The important issue we must consider is how we should respond to these foolish people. Our normal response is anger and frustration. But what does God want us to do? Let's see what the Bible says. How are we to respond to foolish behavior? Pray for them. God can change anybody. Don't ever give up. You can't change them, but you can pray for God to change them. Keep the right attitude and motivation toward foolish people. It's easy to become judgmental and arrogant toward them. Remember, God loves them as much as he loves you. Be prepared to set boundaries and protect yourself from being harmed by foolish people. Now, here are some Scriptures that give us further guidance on how God wants us to respond to the foolish people in our lives. Principle #1 – Don't try to change them with advice. Proverbs 23:9 (NLT): Don't waste your breath on fools, for they will despise the wisest advice. You may present the most logical, clear, helpful presentation of the right thing they should do, but they will not have ears to hear. If you keep trying to offer your advice, to persuade them with words, you will be continually frustrated. Principle #2 – Don't give them honor or luxury. Proverbs 19:10: It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury – how much worse for a slave to rule over princes! Proverbs 26:1: Like snow in summer or rain in harvest, honor is not fitting for a fool. Foolish people are easily spoiled and generally have no regard for taking care of possessions. They can ruin a car, a home, and clothes with no shame or concern. Giving them things will not solve their problems, though they want to get anything they can. They will ask for and expect gifts. To give them undeserved honor of any kind is neither smart nor helpful. To give them places of honor is to invite trouble. They don't know how to handle honor or responsibility.

The Bible has a lot to say about foolish behavior. For example, they handle money recklessly, they quarrel frequently and pick fights, they tend to be lazy and lack focus and ambition. And sadly, they never seem to learn from past experiences. Proverbs 27:22 says, Though you grind a fool in a mortar, grinding them like grain with a pestle, you will not remove their folly from them. With all the trouble they bring on themselves, fools still never seem to learn. No matter how bad the consequences of their behavior are, they repeat the same things again. The Bible also tells us about the consequences and effects of foolish behavior on other people. A foolish person brings trouble on his family (Proverbs 11:29), and parents of a foolish child are in for heartache. Proverbs 10:1 says: A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son grief to his mother. Also, a foolish person on the job can wreak havoc. Proverbs 26:10 says: Like an archer who wounds at random is he who hires a fool or any passer-by. Foolish people cause problems and present unique challenges. Whether you work with or for someone who behaves foolishly or have a family member or friend who fits that description, they can cause you many hours of pain, confusion, anger, and frustration. I urge you to think of the people in your life who demonstrate some of these foolish characteristics, perhaps write their names down, and begin to pray for them. Remember, no one is in your life by accident, and God has a purpose for allowing them in your life. Your challenge is to see the big picture from God's eyes and know how to respond in a godly way.

Is there anyone in your life you consider to be a foolish person? I imagine you can think of someone. It's important for us to recognize foolish behavior and respond to it correctly. Let’s look at how the Bible defines a person who is foolish: Quick-Tempered Fools show their annoyance at once, but the prudent overlook an insult (Proverbs12:16). It is foolish behavior to lose your temper. A foolish person will say and do all kinds of foolish things because of his/her temper. Their temper is often notorious. Acts Impetuously and Without Regard for Consequences Wise people think before they act; fools don't and even brag about it! (Proverbs 13:16). A wise man fears the Lord and shuns evil, but a fool is hotheaded and reckless (Proverbs 14:16). Do you know someone who does or says whatever pops into their head, without any regard for how it affects their future, other people, their pocketbook, etc.? Foolish people have little regard for consequences; they live totally for the pleasure of the moment. And they brag about it! Talks endlessly, brags, spouts off frequently The wise person makes learning a joy; fools spout only foolishness (Proverbs 15:2 NLT). A fool finds no pleasure in understanding but delights in airing his own opinions (Proverbs 18:2). Proverbs 10:19 reminds us: When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise. Jesus warned us that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken (Matthew 12:36). Foolish people have an opinion on anything and everything. Even though they may have very little knowledge, they always have an opinion. And of course, they are very vocal about their opinion with little regard for anyone else's opinion. Refuses Advice, Accountability and/or Discipline A fool spurns a parent's discipline, but whoever heeds correction shows prudence (Proverbs 15:5). A fool never accepts advice or correction of any kind. They are unteachable. And they refuse needed disciplines in their lives like being on time, fulfilling their promises, being accountable for their actions, being dependable, following through and following up. These are not very complimentary descriptions, are they? If you have some foolish people in your life, ask God to help you respond appropriately.

