Today on Uncommon Sense, we're discussing the tragic state of the modern world.From the protests in Ireland to growing frustration across Western nations, many people feel as though their voices are no longer being heard by the institutions that claim to represent them. I'll share why I support the right of people to protest and why I believe the demonstrations in Ireland have resonated with so many people around the world.We'll also discuss what I see as a deeper spiritual crisis affecting modern society. Many of the political, cultural, and social problems we face today are symptoms of a broader moral and spiritual decline, one that cannot be solved through politics alone.In this episode:My thoughts on the protests in IrelandWhy so many citizens now feel disconnected from their governmentsThe growing divide between ordinary people and powerful institutionsThe role of faith, morality, and personal responsibility in rebuilding societyWhy I believe many of today's crises point to a deeper spiritual battleWhether you agree or disagree, this episode is an invitation to think critically about the direction of our culture, our governments, and our future.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

From June 26, 2024: On June 10, the jury reached a verdict in the federal trial against Chiquita Banana. It found that the company had financed a paramilitary group in Colombia in the late 1990s and early 2000s, resulting in the deaths of eight men, and it awarded the victims' families $38 million in damages. It's the culmination of a 17-year-long multi-district litigation that had faced significant procedural, evidentiary, and legal challenges. And it may represent a new frontier in the fight to hold corporations legally accountable for human rights violations.Executive Editor Natalie Orpett discussed the case and its implications with Michael Posner, Director of the Center for Business and Human Rights at New York University's Stern School of Business and a former Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

In this episode, Jojo Mehta, CEO of Stop Ecocide International, explores the growing global movement to recognize ecocide as an international crime. Building on the vision she developed with the late Polly Higgins, Mehta explains why criminal law—alongside regulation—is essential to closing accountability gaps in a fragmented world. She reflects on the milestones that have moved ecocide from the margins to mainstream legal and diplomatic debate, and what its adoption could mean in practice for governments, corporations, and investors confronting the climate crisis. Looking ahead, she outlines practical steps for action and a credible pathway toward systemic change. This is a thoughtful and persuasive conversation that makes a powerful case for why ecocide law could reshape global incentives—well worth a listen.Learn more on GlobalGovernanceForum.org

An attorney preparing to file a federal lawsuit against a Tennessee explosives manufacturer over a deadly 2025 blast alleged this week that the company pushed its production beyond a safe level in an effort to fulfill a Pentagon contract.Darren Richie, who represents the families of two of the 16 people killed in the October explosion at Accurate Energetic Systems, said during a Friday news conference that AES neglected safety hazards to increase production for the $120 million federal contract, the Tennessean reported. He indicated the families intend to file their lawsuit this month and will seek $150 million in damages.The statement came about a week after Tennessee's OSHA (TOSHA) department concluded a six-month investigation into the explosion and cited AES with 100 violations totaling over $3.1 million in penalties. The cited hazards included explosive dust buildup on equipment and workers spraying flammable paint near hot equipment without proper safeguards. The agency said the penalty is the largest in its history.#ManufacturingNews #IndustrialSafety #WorkplaceSafety #OSHA #Explosion #BreakingNews #IndustrialAccident #SafetyViolations #ChemicalSafety #ProcessSafety #WorkplaceHazards #FactoryExplosion #LegalNews #CorporateAccountability #CSB #SafetyFirst #USNews #IndustrialDisaster #Compliance #Engineering

The owner of a New Hampshire mustard company has been sentenced to prison for orchestrating a years-long scheme to send polluted water from his facility into a nearby river.Charles Santich, owner of the Old Dutch Mustard Company, was given an 18-month prison sentence while his company is being forced to pay $1.5 million for violating the Clean Water Act.The Greenville, New Hampshire facility, which makes Old Dutch brand vinegar and mustard products, generates acidic wastewater and stormwater. Without the necessary permit to discharge the polluted water, Old Dutch was required to store it in tanks and have a trucking company haul it away.Instead, Santich in 2015 hired an excavation company to bury a pipe from the Old Dutch Mustard facility to discharge the acidic water in the general direction of the Souhegan River near an abandoned railroad bed. He made sure the discharge point was downstream of continuous environmental monitoring required by the EPA and state of New Hampshire, according to a Justice Department complaint.#EnvironmentalCrime #CleanWaterAct #EPA #WaterPollution #EnvironmentalNews #ManufacturingNews #CorporateAccountability #Pollution #IndustrialWaste #LegalNews #Sustainability #PublicHealth #RiverPollution #Regulations #USNews #EnvironmentalProtection #Compliance #Justice #EcoNews #WasteManagement

