Episode 82 Oklahoma joins the list of states to enact meat labeling laws.  Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt last week signed into law a measure requiring manufactured protein products to be labeled differently from meat. House Bill 1126 requires food manufacturers, distributors and retailers to clearly disclose that cell-cultivated or cultured products or those that come from a lab, plants or insect proteins are not meat. Those convicted of false advertising could face a misdemeanor. The law places the burden of proof on the manufacturer and not the retailer. Oklahoma's Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry would be responsible for investigating complaints that food products are falsely advertised or misbranded as meat products. The act takes effect Nov. 1. Several U.S. states have enacted or proposed laws regulating the labeling of meat and alternative protein products, particularly focusing on plant-based and cell-cultured (lab-grown) meats. These laws aim to ensure transparency for consumers and protect traditional meat industries.AP News+7The Guardian+7National Agricultural Law Center+7 States with Enacted Meat Labeling Laws Missouri: In 2018, Missouri became the first state to pass a law prohibiting misrepresentation of products as meat if they are not derived from harvested livestock or poultry. Wikipedia Arkansas: Enacted Act 501, which restricts the use of traditional meat terms on plant-based and cell-cultured products. Wikipedia+1NYU Environmental Law Journal+1 Louisiana: Passed legislation banning the use of meat terminology on products not derived from animals. Wikipedia+1NYU Environmental Law Journal+1 Mississippi: Implemented laws requiring clear labeling of alternative meat products and, more recently, passed a bill banning the manufacture and sale of lab-grown meat. Big Rapids Pioneer+4WIRED+4NYU Environmental Law Journal+4 Florida: In May 2024, Florida became the first state to ban the manufacture and sale of cell-cultured meat, defining it as any meat product produced from cultured animal cells. Penn State Agricultural Law Center+3National Agricultural Law Center+3Houston Chronicle+3 Alabama: Followed Florida by enacting similar legislation banning the production and sale of lab-grown meat. National Agricultural Law Center+7WIRED+7Big Rapids Pioneer+7 States with Proposed or Pending Legislation Michigan: Introduced bills aiming to prohibit labeling lab-grown meat substitutes as "meat" and to ban the manufacture and sale of cultivated meat derived from animal cell cultures. Big Rapids Pioneer Nebraska: Governor Jim Pillen proposed a ban on lab-grown meat, facing pushback from ranchers and farm groups who prefer clear labeling over outright bans. AP News Arizona and Tennessee: Considered legislation to ban cell-cultured meat; however, the bills did not pass in the 2024 legislative sessions. Penn State Agricultural Law Center+2National Agricultural Law Center+2Houston Chronicle+2 Federal Regulations At the federal level, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) oversees meat labeling through the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). In March 2024, the USDA finalized a rule allowing the voluntary use of "Product of USA" or "Made in the USA" labels on meat, poultry, and egg products only when they are derived from animals born, raised, slaughtered, and processed in the United States. USDA Summary The landscape of meat labeling laws in the U.S. is evolving, with several states enacting or proposing legislation to regulate the labeling of alternative meat products. These laws vary in scope, with some focusing on prohibiting specific terminology and others imposing outright bans on certain products. The federal government also plays a role in standardizing labeling practices to ensure consumer transparency.

Today's Headlines: The Trump administration is ending legal status for over 500,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, giving them 30 days to leave. Meanwhile, the IRS is reportedly close to a deal with Homeland Security to help locate undocumented immigrants, sparking legal challenges. Several U.S. allies, including the UK and Germany, have issued travel advisories, particularly for trans and nonbinary travelers. In Canada, newly appointed PM Mark Carney called for elections, citing Trump's trade policies as a national crisis. Back in the U.S., Trump initially planned to grant Elon Musk access to top-secret Pentagon briefings on China but later backtracked. Musk is also offering Wisconsin voters $100 to sign petitions ahead of a key state Supreme Court election. The FBI is now investigating vandalism at Tesla locations as "domestic terrorism," which could expand Musk's access to surveillance data.