What if the life you long for is just one step away? In this message from Pastor John Stickl, we talk about how the steps God gives us when we come to Him for help may not always make sense to us. In these moments, we get to decide if we have the faith to align with what He says and believe that a closer relationship with Him is worth it – even if it means looking foolish to the world.

The Bible clearly describes foolish behavior and warns us about it. Some people behave foolishly on a sporadic basis; others are consistently foolish. As we talk about foolish people, we need to be aware that we could be talking about ourselves as well. None of us is exempt from any of these foolish characteristics. I spent ten years doing my own thing, walking away from my commitment to Jesus Christ, and I shake my head as I think of how foolishly I behaved in those years. We will look to God's Word to define foolish behavior for ourselves and look again to tell us what our responsibility is when we deal with that kind of person. Not all foolish people have all these characteristics. You may know foolish people with only one of these traits, but it is so pronounced that it consumes them. What is foolish behavior? Denying, disregarding, or rebelling against God The fool says in his heart “There is no God” (Psalm 14:1). It is very foolish to ignore the living God. In fact, nothing could be more foolish. And this applies not only to those who are outright atheists or agnostics but also to those who live as though there is no God. If you asked them, many would say, “I believe there is a God.” But nothing in their life or lifestyle shows any acknowledgement of God. They live as though God does not exist. The Bible says they are fools. Slandering, lying, deceiving He who conceals his hatred has lying lips, and whoever spreads slander is a fool (Proverbs 10:18). Foolish people don't hesitate to lie. They are big on running other people down. Their mouths often get them into trouble. Just think of the foolish people you know. Isn't their mouth one of their biggest problems? When our mouths are out of control, we, too, are foolish.

1 Corinthians 15 centres on the idea of resurrection. We explore what the chapter has to say to Adventists specifically, for whom the state of the dead and the mechanics of resurrection are dear doctrinal territory. But the discussion finds its heart in the mystery of what the resurrection body actually is — and what continuity might exist between who we are now and who we will be.

Episode #220 – Stop Being Foolish!Response to the Sermon on the Mount – Part 2 (Matthew 7:24–27)How does a believer move from hearing Christ's words to faithfully living them?Episode #220 of the Way of the Bible podcast continues our study of Jesus' illustration of the Wise and Foolish Builders by issuing a direct challenge to believers: Stop being foolish. Rather than focusing primarily on the unbelieving world, this episode examines Christ's warnings to His own church and calls every follower of Jesus to renewed faithfulness. The message begins by revisiting Jesus' conclusion to the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 7:24–27, where two builders hear the same words but respond differently. One builds upon the rock through obedient faith, while the other builds upon sand by refusing to put Christ's teaching into practice. This contrast provides the framework for the episode's central question: What does spiritual foolishness look like in the life of a believer? To answer that question, the discussion turns to Revelation 3 and Christ's letter to the church in Laodicea. Jesus describes believers who have become spiritually lukewarm—neither fully committed nor openly opposed to Him. They believe themselves to be rich and self-sufficient, yet Christ sees them as spiritually poor, blind, and in need of repentance. His rebuke is not intended to condemn but to restore those whom He loves. The episode also places this warning within the broader story of Scripture. From Genesis, where humanity's rebellion brought sin and death into the world, to Revelation, where God restores creation and dwells with His redeemed people, the Bible consistently calls God's people to trust Him, reject deception, and persevere in faithful obedience. The Christian life is not merely about entering heaven but about growing into the likeness of Christ through the transforming work of the Holy Spirit. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 3, listeners are reminded that believers will one day give an account for how they have built upon the foundation of Jesus Christ. Paul urges Christians not to deceive themselves by adopting the wisdom of this world but to pursue the wisdom that comes from God. Spiritual maturity is measured not by knowledge alone but by lives increasingly marked by humility, holiness, and faithful service. The episode concludes with Christ's gracious invitation: "Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent." His desire is not merely that believers avoid judgment but that they experience restored fellowship with Him, live as children of light, and prepare faithfully for His return. Ultimately, Episode #220 reminds us that the call to "stop being foolish" is not a message of despair but of hope. Jesus continues to seek, correct, restore, and strengthen those who belong to Him. The question before every believer is both simple and searching:Will we continue building on the shifting sands of self-reliance, or will we once again build our lives upon the Rock who is Jesus Christ?