Democrat Katie Porter was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018, flipping an Orange County seat that had long been held by Republicans. She made waves in Congress with her incisive grilling of CEOs and corporate leaders, often  using a whiteboard to make her point. Now, Porter is running for governor following an unsuccessful Senate campaign in 2024. She joins Marisa and Scott in studio to discuss her gubernatorial agenda, including a proposal to eliminate state income taxes for families making under $100,000 a year. They also discuss her upbringing in Iowa, what she learned watching the 1980s farm crisis wreak havoc on her community, how she became a protégé of Sen. Elizabeth Warren and what it's like working in politics as a single mom of three kids. This interview is part of a series of conversations with the 2026 gubernatorial candidates for California.

A recent legal case involving Dyson and 24 migrant workers is being called a landmark moment for business and human rights—but why? After the UK Court of Appeal allowed the case to be heard in the UK, despite the alleged abuses taking place at a supplier factory in Malaysia, big questions are being raised about corporate accountability overseas. In this episode, IHRB's Salil Tripathi is joined by Anna Triponel, the founder of Human Level, and Oliver Holland, a partner at law firm Leigh Day unpack what this case means and why it matters.

What does accountability look like in a world shaped by AI, geopolitics, and rising stakeholder expectations? In this episode, Robin Hodess of GRI explores how the role of sustainability reporting is shifting and why companies that treat it as strategic data, not compliance, will be better positioned to compete.In this episode of Sustainable EdgeHost Joachim Nahem, Executive Chairman and Co-Founder at Position Green, sits down with Robin Hodess, CEO of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), to explore how corporate accountability is being reshaped in a world defined by geopolitical tension, technological disruption, and rising expectations. As the original standard setter for sustainability reporting—emerging from initiatives that followed major environmental crises like Exxon Valdez—GRI has played a central role in defining how companies measure and communicate their impact. But today, the landscape is far more complex. Accountability is no longer limited to environmental damage. It now includes issues such as data privacy, AI, social inequality, governance, and the broader role of business in society.Robin Hodess unpacks how sustainability reporting is evolving from a compliance exercise into a critical source of strategic insight. She explains why businesses must move beyond fragmented frameworks and focus on what truly matters, using data to navigate risk, identify opportunities, and make better decisions.Learn about:From reporting to decision making: Why sustainability data is becoming essential for strategy, risk management, and long-term business growthThe expanding scope of accountability: How issues like AI, data centres, nature, and social impact are redefining what companies are responsible forComplexity vs clarity: Why more frameworks and regulation have created confusion and how leaders can focus on what truly mattersMateriality in practice: How companies can prioritize the most relevant impacts without being overwhelmed by the breadth of ESG topicsGlobal fragmentation and standards: What rising geopolitical tensions mean for reporting requirements and why harmonisation matters more than everThe business value of transparency: Why 73 percent of studies show a positive link between sustainability reporting and financial performanceLeadership and credibility: How companies can rebuild trust by moving beyond claims and focusing on evidence, progress, and accountabilityAbout Robin HodessRobin Hodess is the CEO of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the world's leading standard setter for sustainability reporting. With a career spanning finance, ethics, and global governance, she has held senior roles at Transparency International and other international organisations. Robin brings a long term perspective on corporate transparency, accountability, and the role of business in addressing global challenges. Under her leadership, GRI continues to shape how companies measure, manage, and communicate their impact in an increasingly complex world.Resources from this episode:From Impact to Income: How sustainability reporting affects the bottom Line: Decoding biodiversity impacts: A practical guide to corporate reporting with the GRI Standards: Case studies on reporting with GRI 101 and TNFD: Resources from this episode:From Impact to Income: How sustainability reporting affects the bottom Line: Decoding biodiversity impacts: A practical guide to corporate reporting with the GRI Standards: Case studies on reporting with GRI 101 and TNFD:

