The Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement has garnered tremendous attention and amassed a huge following since its inception in the 2010s. Advocates of the movement frequently reference a desire to return to an earlier time in American history—when life was simpler, food was more wholesome, and overall wellness was supposedly at its peak. But were Americans truly healthier in decades past? And does looking to the past genuinely promote better health, or is it merely a distraction that keeps us mired in nostalgia? Join us, two Registered Dietitians, as we explore the complexities of the MAHA movement and examine whether we should truly desire to return to a bygone era of American health.  Want to support the show and get bonus episodes?

Democracy stands at a crossroads in British Columbia as Michael Mulligan delivers a powerful analysis of the NDP's proposed Tariff Response Act (Bill C-7). Drawing on historical parallels that send shivers down the spine, Mulligan unpacks how this legislation bears troubling similarities to Nazi Germany's 1933 Enabling Act—legislation that effectively rendered their legislature irrelevant and set the stage for catastrophe.The bill's provisions would allow the government to make retroactive amendments to laws, shield officials from judicial review for procurement decisions, and potentially criminalize non-compliance with up to two years imprisonment. Most alarming is how the exclusion of the Offense Act creates a backdoor to criminal prosecution under Section 127 of the Criminal Code—potentially criminalizing actions that weren't illegal when performed. "The response to right-wing populism and erratic behaviour ought not to be a populist, left-wing, arbitrary response," Mulligan warns, as he urges Green Party MLAs who hold the balance of power to consider the weight of history before supporting such a transfer of power.In the second segment, Mulligan discusses a recent Victoria case with significant implications for homeowners and contractors. The court ruled that consumers can cancel construction contracts lacking specific completion dates within 12 months under the BC Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act. When a sunroom company demanded an additional $17,310 and dumped materials "the size of a small car" in a homeowner's driveway after cancellation, the judge ordered a full refund plus damages for trespass. Take note whether you're planning renovations or providing services—completion dates aren't just good business practice; they're legally required. Have you checked your contracts lately?Follow this link for a transcript of the show and links to the cases discussed. 

Will our phones be rid of unwanted calls from insurance companies and car-tracking services? Will we be free from robo-calls? There will be an amendment to Regulation 4 of the Consumer Protection Act and once promulgated, will allow for consumers to submit their choice to opt-out on a national registry run by the National Consumer Commission. Lester Kiewit speaks to Hardin Ratshisusu, the acting Commissioner at the National Consumer Commission, about the introduction of an opt out registry for direct marketing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The National Consumer Commission - NCC - has withdrawn it's precautionary product safety recall for Top Score instant porridge  after laboratory test results revealed no observable contamination of the batches tested. In October, the Commission advised South African consumers who purchased Top Score instant porridge to stop consuming the product and immediately return it to their retailer for a full refund. This after two toddlers and a baby died in Mdantsane, East London after allegedly eating the instant porridge. Following an investigation of the Namibia based Namib Mills, producers of the porridge and their local supplier,  the NCC has concluded that the company has not contravened the provisions of the Consumer Protection Act, particularly section 55, which relates to the provision of safe and quality goods. Bongiwe Zwane spoke to the National Consumer Commission Acting Commissioner, Hardin Ratshisusu

In this thought-provoking episode of Your Tech Report, Marc Aflalo sits down with Sandeep Panesar, to unpack the realities behind planned obsolescence and its effect on the tech industry and consumers. The discussion begins with a practical definition of planned obsolescence and its deliberate implementation by companies to encourage faster replacement cycles and sustain long-term sales. Sandeep shares his personal experience with an iPad Air 4 and the challenges he faced after updating to iOS 18, showcasing how software updates can unintentionally or intentionally lead to usability issues. The conversation also highlights the legal framework surrounding consumer rights, touching on Quebec's Consumer Protection Act and its similarities to the stringent EU consumer laws. Sandeep and Marc explore the implications of consumer brand loyalty and how information asymmetry benefits large corporations. They then transition into discussing the digital divide, hinting at the ways planned obsolescence can exacerbate technological disparities. Listeners will gain insights into how companies may influence upgrade cycles, the potential motivations behind these practices, and what consumers can do to stay informed. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in consumer rights, tech sustainability, and the deeper strategies tech companies employ to drive their product ecosystems.