Part of "Proverbs: How to Build a Life," Grant Clark opens the first of a two-part look at wise counsellors, asking why we need trusted voices speaking into our lives at all. The argument is simple: to build the kind of life Jesus has for us, we need other people. Next week's message turns to how to choose those voices.Grant opens with a scene from the BBC comedy "Amanda Land," in which a mother turns to ChatGPT for help talking to her teenage son, and ends the night asking the chatbot whether she is a good mother. He notes that in April 2025 OpenAI described one of its own updates as "overly supportive but disingenuous," excessively flattering and sycophantic, and rolled it back.The cultural data he cites: a 2026 Pew finding that 10 percent of American adults had used an AI chatbot for emotional support or advice; KFF finding 16 percent had sought mental health advice from AI in the previous year, rising to 28 percent among 18 to 29 year olds; and an ABC report that roughly one in five young people aged 12 to 21 in the United States have used AI chatbots for mental health support. Research from OpenAI and MIT associates heavier use with greater loneliness, emotional dependence, and reduced real world social interaction.The whole book of Proverbs is itself a conversation between a wise counsellor and someone who needs wisdom, a father speaking to his son. Not all voices carry equal weight. Proverbs presents a cast of characters, some to seek out and some to avoid:The Wise (Proverbs 1:5; 3:13-18; 9:8-9)The Simple / Naive (Proverbs 1:22; 7:7; 9:4; 14:15)The Fool (Proverbs 1:7; 12:15; 15:5; 26:1-12)The Scoffer / Mocker (Proverbs 3:34; 9:7-8; 13:1; 15:12; 22:10)The Wicked (Proverbs 4:14-19; 10:6-7, 24-32; 12:5-7)The Righteous (Proverbs 10:3, 6-7, 24-32; 11:5-8; 24:15-16)Lady Wisdom (Proverbs 1:20-33; 8:1-36; 9:1-6)The Forbidden Woman (Proverbs 2:16-19; 5:1-23; 7:1-27; 9:13-18)The Friend (Proverbs 17:17; 18:24; 27:5-6, 17)The Parent / Instructor (Proverbs 1:8-9; 2:1-22; 4:1-27; 6:20-23; 23:22-25)A wise counsellor is someone whose life we know and want to imitate, not simply someone with a confident voice who always knows the right thing to say. They fear God, they are humble and teachable, they listen carefully and speak honestly, and they want our good more than our approval.## We all have blind spots.Proverbs 12:15 and Proverbs 21:2 set the problem: the fool's way is right in his own eyes, and all a person's ways seem right to him. A wise person accounts for their own biases and preferences and goes to others for clarity. Grant tells of a friend who returned from a conference having learned that the average person has 2.8 blind spots and asked his wife to name them, and of his own weekend at the beach where everyone but him could see he was covered in a rash. The point of both stories is the same: other people saw what he could not see himself.Christians have more reason than anyone to expect to find sin and blind spots, and more reason than anyone to be secure when they hear it."The gospel is this: We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope". - Tim KellerMany people will tell you what you want to hear. Wisdom is choosing on purpose to be told what we need to hear.Independence makes us Foolish. Community makes us Wise.## Three cultural forces that keep us from asking."I Know Best""I Know Myself""God Told Me"The first is the pull of individualism, which hears asking for help as weakness. Proverbs 18:1 answers it: one who isolates himself pursues selfish desires and rebels against all sound wisdom. The second leans on self-knowledge, the Enneagram, Myers-Briggs, DISC, StrengthsFinder, family of origin work, attachment styles, Keller's "Counterfeit Gods," all good gifts that can still tip into "I am the expert on me." The third is a privatized faith that cannot be questioned. Ephesians 3:12 is true, in him and through faith in him we can approach God with freedom and confidence, and we do hear from God ourselves. But underneath all three sits the same assumption, that I can discern God's wisdom without needing God's people.## Many and sound.Proverbs 15:22 says plans fail when there is no counsel, but with many advisers they succeed. Proverbs 20:18 says finalize plans with counsel and wage war with sound guidance. The words to notice are "many" and "sound." Many, because going to a single voice makes us codependent on it. Sound, because the voice should be helpful, godly, thoughtful, unbiased, honest, and pointed toward Jesus and his Word. Proverbs 13:20 adds that the one who walks with the wise becomes wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.Reflection Questions:1) What are the loudest and most influential voices in your life, at the moment?2) What content are you consuming, that could be shaping how you think about, see, and respond to the world?We do not go to many counsellors for permission or for consensus. We go for clarity. Grant recounts the decision to move his family from South Africa to San Diego, and a Zoom call in which Chris Winant heard his worry that the move might be a pandemic era overreaction and answered that the decision was not Covid caused but Covid inspired.## Give wise people permission to speak.Identify them: people who know you, who fear God, whose lives you would want to emulate, and who will tell you the truth. Invite them, because no one knows you are wrestling with something unless you say so. Give them permission to ask any question. If what they say is hard to hear, you do not have to accept it in the moment, but go away and pray and process it. Test the counsel against Scripture, in prayer, and against the character of Jesus. Then take your next step.## Start with Jesus.Through the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 5 to 7, Jesus repeats "you have heard it said, but I say to you," which means following him involves unlearning as much as learning. In John 14:6 he says he is the way and the truth and the life. Matthew 7:24-27 closes it out: both builders hear the words of Jesus, both build a house, both face the same storm, and the difference is that one acts on what he heard. Jesus is not only our wise counsellor. He is the way, the truth, and the life, and he asks us to hear his words and do them.Two closing questions. Who has permission in your life to tell you something you do not want to hear? And is there a decision you are currently making alone that you should bring other people into, not for consensus or permission, but for clarity?Verses referenced:Proverbs 12:15Proverbs 21:2Proverbs 18:1Proverbs 15:22Proverbs 20:18Proverbs 13:20Ephesians 3:12Matthew 5-7John 14:6Matthew 7:24-27