President Donald Trump said he is banning the federal use of paper straws, saying they "don't work" and don't last very long. Instead, he wants the government to exclusively move to plastic. "It's a ridiculous situation. We're going back to plastic straws," Trump said as he signed an executive order to reverse federal purchasing policies that encourage paper straws and restrict plastic ones. The order directs federal agencies to stop buying paper straws "and otherwise ensure that paper straws are no longer provided within agency buildings." The move by Trump—who has long railed against paper straws and whose 2019 reelection campaign sold Trump-branded reusable plastic straws for $15 per pack of 10—targets a Biden administration policy to phase out federal purchases of single-use plastics, including straws, from food service operations, events and packaging by 2027, and from all federal operations by 2035. Several U.S. states and cities have banned plastic straws, and some restaurants no longer automatically give them to customers. But plastic straws are only a small part of the problem. The environment is littered with single-use plastic food and beverage containers—water bottles, takeout containers, coffee lids, shopping bags and more. Around the world, the equivalent of one garbage truck of plastic enters the ocean every minute from a range of sources, including plastic bags, toothbrushes, bottles, food packaging and more, experts say. As those materials break down in the environment, microplastics are turning up in the stomachs of fish, birds and other animals, as well as in human blood and tissue. And plastic manufacturing releases planet-warming greenhouse gases and other dangerous pollutants. More than 90% of plastic products are derived from fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas, and millions of tons of plastic waste enter the world's oceans every year. Many multinational companies have moved away from plastic straws and have made reducing plastic use across their operations central to their sustainability goals, making Trump's decision an outlier in the business world.

In this episode of the We Love Arabian Horses podcast, host Paul Kostial sits down with Jonathan Horowitz, Executive Director of the Arabian Jockey Club (AJC), to discuss the growth and evolving role of Arabian racehorses within the breed. Now in his second year leading the AJC, Jonathan reflects on the successes of the past year, both on and off the track, and shares his vision for the future of Arabian racing. One of the year's biggest highlights was the UAE President Cup, a major event that showcased the strength of American-bred Arabian racehorses. Several U.S. horses also made an impact internationally, proving the quality of American bloodlines. Beyond racing, the Race Bred Arabian Series was launched to highlight the many ways retired racehorses excel in other disciplines, including eventing, endurance, and ride-and-tie competitions. Jonathan shares his own experience competing in eventing with his Arabian, reinforcing the breed's natural versatility and adaptability. Jonathan also discusses the significance of race-bred Arabians in the broader breed community, explaining how racing has shaped the development of many top sport and performance horses. He highlights influential stallions like Orzel and Sambor, whose bloodlines continue to impact the breed decades later. While Arabian racing in the U.S. has only been formally organized since 1959, its influence extends far beyond the track, helping to produce horses with the athleticism, endurance, and heart that make Arabians so special. A key focus of the AJC is connecting the racing world with the broader Arabian horse community, ensuring that race-bred Arabians are recognized for their talent and contributions. By sharing success stories and increasing engagement, the AJC hopes to encourage more horse owners to consider race-bred Arabians for disciplines beyond racing. Looking ahead, Jonathan is excited about the future of Arabian racing, noting that each year brings new stars and fresh opportunities for the sport to grow. He also sees potential for collaboration between racing and other disciplines, such as starting young Arabians on the track before transitioning them to sport careers. Throughout the conversation, Jonathan and Paul emphasize the passion and sense of community that fuels Arabian horse enthusiasts. They discuss the importance of sharing stories, engaging with others, and celebrating the breed's unique heritage. Jonathan encourages listeners to tag We Love Arabian Horses when sharing their own Arabian experiences, helping to spread awareness and appreciation for these incredible horses. With momentum building in both racing and the broader Arabian world, the future looks bright for the breed and its many devoted fans.