As we approach the 250th anniversary of Adam Smith's “Wealth of Nations" this March, his theories on competition and the invisible hand remain part of the bedrock of modern economics. But, have we undermined those theories in our economy today? Widespread public anger suggests there is a growing belief that our current economic system is fundamentally rigged by those at the top. In many instances, backroom access and elite networking appear to be driving who becomes wealthy and successful instead of meritocratic competition. What would the father of economics think about today's crony capitalism, and what would he make of the so-called "Epstein class"? In this episode, we are joined by British Member of Parliament and author of “Adam Smith: Father of Economics” Jesse Norman. He argues that people often forget Smith deeply distrusted concentrated power, highlighting that Smith was heavily critical of wealth generated from insider knowledge or collusion. Smith condemned these practices precisely because they destroy the genuine competition required for free markets to actually benefit society. Applying this historical lens to current events, co-host Luigi Zingales provocatively asks if the so-called “Epstein Class” embody Adam Smith's worst fears, coordinating favors to bypass free market competition. Co-host Bethany McLeans debates whether we should call it a class, or if fixating on Epstein is a distraction from the broader systemic corruption threatening capitalism today. This episode offers a fresh look at the father of economics, and it is the first in a series of episode we're doing that strip away the caricatures of Adam Smith to ask what he'd really make of today's capitalism.

Comments/ideas: ACFpod@outlook.comHow is AI turning climate reporting from a tick‑box task into something useful? Greg Elders from Canbury Insights explains why financial materiality sits back at the heart of climate strategy. He shows how this shift affects investors, regulators and companies.We examine Europe pushing for real sustainable impact under CSRD, the US facing ESG uncertainty and mixed signals from regulators, and Asian firms juggling ISSB and TCFD standards while dealing with regional economic pressures.Greg sets out how large language models read annual reports, proxy statements and local media. They link business growth to physical climate risks such as water scarcity. The result is faster insight and sharper scrutiny.We discuss targeted stewardship, greenwashing risks and the future of global reporting frameworks. Greg also explains why a single global standard remains a “crazy dream”. Automated scrutiny is already changing corporate behaviour, and the pace is only accelerating.ABOUT GREG: Gregory Elders is Director, North America, at Canbury Insights. He is a recognised sustainable investing expert, leading Canbury's North American operations and client engagements. He advises investors and companies in navigating evolving sustainability and stewardship expectations, building robust assessment and reporting systems, and aligning sustainability strategies with financial performance.HOST, PRODUCTION, ARTWORK: Joseph Jacobelli | MUSIC: Ep76 onward excerpts from Vivaldi's La Follia, played by Luca Jacobelli.

You ever wonder why you can't eat just one chip? Or why chicken tastes different than it did decades ago? In this episode, I break down how the food industry engineered salt, sugar and fat to hit your brain's “bliss point,” how fast food reshaped American farming, and why profit became more important than public health.