Tredici presidenti – la vita, l'azione di governo, l'impatto che hanno avuto sull'America (e oltre) – raccontati in forma di una chiacchierata – non sempre seria. A fare le domande, Riccardo Alcaro, coordinatore delle ricerche dell'Istituto Affari Internazionali. Chi risponde è Mario Del Pero, illustre americanista e Professore di Storia Internazionale presso SciencesPo a Parigi. Oggi parliamo del 44° presidente degli Stati Uniti, il Democratico Barach Hussein Obama, in carica dal 2009 al 2017. Obama ha libertà di governare sul piano domestico solo per il biennio 2009-10 in cui i Democratici controllano tanto la Camera quanto il Senato, dove peraltro hanno una supermaggioranza di 60 senatori (fino alla morte di Ted Kennedy). Dopo che i Repubblicani torneranno a controllare la Camera (dal 2011) e poi il Senato (dal 2015), di fatto Obama riuscirà a fare poco in politica interna, e tutto quello che farà (in particolare sul fronte delle regolamentazioni ambientali e della protezione dei migranti entrati negli USA come minori o neonati) sarà soggetto a cause legali, a volte perse dell'Amministrazione. Nei due anni in cui può governare Obama ha due priorità: continuare e anzi accelerare la gestione della macro-crisi del 2008 e avanzare un'agenda di governo di ispirazione democratica. L'azione dell'Amministrazione Obama si traduce soprattutto nella promozione di tre grandi leggi approvate dal Congresso: La prima è il grande stimolo fiscale (del valore di circa 900 miliardi di dollari; la seconda legge è il Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, la riforma del mercato finanziario nota come Dodd-Frank; l'ultima grande legge fatta varare da Obama è naturalmente il Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, ovvero la grande riforma sanitaria nota come Obamacare. In politica estera Obama abbandona la retorica della Guerra Globale al Terrore, ma intensifica l'uso di droni per colpire sospetti terroristi, nonostante le controversie legali ed etiche per le vittime civili. In Europa rilancia la collaborazione con l'UE, che vede come un pilastro dell'ordine globale a guida americana e opera il reset con la Russia di Putin (ottenendo aiuto sull'Afghanistan, Iran e New Start); ma non prevede – e non si oppone con sufficiente durezza all'invasione russa dell'Ucraina del 2014 che risulta nell'annessione della Crimea e la destabilizzazione del Donbas. Le difficoltà in Medioriente ed Europa gli impediscono di dare maggiore sostanza al famoso pivot to Asia. Mantiene però relazioni molto buone con l'India e relativamente cordiali con la Cina, nonostante quest'ultima si faccia più aggressiva nel Mar cinese meridionale e sul fronte dello spionaggio. https://storiainpodcast.focus.it - Canale Personaggi A cura di Francesco De Leo.