How weird was National's re-announcement of its Budget Responsibility Rules? It was very weird. Essentially, National made exactly the same announcement that it made three years ago before the 2023 election. First, it would strive for a surplus. Second, it would reduce debt. Third, it would cut Government spending. Here's the question: has National achieved any of those things? Not really, has it? We don't have a surplus, even though National promised we'd have one worth $2.9 billion this year. In fact, we're still years away from any kind of surplus. Has it reduced debt? No. If anything, debt has increased by roughly another $41 billion. And when it comes to Government spending, we basically have the same number of public servants now as we did when Jacinda Ardern and Chris Hipkins left office. So National hasn't even made much of a dent there. In that case, I'm sorry to say it, but you'd have to be either naive or foolish to believe National's promise this time around. In fact, I'm probably being too generous by even calling it a promise. Last time, National explicitly promised a surplus. It didn't deliver one, which makes that a broken promise. This time, however, it's merely "prioritising" a surplus. That change in language says everything you need to know about how confident Nicola Willis herself is about the chances of getting New Zealand back into surplus. I reckon Thomas Coughlan in the Herald absolutely nailed it with one line in his analysis: "Why has National drawn attention to its own failure?" Because that's really all it did. It simply reminded those of us who are concerned about the Government's finances that the National Party has failed to get the books back in order. I think the answer to Thomas' question is that National believes voters will still trust it and that it's trying to force Labour to make the same commitments, commitments National knows Labour may struggle to make. If Labour can't make those same promises, National hopes voters will see it as the more fiscally responsible option. And maybe that's true. Labour may not be able to make the same commitments, given its spending plans and the even more ambitious spending proposals of some of its potential coalition partners. So strategically, this may well work for National with some voters. But for many others, all the announcement did was underscore how little difference there is, in practice, between the way Labour and National manage the Government's books.

