials to working with attorneys, accountants, and lenders, a broker manages the entire process to reduce stress and improve outcomes for all involved.

Understanding Buyer Trends in Phoenix

In 2025, buyers entering the Phoenix market tend to fall into a few key categories:

Corporate escapees looking to own their first small business.

Out-of-state relocators moving to Arizona for a better lifestyle.

Strategic acquirers expanding into new verticals or territories.

Private equity firms pursuing roll-up strategies in specific industries.

Each group has unique priorities—from cash flow and location to scalability and team structures. A broker helps match these needs with the right business opportunities.

Understanding What Buyers Want

In Phoenix’s competitive market, buyers are focused on businesses that offer:

Consistent year-over-year profitability

Clean, well-documented financials

Minimal owner dependency

Strong online presence or marketing systems

Positive reputation and loyal customer base

A broker ensures that sellers position their businesses in a way that highlights these strengths and eliminates potential buyer concerns.

Timing Matters in the Phoenix Market

Market timing plays a significant role in business sales. In Phoenix, the best time to sell often coincides with:

Early in the year, when buyers are motivated and SBA lenders have fresh budgets.

Post-tax season, when buyers and sellers have a clearer view of financial performance.

Before retirement surges, which can increase inventory and reduce pricing leverage.

A business broker helps you determine the best window to list your business based on industry trends and economic factors.

Common Misconceptions Sellers Have

Some Phoenix business owners make avoidable mistakes due to common misconceptions. For example:

“My business is worth 3x revenue.” Valuation is based on earnings, not top-line sales.

“I can find a buyer on my own.” Without access to pre-qualified buyers, it often takes longer and creates legal risks.

“I’ll wait until next year.” Market conditions, interest rates, and personal health can change unexpectedly.

A business broker educates and supports sellers to make fact-based, strategic decisions rather than emotional ones.

How to Choose the Right Broker in Phoenix

Not all brokers are created equal. To find the best match for your business, look for a broker who:

Specializes in your industry or business size

Has a strong track record of closed deals in Phoenix

Offers a detailed marketing strategy and valuation process

Maintains strong relationships with attorneys, CPAs, and lenders

Has a client-first, confidential approach

Interview at least two or three brokers and ask for recent success stories to gauge their expertise.

Phoenix continues to be a thriving business market with diverse opportunities and growing investor interest. But navigating the complexities of buying or selling a business here requires more than just good intentions—it demands professional insight, market experience, and trusted guidance.

Whether you’re preparing to sell your business for retirement or looking to buy your first company in Arizona, partnering with a reputable business broker gives you a critical advantage. From valuation to closing, they manage every step of the process while protecting your interests and maximizing your outcome.

If you're considering a business move in Phoenix, don’t go it alone—let a professional broker guide you through the journey with confidence and clarity.

Where to Buy Cenforce 120 MG in California, U.S.

Cenforce 120 MG is a popular medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. Containing sildenafil citrate, the same active ingredient found in Viagra, Cenforce 120 MG helps improve blood flow to the penis, resulting in a firmer and longer-lasting erection. It has become a widely sought-after alternative due to its effectiveness and affordability. If you're located in California, U.S., and are considering where to purchase Cenforce 120 MG safely and discreetly, this guide will help you explore your best options.

1. Online Pharmacies

Online pharmacies are the most convenient and discreet way to buy Cenforce 120 MG in California. They offer doorstep delivery, competitive prices, and access to customer reviews to help guide your purchase.

Edpillsforever.com

One of the most trusted online sources for Cenforce 120 MG is Edpillsforever.com. This site specializes in ED medications and offers a variety of dosages, including Cenforce 100, 120, and 200 MG. Edpillsforever.com is known for:

Authentic medication with proper labeling

Secure payment options including credit cards and cryptocurrencies

Discreet shipping across California and the U.S.

Regular discounts and loyalty programs

The platform also provides helpful information about dosage, usage instructions, and possible side effects to ensure customer safety.

2. Local Pharmacies in California

While Cenforce is not typically available in U.S. brick-and-mortar pharmacies (since it's not FDA-approved like Viagra), some independent or specialty pharmacies may stock international ED medications. However, availability can be inconsistent, and a prescription might be required.

To explore this route:

Visit independent pharmacies in larger cities like Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, or San Francisco.

Call ahead to inquire about availability.

Consider asking if they carry generic sildenafil imported from India or other countries.

3. Telemedicine Platforms

Several telehealth services now offer ED treatment consultations and prescriptions entirely online. While many stick with FDA-approved brands, some offer access to international generics like Cenforce.

These platforms include:

Roman (getroman.com)

Hims (forhims.com)

BlueChew (bluechew.com) – Chewable sildenafil options

While these services may not directly offer Cenforce, they can be a starting point for getting a legal prescription for sildenafil, which can then be filled via international pharmacies such as Edpillsforever.com.

4. International Pharmacy Networks

Websites that operate internationally but ship to California are another alternative. These may offer bulk discounts and often do not require a prescription. However, always ensure the pharmacy is verified and reputable before sharing personal or financial information.

Final Tips for Buying Cenforce 120 MG in California

Verify the source: Choose established platforms like Edpillsforever.com with secure checkout and clear return policies.

Be cautious with pricing: If the deal looks too good to be true, it probably is.

Understand legality: Importing small quantities of medication for personal use is generally tolerated by U.S. Customs, but it's not officially FDA-approved.

Consult a doctor: Always speak to a healthcare provider before starting Cenforce or any ED treatment.