Welcome to Supreme Court Opinions. In this episode, you'll hear the Court's opinion in Cantero v Bank of America. In this case, the court considered this issue: When are state laws that regulate national banks preempted under federal law? The case was decided on May 30, 2024. The Supreme Court held that under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, state laws are preempted only if they discriminate against national banks or “prevent or significantly interfere” with a national bank's exercise of its powers, as determined by the standard articulated in Barnett Bank v Nelson. Justice Brett Kavanaugh authored the unanimous opinion of the Court vacating the Second Circuit's judgment for failing to apply the proper preemption test. The Dodd-Frank Act, passed by Congress in 2010, establishes the controlling legal standard for determining when a state consumer financial law, like New York's interest-on-escrow law, is preempted with respect to national banks. Dodd-Frank expressly rejected the position that all state laws regulating national banks are automatically preempted. Rather, a state law is preempted by the National Bank Act only if: (1) the state law discriminates against national banks as compared to state banks; or (2) the state law "prevents or significantly interferes with the exercise by the national bank of its powers." In Barnett Bank v Nelson (1996), the Court explained the test for “prevents or significantly interferes with” requires courts to make a practical assessment of the nature and degree of interference caused by the state law, guided by the Court's precedents. Because the Second Circuit failed to conduct this nuanced analysis and instead employed a categorical test that would preempt virtually all state laws regulating national banks, the Court vacated its judgment and remanded the case for analysis in a manner consistent with the Barnett Bank standard. The opinion is presented here in its entirety, but with citations omitted. If you appreciate this episode, please subscribe.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Tuesday, July 30, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started:India's benchmark equity indices rose on Monday, with the Nifty nearly reaching the 25,000 mark during the session before paring its gains and closing just one point above its previous close. Similarly, the Sensex experienced marginal gains, ending the day 0.3 percent higher than its Friday close.Current and former employees of Byju's, once India's most-celebarted startup, are scrambling to file claims for unpaid salaries and other dues. The deadline to submit these claims is 31 July. This rush follows the edtech company's admission of insolvency, triggered by a bankruptcy petition filed by the BCCI. Employees are seeking to recover their compensation amid ongoing legal battles by Byju's founder, Byju Raveendran, who is challenging the insolvency order. As the legal drama unfolds with upcoming hearings, Mint's Mansi Verma reports that many employees are banding together to file their claims more efficiently and affordably. However, some are still out of the loop, struggling with the process or being deterred by potential legal fees.Ever wondered why alcohol brands often advertise products like music CDs and glass tumblers? This is known as surrogate advertising. Since direct alcohol ads are legally prohibited, companies use these alternative products to promote their brand name. The consumer affairs ministry is now drafting new rules to ensure these surrogate products genuinely stand alone in the market, rather than serving as covert advertisements for alcohol. Mint's Dhirendra Kumar reports that the ministry plans to require companies to prove that these products are actually sold in stores, with sales data made publicly available online. This initiative is part of the upcoming Consumer Protection Act 2029, which aims to clearly define acceptable advertising practices and prevent companies from using brand extensions to subtly market alcohol.Google, the titan of internet search, is now facing a wave of new challengers as AI reshapes the landscape. While Google's search engine has long been the default choice, the emergence of AI technologies like OpenAI's SearchGPT suggests a potential shift. SearchGPT, similar to Microsoft's Bing which also uses OpenAI's tech, enhances search capabilities with AI, making them more interactive and capable of retaining queries for smarter follow-up interactions. Google isn't resting on its laurels; it's experimenting with its own AI-enhanced search technologies through projects like the Search Generative Experience and the expanded Gemini AI model. However, the advent of these new AI-driven platforms indicates that Google's long-standing dominance could be under threat. Mint's Shouvik Das, in today's Primer, explores whether Google should be concerned about its position in a category it essentially pioneered.Ola Electric is gearing up for its public offering this Friday, with shares priced between 72 and 76 rupees. This values the company at $4 billion, down from the $5.4 billion valuation in its last private funding round. The company aims to raise 6,146 crore rupees, including 5,500 crore rupees through fresh equity and the remainder through an offer for sale by existing shareholders. In an interview with Mint's Mansi Verma, Ranjani Raghavan, and Nehal Chaliawala, Bhavish Aggarwal, the company's founder, highlighted Ola Electric's market leadership in India's electric two-wheeler segment, holding a 35 per cent share with nearly 330 thousand units sold in FY24. The company's revenue surged by 90 per cent to over 5,000 crore rupees in FY24, but losses also increased by 8 per cent, nearing 1,600 crore rupees.Launched in 2015, Bira quickly became a popular beer brand, taking the market by storm despite competition from established players like United Breweries' Kingfisher. However, the landscape has changed significantly. Bira's parent company, B9 Beverages, which also operates the Bira Taproom, has faced criticism for cancelling artists without providing necessary remunerations. Additionally, the company has been struggling financially. Mint's Varuni Khosla and Sumant Banerji spoke with several vendors for this deep dive into the beer brand's financial challenges, revealing multiple reports of delayed payments.We'd love to hear your feedback on this podcast.