"You won't even be trying to laugh and it's like damn he got me." That quote perfectly captures the genius of Detroit comedy legend Foolish as he joins Detroit is Different for a conversation that is equal parts hilarious, historical, and deeply reflective. From memories of knowing Khary Frazier before Detroit is Different, when he was immersed in hip hop, to stories from BET Comic View, Foolish reminds us that laughter has always been one of Black Detroit's greatest survival tools. Quoting, "I always talk about my life through jokes," he reveals how comedy became his language for processing life, culture, and community. Together they celebrate hip hop icons like Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, E-40, Richie Rich, MC Breed, and The Lox while reflecting on how music sounds different as we grow because, as Foolish explains, "Everything you listen to as an adult becomes a chapter in your life that you didn't pay enough attention to." Filled with unforgettable backstage stories, reflections on Detroit audiences showing unmatched love to legendary performers, and memories of artists whose influence continues to shape culture, this episode reminds listeners that preserving these stories is how communities protect their legacy. The laughter, music, and memories shared here connect Detroit's past to its future, proving that culture lives through conversation, storytelling, and the people determined to keep those stories alive.

#218 The Foolish Man | Matthew 7:24-27

Way of the Bible

What does Jesus mean when He speaks of the foolish man who built his house upon the sand?Episode #218 of the Way of the Bible podcast continues our study of Matthew 7:24–27 by examining one of the most sobering descriptions found anywhere in Scripture. While the previous episode explored the source of true wisdom, this message focuses on the opposite question: What makes a person spiritually foolish? Jesus concludes the Sermon on the Mount by presenting two builders. Both hear His words, both build houses, and both experience the same storm. The critical difference is not what they heard but what they did with what they heard. The wise man built upon the Rock by responding in obedient faith, while the foolish man rejected God's foundation and built upon sand. To understand this contrast, the episode traces a consistent theme throughout the Bible. Moses warned Israel against abandoning "the Rock" who had redeemed them. Joshua reminded the nation that God's promises are certain and that rejecting His covenant carries consequences. David declared, "The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God,'" revealing that foolishness begins not with ignorance but with a heart that refuses God's authority. The discussion then turns to Romans 1, where the Apostle Paul describes humanity's progression away from God. Although God's eternal power and divine nature are evident through creation, people exchange the truth for lies, worship created things rather than the Creator, and persist in rebellion. These choices illustrate the pattern of the foolish builder—a life established on self rather than on God. Yet this episode is not merely a warning. It is also a message of hope.Paul reminds believers that every Christian was once spiritually foolish. Through the mercy of God revealed in Jesus Christ, sinners are rescued from darkness, justified by grace, and renewed by the Holy Spirit. Becoming wise for salvation happens the moment a person trusts Christ, while growing in wisdom continues throughout a lifetime of discipleship and sanctification. The episode also emphasizes that Christians should remember their own past when interacting with those who remain spiritually blind. Rather than responding with pride or condemnation, believers are called to share the gospel with gentleness, respect, and compassion, always prepared to explain the hope found in Christ.Ultimately, Jesus' illustration is about far more than two houses. It is about two eternal destinies. Every person is building upon some foundation. The question each of us must answer is simple yet profound:Are we building our lives upon the Rock who is Jesus Christ, or upon the shifting sands of human wisdom and self-reliance?Episode #218 invites listeners to examine that foundation carefully and to discover the lasting security found only in Christ.

Does Titus 3:9 teach Christians to avoid discussing God's law?Some use Paul's warning about "foolish controversies" and "quarrels about the law" to dismiss conversations about sin, obedience, and accountability. But is that what Paul was actually addressing?In this teaching, we examine Titus 3:9 in its biblical and historical context, exploring the genealogical disputes Paul was warning against and why those concerns should not be confused with teaching believers to obey God's commandments. Discover why confronting sin in love is not a foolish controversy but an essential part of discipleship and the Great Commission.Key Scriptures  Titus 3:9   Matthew 28:19–20   1 John 3:4   Romans 3:20   Romans 7:7   Numbers 15:22–31   Psalm 119:105   Matthew 5:17–19

Why has the world's greatest intellectual brilliance failed to solve humanity's deepest problems or bring people to God? Why did both the Jews and the Greeks reject Christ for opposite reasons, and why does the message of the cross still appear foolish to many today? Together we'll examine how God turns the world's standards upside down, revealing that what appears to be weakness is His greatest strength and what seems like foolishness is perfect wisdom. Most importantly, we'll see why Christ crucified is the power of God and the wisdom of God for everyone who believes, offering the only message that can truly transform lives and provide eternal hope!