Comment on the Show by Sending Mark a Text Message.What happens when a financial villain becomes a plaintiff in a landmark legal battle? Join Mark Carey in this riveting episode of the Employee Survival Guide® as we dissect the extraordinary journey of Tom Hayes, the former trader at the center of the LIBOR scandal. After being convicted and then having his conviction quashed, Hayes has turned the tables, suing his former employer, UBS, for a staggering $400 million for malicious prosecution. This isn't just a story about money; it's about justice, employee rights, and the complexities of navigating a hostile work environment. As we delve into the dramatic twists of this malicious prosecution case, we explore the multifaceted implications of Hayes' autism spectrum disorder on his actions and decision-making processes. How does this impact his narrative and the way the world perceives him? In a corporate landscape often riddled with discrimination and retaliation, Hayes' story serves as a powerful reminder of the challenges employees face when standing up against powerful employers. The contrasting narratives presented by Hayes and UBS raise critical questions about corporate accountability, the ethics of employee treatment, and the ever-present issues of discrimination in the workplace. Throughout the episode, we dissect the legal documents that frame this high-stakes malicious prosecution case, shedding light on the intricacies of employment law and the potential ramifications for the financial industry. What does this mean for employees navigating their own work disputes? How can understanding such cases empower workers to negotiate better severance packages or combat workplace harassment? The insights shared here are not just for those embroiled in legal battles; they resonate with anyone seeking to understand their rights and responsibilities in the workplace. As we wrap up this compelling narrative, we reflect on the broader implications of Hayes' malicious prosecution case for corporate governance and employee survival strategies. This episode of the Employee Survival Guide® is not just about one man's fight for justice; it's about empowering every employee to stand up against discrimination, advocate for their rights, and navigate the often murky waters of employment contracts and corporate policies. Tune in to discover how you can apply these lessons to your own career and workplace culture, ensuring that you are equipped with the knowledge and skills to thrive in any environment. Whether you're facing challenges in your job, negotiating severance, or simply looking to enhance your understanding of employment law issues, this episode is packed with valuable insights and actionable advice.

Against the backdrop of the final Omnibus agreement emerging from trilogues, what will continued US political and corporate pressure mean for the future of EU environmental and human rights due diligence legislation? In this episode of the Frankly Speaking podcast, Richard Howitt was joined by Abrial Gilbert-d'Halluin, Policy Advisor for MEP Raden Kanev and original parliamentary sherpa for the Corporate Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), and Professor Michael Mehling, Deputy Director of the Centre for Energy and Environmental Policy Research at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Together they discussed the principle of extraterritoriality in the EU's CSDDD legislation, and why it's seen such unprecedented pushback from both politicians and businesses in the United States lobbying against the directive. You'll also hear more about: Why the CSDDD's extra-territorial reach is so important in limiting environmental and human rights abuses across global value chains  The US perspective on EU sustainability and due diligence rules, and why both sides of the American political spectrum take issue with external corporate regulation (including the Clinton administration back in the 1990s) How the US is responding to the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), including the showdown between the ‘Brussels vs Trump effect' The crucial role of sovereignty in discussions on external regulation The vague wording of the EU-US trade deal on the CSDDD, and what it means for the effectiveness of the directive's extraterritoriality principle How US corporates are doing on environmental and human rights due diligence  What makes Michael and Abrial optimistic for the future of corporate accountability globally Listen in and follow us on LinkedIn and Youtube! 

In this episode of Quakers Today, co-hosts Sweet Miche (they/them) and Peterson Toscano (he/him) invite you to learn more about the sometimes baffling practice of silent worship. Whether you're a long-time Friend or someone who has never stepped into a mostly silent meeting, we are pulling back the curtain to explore what happens in our hearts, minds, and bodies when we sit together in worship. The Purpose of Ministry We speak with author Rhiannon Grant about her book, Speaking in Quaker Meeting for Worship: What, When, How, and Why. Rhiannon helps us understand the purpose of spoken ministry in the silent meeting, explaining how speech that deepens silence is a vital part of our shared spiritual practice.  Quote: "The purpose of ministry then might be understood as deepening the silence of meeting for worship." Read a review of Speaking in Quaker Meeting for Worship by Paul Buckley at FriendsJournal.org.  Learn more about Rhiannon Grant's book and other Quaker Quicks at QuakerBooks.org/Collections/Quaker-Quicks. Our First Meetings for Worship Peterson and Sweet Miche share their first experiences in Quaker worship: Peterson's search for community after 9/11 and Sweet Miche's feeling of guidance at Pendle Hill. We also hear from Paula Christophersen, a Quaker in Germany, who shared her first experience of ministry. You can watch the full video of Paula Christophersen on YouTube or at QuakerSpeak.com. Meeting for Worship with Attention to Worship Peterson introduces a new format for meeting for worship he's been experimenting with: Meeting for Worship with Attention to Worship. This model of worship uses the meeting's existing structure to guide newcomers by making the internal work of worship visible and conversational. Quaker Fiction We explore how writers use fiction and poetry to make the internal, mystical experience of worship visible. Anne E.G. Nydam's story, “The Conduits”, reveals the flow of connection in meeting through glowing lines of light. Peterson shares two of his short stories! “Penn's Spring”, uses a mysterious, unexplained wet patch on a meetinghouse wall to represent a spiritual movement in a "stagnant and dry" meeting. “What Is Actually There” features a high-schooler named Jordan reflecting on the enduring effort of the Quaker path. “A Fine Showing for the Court of Owls” by Jonathan Doering is a story about the radical Quaker abolitionist Benjamin Lay. Read Quaker-themed fiction and poetry in the November 2025 issue of Friends Journal. Listener Responses Who is someone you've encountered in fiction that embodies Quakerness? The character could be from a book or movie. They could be a hero or even a minor character, and they do not need to be Quaker.  This month's fictional “Quakers” include: Pooh Bear, Maisie Dobbs, Gumby, Ted Lasso, Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, WALL-E, Stevens from The Remains of the Day, and Dorothea from George Eliot's Middlemarch. Next Month's Question We want to hear from you! What do you believe now that you didn't believe before becoming a friend or before encountering Quakerism?  Leave us a voice memo with your name and town at 317-QUAKERS (317-782-5377).