The National Consumer Commission (NCC) is carrying out nationwide inspections to ensure businesses comply with consumer protection regulations. In Limpopo, the NCC has uncovered significant violations of the Consumer Protection Act, notably the sale of expired or near-expired products. The commission alleges that these suppliers are prioritizing their own interests over consumer well-being, and is taking action to hold them accountable.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Friday, June 21, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started:Indian benchmark indices, Nifty and Sensex, opened at record levels and touched new highs during the session before ending the day marginally higher, with Sensex up 0.18 percent and Nifty up 0.22 percent.From next June, every new smartphone and tablet sold in India will need to have a USB-C charging port so that consumers can charge all their devices with just one type of charger. The rule, which will include laptops by 2026, is part of India's efforts to align itself with global standards set by the European Union to enhance convenience and reduce waste.The new rule doesn't apply to feature phones and wearables for now, but it's a big step in the right direction. The Indian government said it plans to enforce the new standard vigorously. Companies that fail to comply will face penalties under the Consumer Protection Act, Mint's Dhirendra Kumar and Gulveen Aulakh report. There's also a push for makers of basic phones and other devices to voluntarily adopt USB-C ports, which would further unify charging standards. Leading smartphone makers such as Xiaomi and Oppo have already voiced their support.Sebi has issued a stern directive to Religare Enterprises Ltd, ordering it to comply with securities law. The development unfolded as the Burman family, promoters of Dabur, made moves to increase their stake in Religare through an open offer.Sebi instructed Religare's chairperson Rashmi Saluja and the board to seek necessary approvals from the Reserve Bank of India within a week. The action highlights Sebi's concerns about Religare's attempts to obstruct the open offer by the Burmans, who are significant stakeholders in Religare through various family-owned entities. Sebi intervened despite resistance from Religare – which expressed doubt about the Burmans' ability to improve the company's management – highlighting the importance of adhering to the proper procedures in an acquisition. Mint's Ranjani Raghavan and Neha Joshi report.Apple and Google are diving deep into generative AI, and making smartphones more capable in the process. Apple recently announced ‘Apple Intelligence', a set of tools that will allow iPhones, iPads and Macs to perform tasks such as transcribing calls, crafting emails, and generating images and emoticons. Google rolled out similar capabilities last September, and Samsung also offers similar AI features on its top-tier devices. However, not all AI tasks are processed on the device itself. Apple's Siri will soon be able to handle simple queries on-device but could tap OpenAI's ChatGPT for more complex requests. Google's Pixel phones and Samsung's devices need internet connections to access hefty AI models stored in the cloud.For now, these cutting-edge AI features are limited to premium models. Apple's AI suite is exclusive to its 15 Pro and Pro Max iPhones, while Google and Samsung have integrated AI into their latest devices, with potential expansions on the horizon. What's next for smartphones as tech giants throw their hats in the AI ring? Mint's tech correspondent Souvik Das has the answers in today's Primer.Omnichannel furniture retailer Pepperfry ventured into the furniture rental market in 2017, tapping the ‘sharing economy' vibe that appealed to India's young urbanites. At the time, the company estimated that the market could one day be worth $1 billion a year. Despite a promising start, Pepperfry ended its rental services in 2019, saying the market was too niche.There are still 157 companies worldwide that employ the rental model, including Indian firms such as Rentomojo and Furlenco. But most are still small, thanks to a complex market with overestimated potential. For instance mattress company Wakefit, which started in 2016, later ventured into furniture and saw revenue rise to 813 crore rupees by 2023. Rentomojo made 121 crore that year. These companies face plenty of challenges, from complex logistics to quality issues, and many renters have endured poor service and delayed pickups. Some companies are adapting by diversifying into appliances and electronics, while others are focusing on logistics to improve their services. Mint's startup correspondent Priyamvada C takes dives deep into the workings of furniture rental startups in today's Long Story.India is facing a brutal heatwave, with the Health Ministry reporting 110 heatstroke-related deaths and more than 40,000 suspected cases as of June 18. Most of the victims are in rural areas, where many people work outdoors and have limited access to healthcare. Madhya Pradesh has recorded the most heatstroke cases, followed by Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh, while Uttar Pradesh has seen the most deaths, reports Mint's Puja Das.We'd love to hear your feedback on this podcast.