Additionally, on January 2, 2026, he was granted 3,052,734 follow-on stock options with an exercise price of $28.51 (~$40M).

Gould, 80, 18 years tenureGould and Zaslav worked closely together at Discovery, Inc. for nearly 15 years.David Zaslav took the helm as President and CEO of Discovery, Inc. in January 2007.Paul Gould joined the Discovery, Inc. Board of Directors shortly after, serving as an independent director from 2007 until the company merged with WarnerMedia.Both men belong to the tight-knit professional circle surrounding cable pioneer and billionaire John Malone.Paul Gould has a long history as a trusted director across Malone's web of companies, serving for years on the boards of Liberty Global and Liberty Latin America.David Zaslav has publicly and frequently cited John Malone as his primary professional mentor.Their shared ties to Malone are so closely linked that in 2012, Zaslav partnered with other high-level executives to donate $1 million to the Cable Center specifically to build and name the John Malone Theater.Paul Gould has served as a Managing Director and Executive Vice President at Allen & Company, a premium boutique investment bank deeply embedded in the media and entertainment ecosystem. Through this avenue, Gould and Zaslav connect in two ways:Financial Advisory: Allen & Company has a long history of providing valuation opinions, advisory services, and market analysis for major transactions initiated by Zaslav during his career.The Sun Valley Conference: Allen & Company famously hosts the annual "Summer Camp for Billionaires" in Sun Valley, Idaho. As a prominent media mogul, Zaslav is a regular, high-profile attendee at this event, which is organized by Gould's firm.Kenneth W. LoweKen Lowe is the former Chair/CEO of Scripps Networks Interactive (the former parent company of massive lifestyle brands like HGTV, Food Network, and ID).The Link: In 2018—four years before the Warner Bros. deal even closed—Zaslav orchestrated Discovery's $14.6 billion acquisition of Scripps Networks. As a direct result of that blockbuster cable industry consolidation, Lowe joined Discovery Inc.'s board of directors. He and Zaslav had already been working together closely at the board level for years before the legacy company expanded into WBD.The board of AT&TRichard W. FisherOutside of WBD, Zaslav's connection to Fisher is rooted in Fisher's previous role as a member of the Board of Directors for AT&T. When Zaslav was hammering out the complex transaction to spin WarnerMedia away from AT&T, Fisher was one of the crucial board leaders on the other side of the table who evaluated and signed off on the deal. As part of the closing agreement, Fisher was designated by AT&T to transition directly over to the new WBD board.Debra L. LeeDebra Lee was the longtime Chair/CEO of BET Networks (Black Entertainment Television) from 2006 to 2018.Zaslav and Lee have long-standing commitments to The Paley Center for Media, sharing space as members of its highly prestigious Board of Trustees. Additionally, Lee served on the board of AT&T, meaning she was part of the corporate governance team that initially approved Zaslav's pitch to merge Discovery with WarnerMedia.Geoffrey Y. YangJust like Richard Fisher and Debra Lee, Yang's primary pre-WBD connection to Zaslav comes down to AT&T. Yang sat on AT&T's board during the high-stakes dealmaking window. Because of his background in digital media and venture capital, he was designated by AT&T leadership to transition to the WBD board to help Zaslav steer the newly formed company's streaming and direct-to-consumer technology strategies.The board that ignores Say on Pay votesAt our 2025 Annual Meeting held on June 2, 2025, we held an advisory vote on executive compensation, or "Say on Pay" vote, and a majority of the votes cast by stockholders were cast against our executive compensation program.Our executive compensation program is designed to pay for performance and effectively balance executive and stockholder interests. The Committee considered the outcome of the "Say on Pay" vote from the 2025 Annual Meeting, and while it continues to believe that our executive compensation structure, which includes long-term agreements with each of our NEOs and delivers a significant majority of NEO compensation in performance-based vehicles, is effective in meeting our compensation objectives, it took note of the negative 2025 "Say on Pay" vote when making compensation decisions after the 2025 Annual Meeting.The Dodd-Frank Act: "The shareholder vote … shall not be binding on the issuer or the board of directors of an issuer, and may not be construed as overruling a decision by such issuer or board of directors”Special meeting vote 4/23/26: Say on Pay 83% no6/9 AGM: ShareholdersPaul A.
