U-Haul Offers Disaster Relief After Derecho Hits North Dakota, Minnesota

FARGO, N.D.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 21, 2025--
U-Haul ® is extending 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box ® container usage at seven centers across eastern North Dakota and northern Minnesota to residents affected by tornadoes that left a wide path of destruction Friday night and into the early hours of Saturday.
A derecho with winds exceeding 100 mph moved across numerous counties in both states, damaging properties and leaving thousands without power. There were multiple tornado sightings throughout the fast-moving storm system.
Enderlin, N.D., located southwest of Fargo, and Bemidji, Minn., were among the communities hardest hit.
Access to dry and secure self-storage and portable storage containers can be vital to communities during the clean-up and recovery process after natural disasters.
The 30 days free offer applies to new self-storage and U-Box rentals and is based on availability. The U-Box offer is for on-site storage at Company centers, and for customers who tow their portable storage container. U-Box delivery and pick-up is also available for a modest cost.

Intel to outsource marketing to Accenture and AI, resulting in more layoffs

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Employees at Intel's marketing division were informed that many of their roles will be handed over to Accenture, which will use AI to handle tasks traditionally done by Intel staff, reports OregonLive. The decision is part of a company-wide restructuring plan that includes job cuts, automation, and streamlining of execution. The marketing division has been one of Intel's key strengths since the company began communicating directly with end users with the launch of its "Intel Inside" campaign in 1991. However, it looks like the company will drastically cut its human-driven marketing efforts going forward, as it plans to lay off many of its marketing employees, believing that Accenture's AI will do a better job connecting Intel with customers. The number of positions affected was not disclosed, but Intel confirmed changes will significantly alter team structures, with only 'lean' teams remaining. Workers will be told by July 11 whether they will remain with the company. Among other things, the aim of the restructuring is to free up internal teams to focus on strategic, creative, and high-value projects, rather than routine functions. Therefore, Intel intends to use Accenture's AI in various aspects of marketing, including information processing, task automation, and personalized communications. Intel has acknowledged the shift to Accenture and explained that this will not only cut costs but will modernize its capabilities and strengthen its brand. How exactly the usage of AI instead of real people can reinforce the brand hasn't been explained yet. "As we announced earlier this year, we are taking steps to become a leaner, faster and more efficient company," a statement by Intel published by OregonLive reads. "As part of this, we are focused on modernizing our digital capabilities to serve our customers better and strengthen our brand. Accenture is a longtime partner and trusted leader in these areas and we look forward to expanding our work together." In messages to staff published by OregonLive, Intel indicated that part of the restructuring may involve existing employees training Accenture contractors by explaining how Intel's operations work. This knowledge transfer would occur during the transitional phase of the outsourcing plan, although it is unclear how long this phase will take.

2 world-class growth shares to consider buying during a stock market crash

It's always a smart idea to have a shopping list of shares at hand. This is what I had in April when the proverbial hit the fan, saving me valuable time deciding which stocks to buy when many suddenly went on sale. Two on my list were Shopify and Nvidia, and I took my chance when things quickly went south. Those positions are currently up 40% and 51% respectively since early April. Here are two shares that look overvalued, but which I think investors should consider putting on a shopping list for the next bear market or crash. The first is Axon Enterprise (NASDAQ: AXON). As well as owning the Taser brand, the company sells body-cams, dash-cams, and various software products to law enforcement customers. It's also innovating in drones, VR training, and powerful artificial intelligence (AI)-powered tools. Last year, revenue jumped 33% to $2.1bn, up from $681m in 2020. Over $1bn of that is now annual recurring revenue, while total future contracted bookings rose to $10.1bn. The company continues to scale up very impressively. This rapid progress is reflected in the share price, which has vaulted 700% in three years. The key risk now then is valuation, with the shares trading at 27 times sales. If Axon's growth underwhelms, the stock could sell off heavily. But I think this is definitely one to consider picking up during any such sell-off. The enterprise growth opportunity's very large. Take body-cams, for example. In an attempt to reduce attacks on staff, Walmart's piloting black-and-yellow body-cams in some stores (Axon's signature colours). Management points out that Walmart has 2.1m retail workers, far in excess of the 900,000 cops in the US. What about airlines? Cabin crew are no strangers to abusive behaviour. Cameras can provide evidence, reduce false claims, and deter aggression. They would integrate with Axon's cloud-based evidence system, adding to the recurring revenue. Meanwhile, the company's sitting on a library of video data that's roughly 40 times larger than that belonging to Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX). Axon's using this vast data trove to train AI models and power a growing suite of tools, embedding it ever deeper into customers' daily workflows. Looking ahead, the international opportunity in Europe, Latin America and Asia remains largely untapped. Returning to Netflix, I think the global streaming leader is worthy of consideration. But perhaps not right now around $1,220. This price puts the stock at 13 times sales and 49 times forward earnings. Again, this stretched valuation leaves very little margin for error, particularly if subscriber growth unexpectantly slows. Long term though, I'm bullish on Netflix. The firm possesses an incredible brand and streaming still has plenty of room to grow globally. It also offers fantastic value for money. At £12.99, my Netflix subscription's probably one of the last discretionary things I would cut. The new ad-supported tier is just £5.99 a month — less than the price of a pint in London nowadays! I think Netflix can keep increasing prices for years without losing too many subscribers. The firm has set a goal of reaching a $1trn market-cap by 2030, up from $520bn today. I think that's achievable, especially if cutting-edge generative AI helps it make content for less money.