Earlier this month, the Supreme Court ruled that advocates cannot be held liable under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, for deficiency in service. The Court also indicated that its 1995 decision that held medical professionals accountable under the Act may need to be revisited. It suggested that the definition of the term ‘services' under the Act, which includes the medical sector, be re-examined. The issue will be placed before a larger Bench. Should doctors, like lawyers, be kept out of the Consumer Protection Act? Here we discuss the question.

In the fourth episode of Satya Samvad, Dr. Mrittunjoy Guha Majumdar interacts with eminent social activist Shri V. K. Somashekar, Managing Trustee of Grahak Shakti and Member of the Consumer Action Group of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), on what are consumer rights, particularly in the Bharatiya context, and how we can work with testing and benchmarking of goods and services, technological tools, multi-dimensional advocacy and Aatmanirbharata, for re-envisioning the terms of engagement of consumers with the market and polity. Beyond transactions, modern consumerism shapes norms, defines identities, and influences economies. Today, consumers want the best goods and services for the best value, available to the most people. The marketplace is as much about control as it is of choice, as much about embracing aspirations as of empowerment. From chatbots to ChatGPT, technology such as artificial intelligence is transforming the way that businesses and services interact with consumers. Despite the formulation and implementation of the rather comprehensive Consumer Protection Act 2019, Bharat still grapples with various consumer rights violations, ranging from online fraud and product adulteration to inadequate redressal mechanisms. Any move to strengthen the consumer rights movement is a move towards decolonization and reinforcing economic democracy in the country. The more aware, the more involved our citizens are, as consumers within the political economy of the nation, the more robust will our democracy be, going forward.

If a recent commercial is to be believed, then FortisBC is in the business of selling outdoor gear. Nothing in the 30-second ad of a parent and child walking through a forest suggests that connecting your home to gas could lead to catastrophic global warming.  Two concerned B.C. residents and the organization Stand.Earth are taking FortisBC to court for using ads like this to greenwash its products. Lawyers from Ecojustice and Slater Vecchio LLP are bringing the case against FortisBC under the Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act. We speak with Andhra Azevedo, one of the lawyers at Ecojustice.