As Andrew puts it, “Your money...really defines the future.” Global Momentum and Regional Nuance Marilyn Waite underscores that sustainable investing has gone mainstream across the globe, now representing over one-third of global assets under management.

Transparent frameworks and practical tools—like As You Sow's InvestYourValues platform—empower investors to know exactly what they own and avoid greenwashing. Corporate Accountability and the Power of NarrativeIoannis Ioannou shares how ESG outperformance research is nuanced—successful sustainable companies embed responsibility in strategy, not just reporting. He calls for a “positive narrative” that unites all stakeholders: “Transparency is necessary but not sufficient. We need to align corporate action with a system that works within its limits—and tell a compelling, evidence-based story.” Call-to-Action Let's inspire you with one action item to move the needle this week: take a moment to review your own portfolio or investment choices and ask yourself, "How well do they align with your personal values?" Even small shifts can make a big impact over time. If you haven't explored sustainable investing before, start by researching one company or fund that prioritizes environmental or social responsibility.

In this deeply insightful episode, we welcome Ashka Naik, PhD candidate and Director of Research and Policy at Corporate Accountability, a global human rights and social justice NGO. Ashka joins Vera and Molly to explore how food systems have been colonized by powerful industry players, and why the words we use to describe what we eat matter more than ever. We unpack the political, historical, and spiritual dimensions of what Ashka calls “violent processing”—a system that has robbed us of biodiversity, cultural wisdom, ancestral practices, and even language itself. Drawing connections between ultra-processed food products, neocolonial economic models, and public health crises, Ashka makes the case for reclaiming food as power and justice. This is more than a conversation about nutrition. It's a call to collective memory, systemic change, and grassroots action.