The inclusivity guidelines of Planet Fitness, a prominent gym chain, have stirred contentious discussions and induced pleas for widespread boycotts. At the crux of this controversy lies the unique policy adopted by the gym, which sanctifies the freedom of its members to select locker rooms in alignment with their gender identities. To safeguard against misuse, Planet Fitness implemented a rule which states, 'Should it be ascertained that any member is dishonestly asserting a false gender identity, the provisions include expulsion and potential termination of membership.' The discussion around this sensitive topic has been revisited due to a recent episode involving Patricia Silva. During her visit to a Planet Fitness outlet in Alaska, she was taken aback to find a 'male individual in the women's locker room'. She captured the incident in a video, which she subsequently shared online along with presenting her grievance to Planet Fitness. Unexpectedly, her membership was later annulled by the gym. The recurring question of locker room access based on gender identity is not a new one. It was highlighted in 2015 when Yvette Cormier's membership was discontinued by Planet Fitness, subsequent to her expressing concerns about sharing the locker room with a biological male identifying as a transgender woman. This occurrence transpired at one of the gym's branches in Michigan, causing Cormier to institute a legal proceeding against Planet Fitness. As a result of the lawsuit, the Appeals Court of Michigan ruled in favor of Cormier, asserting that Planet Fitness violated the Consumer Protection Act. The verdict attributed this violation to Planet Fitness' failure to adhere to their contractual promise of a private women's locker room to Cormier. Consequently, this episode has ignited further debate concerning the privacy, safety, and rights of both cisgender and transgender individuals frequenting public spaces such as the gym. These ongoing discussions, layered with conservative viewpoints, have fostered calls for boycotts against Planet Fitness. The individuals supporting the boycott argue this policy jeopardizes the safety of females by enabling self-identified transgender men to utilize women's facilities, potentially exposing them to threats. This wave of boycotts is primarily aimed at nudging Planet Fitness into reconsidering its policies with an emphasis on superior safety measures and privacy for all patrons without explicitly negating its objectives for transgender inclusivity. The actions and conversations borne out of this scenario underscore a larger, societal disagreement on how to strike the right balance between safety provision and respect for the rights and varied identities of transgender people. An incident in 2023 further illustrates the tension between these aspects. A biological male was taken into custody after he exposed himself to a 15-year-old girl in the female locker room of a Planet Fitness gym. The man, who was later arrested, allegedly approached the minor while she was taking a shower, horrifying her with his complete exposure before subsequently traumatizing her until she had no choice but to leave the locker room. At this point, it remains under investigation whether this deplorable incident was a consequence of the gym's inclusive policy, the individual's gender identity, or a separate factor altogether. In defense of its policy, Planet Fitness insists the rules were formed as part of a grander initiative to foster an inclusive and judgment-free zone that extends uniform acceptance to all gym members. They argue these policies align with the fight for LGBTQ+ rights, providing a safe haven for all genders, and facilitating their mission to pioneer inclusivity in fitness environments. Despite the ensuing backlash and demands for boycotts, Planet Fitness has gained support from LGBTQ+ advocacy groups and other similar institutions. Supporters commend the gym's firm stance against discrimination and its stride towards creating an inclusive space for every person without exception. The ongoing uproar brings to light the intricacies of managing gender identity, privacy, and personal safety in public places. It reflects the wider societal quandaries that these issues present. How businesses like Planet Fitness navigate these competing interests and adapt their policies in the future remains to be seen. Public places such as gyms are confronted with the difficult task of finding a balance between inclusivity and personal safety. Society as a whole grapples with varying opinions and morals, all which impact our perception of situations like these. Inclusivity often means considering and accommodating for a wide range of individuals and their personal experiences or identities. As businesses like Planet Fitness continue to navigate this complex landscape, it's crucial that the conversation remains open and respectful. Boycotts and public criticism are part of the democratic process, but dialogue should continue to ensure the best decisions are being made for everyone involved. The impact of these debates on future policies and practices in businesses and public spaces remains to be seen. We all play a crucial role in these conversations, as businesses and individuals alike are responsible for educating themselves and taking part in respectful dialogue.

It's WILD--Xylitol is a carbohydrate found in birch trees that is used as a sugar substitute, but it has also been studied for tooth decay prevention and ear infection prevention in children. It's ALSO been studied as a means of deactivating respiratory viruses and blocking viral adhesion to human airway tissue.When Covid hit, there were indications that using a xylitol spray known as Xclear could potentially deactivate adhesion of the virus to the nasal passages where the viral load for the disease is carried. The science was turned over to the US government by Xlear in hopes that they could offer a possible means of prevention or even early treatment option. The science was NEVER read.Instead, the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Xlear, on behalf of the United States, alleging that certain statements made by Xlear violated the Federal Trade Commission Act and the Consumer Protection Act. In this episode, we chat with CEO Nathan Jones who issued a statement in response to the lawsuit which read, in part, "Last year, the Government published on the website of the National Institutes of Health the results of a clinical trial (that) found people who were already sick with COVID-19, who used Xlear nasal spray—and just Xlear nasal spray—cleared the disease and tested negative in half the time of the average COVID-19 case. None of the patients developed severe cases, none required hospitalization. Now the Government is suing Xlear asserting, among other things, that when Xlear tells people about scientific studies, even ones republished by the NIH, we are somehow misleading people and making false claims. It's nonsensical."What's happening to Xlear sounds CRAZY, and worse, it continues to implicate the depths of corruption. You'll want to hear this story...and share it...because people need to know.

United States corporate law regulates the governance, finance and power of corporations in US law. Every state and territory has its own basic corporate code, while federal law creates minimum standards for trade in company shares and governance rights, found mostly in the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended by laws like the Sarbanes–Oxley Act of 2002 and the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The US Constitution was interpreted by the US Supreme Court to allow corporations to incorporate in the state of their choice, regardless of where their headquarters are. Over the 20th century, most major corporations incorporated under the Delaware General Corporation Law, which offered lower corporate taxes, fewer shareholder rights against directors, and developed a specialized court and legal profession. Nevada has attempted to do the same. Twenty-four states follow the Model Business Corporation Act, while New York and California are important due to their size. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

bankruptcy. In the United States, bankruptcy is largely governed by federal law, commonly referred to as the "Bankruptcy Code" ("Code"). The United States Constitution (Article 1, Section 8, Clause 4) authorizes Congress to enact "uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States". Congress has exercised this authority several times since 1801, including through adoption of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, codified in Title 11 of the United States Code and the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005. Some laws relevant to bankruptcy are found in other parts of the United States Code. For example, bankruptcy crimes are found in Title 18 of the United States Code (Crimes). Tax implications of bankruptcy are found in Title 26 of the United States Code (Internal Revenue Code), and the creation and jurisdiction of bankruptcy courts are found in Title 28 of the United States Code (Judiciary and Judicial procedure). Bankruptcy cases are filed in United States bankruptcy court (units of the United States District Courts), and federal law governs procedure in bankruptcy cases. However, state laws are often applied to determine how bankruptcy affects the property rights of debtors. For example, laws governing the validity of liens or rules protecting certain property from creditors (known as exemptions), may derive from state law or federal law. Because state law plays a major role in many bankruptcy cases, it is often unwise to generalize some bankruptcy issues across state lines. History. Originally, bankruptcy in the United States, as nearly all matters directly concerning individual citizens, was a subject of state law. However, there were several short-lived federal bankruptcy laws before the Act of 1898: the Bankruptcy Act of 1800, which was repealed in 1803; the Act of 1841, which was repealed in 1843; and the Act of 1867, which was amended in 1874 and repealed in 1878. The first more lasting federal bankruptcy law, sometimes called the "Nelson Act", initially entered into force in 1898. The current Bankruptcy Code was enacted in 1978 by § 101 of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, and generally became effective on October 1, 1979; it completely replaced the former bankruptcy law, the "Chandler Act" of 1938, which had given unprecedented power to the Securities and Exchange Commission for the regulation of bankruptcy filings. The current code has been amended numerous times since 1978. See also the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005. Chapters of the Bankruptcy Code. Entities seeking relief under the Bankruptcy Code may file a petition for relief under a number of different chapters of the Code, depending on circumstances. Title 11 contains nine chapters, six of which provide for the filing of a petition. The other three chapters provide rules governing bankruptcy cases in general. A case is typically referred to by the chapter under which the petition is filed. These chapters are described below. Chapter 7: Liquidation. Liquidation under a Chapter 7 filing is the most common form of bankruptcy. Liquidation involves the appointment of a trustee who collects the non-exempt property of the debtor, sells it and distributes the proceeds to the creditors. Because all states allow for debtors to keep essential property, Chapter 7 cases are often "no asset" cases, meaning that the bankrupt estate has no non-exempt assets to fund a distribution to creditors. Chapter 7 bankruptcy remains on a bankruptcy filer's credit report for 10 years. United States bankruptcy law significantly changed in 2005 with the passage of Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act (US) —- BAPCPA, which made it more difficult for consumer debtors to file bankruptcy in general and Chapter 7 in particular. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