All too often, capitalism is identified with the for-profit sector. However, one organizational form whose importance is often overlooked is nonprofits. Roughly 4% of the American economy, including most universities and hospital systems, are nonprofit.One prominent nonprofit currently at the center of a raging debate is OpenAI, the $300 billion American artificial intelligence research organization best known for developing ChatGPT. Founded in 2015 as a donation-based nonprofit with a mission to build AI for humanity, it created a complex “hybrid capped profit” governance structure in 2019. Then, after a dramatic firing and re-hiring of CEO Sam Altman in 2023 (covered on an earlier episode of Capitalisn't: “Who Controls AI?”), a new board of directors announced that achieving OpenAI's mission would require far more capital than philanthropic donations could provide and initiated a process to transition to a for-profit public benefit corporation. This process has been fraught with corporate drama, including one early OpenAI investor, Elon Musk, filing a lawsuit to stop the process and launching a $97.4 billion unsolicited bid for OpenAI's nonprofit arm.Beyond the staggering valuation numbers at stake here–not to mention OpenAI's open pursuit of profits over the public good–are complicated legal and philosophical questions. Namely, what happens when corporate leaders violate the founding purpose of a firm? To discuss, Luigi and Bethany are joined by Rose Chan Loui, the founding executive director of the Lowell Milken Center on Philanthropy and Nonprofits at UCLA Law and co-author of the paper "Board Control of a Charity's Subsidiaries: The Saga of OpenAI.” Is OpenAI a “textbook case of altruism vs. greed,” as the judge overseeing the case declared? Is AI for everyone, or only for investors? Together, they discuss how money can distort purpose and philanthropy, precedents for this case, where it might go next, and how it may shape the future of capitalism itself.Show Notes:Read extensive coverage of the Musk-OpenAI lawsuit on ProMarket, including Luigi's article from March 2024: “Why Musk Is Right About OpenAI.”Guest Disclosure (provided to The Conversation for an op-ed on the case): The authors do not work for, consult, own shares in, or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article. They have disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their academic appointment.

Additionally, Paxton addresses the critical issues surrounding the Texas border, including immigration policies and enforcement. With a focus on MAHA (Make America Great Again) ideals and legal reforms, this conversation offers a unique perspective on some of the most pressing matters in Texas and the nation today.

Union power, corporate influence, and a presidency without guardrails—Michael Desrosiers and Ken Diaz break down what's ahead for labor rights in Trump's second term.Michael sits down with Ken Diaz, Master Executive Council President for United Airlines Flight Attendants, to talk about the challenges unions may face under the new administration. With Trump back in office, what happens to the surge in worker activism? Will the momentum behind union organizing hold, or will corporate influence push back even harder?Ken shares his perspective on key labor appointments, calling some a pleasant surprise while questioning whether they'll have real influence. He and Michael discuss the recent wave of strikes and union wins, pointing out how companies—and even the government—have fought to keep workers from gaining too much power. They also dig into the role of the media in shaping public opinion, where misinformation spreads fast and often works against labor movements.Michael and Ken's conversation leaves listeners with a clear takeaway: staying informed and unified is more important than ever. Workers have power, but only if they use it.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Introduction01:58 Conversations with Trump Supporters03:28 Economic Context: Inheriting a Strong Economy04:44 Stagnant Wages vs. Corporate Profits05:56 Unionization Movements and Worker Rights07:37 Impact of the New Administration on Unions09:01 Hope for Labor Movement with New Appointments10:59 Concerns About Trump's Commitment to Labor12:31 Influence of Corporate Leaders on Policy13:48 The Role of Media in Political Messaging15:29 Messaging Challenges for Democrats16:44 The Disconnect Between Workers and Corporate Interests18:15 The Role of Social Media in Misinformation20:20 Challenges in Union Solidarity22:05 Corporate Greed vs. Worker Rights25:27 Reflections on the Republican Party's Direction27:41 Historical Context of Civil Rights Advances29:07 Concerns About Erosion of Rights30:20 Lack of Checks and Balances in the Administration31:47 The Role of Media in Accountability35:36 Union Leadership and Misinformation38:03 The Need for Solidarity Among Workers40:56 Corporate Accountability and Worker Advocacy42:23 Closing Linkscuckoo4politics.comhttps://www.instagram.com/cuckoo_4_politics/https://www.facebook.com/Cuckoo-4-Politics-104093938102793Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

On June 10, the jury reached a verdict in the federal trial against Chiquita Banana. It found that the company had financed a paramilitary group in Colombia in the late 1990s and early 2000s, resulting in the deaths of eight men, and it awarded the victims' families $38 million in damages. It's the culmination of a 17-year-long multi-district litigation that had faced significant procedural, evidentiary, and legal challenges. And it may represent a new frontier in the fight to hold corporations legally accountable for human rights violations.Executive Editor Natalie Orpett discussed the case and its implications with Michael Posner, Director of the Center for Business and Human Rights at New York University's Stern School of Business and a former Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