House Energy and Commerce Committee Ranking Member Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) and Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) introduced the Food Labeling Modernization Act of 2023. The bill would update front-of-package food labeling requirements, require updates to the ingredient list on packaged foods, and apply consumer friendly labeling requirements.Among many other labeling issues, the bill would amend FALPCA (Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act) to require that food product packaging disclose ALL gluten-containing grains. We've been down this road before with the FLMA of 2021, but we are making progress. As is stated in the press release, “Food labels play an important role in managing conditions such as celiac disease and gluten sensitivity, but they need to be complete and easier to understand.” said Senator Cardin." The press release also lists the groups currently supporting this legislation: "The Food Labeling Modernization Act is supported by Center for Science in the Public Interest, Consumer Reports, Consumer Federation of America, Environmental Working Group, International Fresh Produce Association, Gluten Free Watchdog, Celiac Disease Foundation, and Beyond Celiac."Stay tuned for ways to get involved by asking your representative for support.Read the full press release here: https://democrats-energycommerce.house.gov/newsroom/press-releases/pallone-and-blumenthal-introduce-food-labeling-modernization-legislation Hosted on Acast.

On March 10, Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) collapsed after what many are calling a bank run, triggering the second largest bank failure in U.S. history. Since then, regulators and policymakers have searched for answers, mid-sized banks across the country have struggled to assuage fears over their stability, and Swiss investment firm Credit Suisse has been taken over by UBS as the SVB fallout has rippled through the economy.On this episode of What's at Stake, Bryan DeAngelis, a partner at Penta, and Ylan Mui, a managing director at the firm, are joined by Aaron Klein to discuss the impacts of SVB's collapse and–as Aaron sees it–the failure of our banking regulatory system. Aaron Klein is currently a senior fellow in Economic Studies at the Brookings Institution, focused on financial technology and regulation, payments, macroeconomics, and infrastructure finance and policy. Between 2009 and 2012, Klein served as the deputy assistant secretary for economic policy at the Department of Treasury, where he helped develop and secure the passage of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010.The group discusses how the Fed failed to implement proper oversight of SVB, Michael Barr's pre-written testimony, and if we should be allowing more banks to fail. They also answer the question: Was this the first bank run of the social media ageRead more from Aaron Klein here.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: Following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, the Treasury Department, the Federal Reserve, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation announced they will guarantee all customer deposits—even those exceeding the FDIC's standard $250,000 per depositor guarantee. According to The Wall Street Journal, “[a] senior Treasury official said the steps didn't constitute a bailout because stock and bondholders in SVB and Signature wouldn't be protected.” Silicon Valley Bank had been the 16th largest bank in America with an estimated $175 billion in deposits, but after losing billions investing in long-term assets customers attempted to withdraw an estimated $42 billion in deposits resulting in the bank's ultimate collapse.

But didn't the Federal Reserve ultimately decide to bailout depositors? 4:30pm- During her acceptance speech at Sunday's 95th Annual Academy Awards, Best Actress in a Leading Role Michelle Yeoh took a shot at CNN's Don Lemon for his comments about women of a certain age being “past their prime.” 4:45pm- Dr. EJ Antoni—Research Fellow for Regional Economics in the Center for Data Analysis at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to explain the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. Dr. Antoni debunks the Biden Administration's narrative that the Treasury Department, the Federal Reserve, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation are not bailing out depositors with taxpayer dollars.

Bloom writes, “Biden has consistently blamed Trump for Covid deaths…Although largely ignored now, the Afghanistan withdrawal is one of Biden's biggest and deadliest disasters. At the time, Biden explained it was Trump's fault for making a deal with the Taliban. For some reason, THIS was the one Trump policy Biden was bound to and couldn't change. Although the last troops withdrew after the negotiated date, Biden still blamed Trump…When the Biden administration had to acknowledge that a Chinese spy balloon had penetrated U.S. airspace, they were quick to add that three prior incidents happened when Trump was president.” You can read Bloom's article here: https://broadandliberty.com/2023/03/09/andy-bloom-biden-plays-the-blame-game/ 6:30pm- While appearing on Fox News with Larry Kudlow, former Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers Kevin Hassett revealed that buyers were willing to “step in” and purchase Silicon Valley Bank. 6:35pm- While speaking with Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) on ABC''s This Week, host Martha Raddatz baselessly claimed the Trump Administration was responsible for the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank.                          6:45pm- Rep.