Previous episode: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/mining-sector-ma-activities-production-centers-evolves-opportunities-6039Recording date: 18th November 2024The 2024 U.S. election results are poised to have a significant impact on the mining sector, as a Republican sweep led by the re-election of Donald Trump ushers in a period of potentially pro-growth, pro-development policies. In this edition of The Compass podcast, Olive Resource Capital's Executive Chairman Derek McPherson and President and CEO Samuel Pelaez share their insights on the implications for investors in resource equities.While overall market sentiment has deteriorated in recent weeks, gold, silver and copper prices have remained remarkably resilient, even in the face of a surging U.S. dollar. This suggests the underlying fundamentals for these commodities remain constructive, despite the challenging economic backdrop.Under a second Trump administration, McPherson and Pelaez anticipate a continuation of the tax cuts, deregulation and deficit spending that characterized the president's first term in office. While they caution that the ultimate economic impacts remain uncertain, particularly around the inflationary effects of potential tariffs and a wider deficit, the mining industry could be a clear beneficiary.In particular, the hosts expect the permitting process for U.S. mining projects to be streamlined, either through executive orders or by ceding more authority to state and local governments. This could be a game-changer for projects located in traditional mining jurisdictions like Arizona, Alaska and Nevada, where complex and lengthy permitting requirements have been a key obstacle to development.For investors, the current tax loss selling season may offer attractive entry points to gain exposure to these themes. As investors sell underperforming positions to offset gains elsewhere in their portfolios, junior mining stocks often experience sharp, indiscriminate declines in November and December before recovering in the new year.Several U.S.-focused developers and explorers were highlighted that they believe are well-positioned to benefit from the expected policy tailwinds, including Arizona Sonoran Copper (ASCU), AngloGold Ashanti (AU), Troilus Gold (TLG), and Silver47 (AGA). They also see the potential for increased M&A activity as larger producers look to take advantage of the improved operating environment to boost their project pipelines and growth through acquisitions.While acknowledging the risks and uncertainties inherent in the space, the hosts make a compelling case for the role of gold, silver and copper in a diversified investment portfolio. With valuations at attractive levels and the potential for meaningfully enhanced economics under a more supportive regulatory regime, U.S. mining equities could offer significant upside for patient, long-term investors.Learn more: https://cruxinvestor.comSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is projected by multiple U.S. media outlets early Wednesday morning to win North Carolina and Georgia -- two of the seven key swing states, as votes continue to be counted across the country.With 16 Electoral College votes, North Carolina is the first of seven battleground states with a clear outcome. At least 270 Electoral College votes are needed to win the presidency.North Carolina has been a red state in recent years, except in 2008, when Barack Obama narrowly flipped it. Trump won the state both in 2016 and 2020.Trump won Georgia's 16 Electoral College votes in 2016 before the state narrowly shifted to Joe Biden in 2020.With Trump on track to take North Carolina and Georgia, Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris will probably need to secure all three "Blue Wall" states -- Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin -- to clinch victory. Trump flipped these three states in 2016, while Biden reclaimed them in 2020. Votes in these three states are still being counted.Meanwhile, Trump has been projected to win traditionally red states such as Ohio, Texas and Florida, while Harris has been projected to win traditionally blue states such as California and Colorado.Forty-eight states and Washington, D.C., allocate all their electoral votes to the candidate who wins the state's popular vote. Nebraska and Maine, however, distribute two electoral votes to the statewide winner and one electoral vote to the winner of the popular vote in each congressional district.Several U.S. media outlets projected that the Republican Party would regain control of the U.S. Senate early Wednesday after flipping two seats from the Democratic Party. The Republicans won seats in Ohio, where Bernie Moreno triumphed, and West Virginia, where Jim Justice emerged victorious.This election is widely regarded as one of the most divisive in American history. According to an annual survey recently released by the American Psychological Association, over 70 percent of U.S. adults expressed concern that the election results could lead to violence.Earlier on Tuesday, U.S. Capitol Police reported that officers arrested a man who attempted to enter the Capitol building, reeking of fuel and carrying potentially dangerous devices.U.S. federal and local officials also confirmed Tuesday that none of the multiple bomb threats sent to polling sites in several states were credible. Local media reports indicated that fake bomb threats were received in swing states such as Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin -- states whose results have the potential to influence the final outcome of the presidential election.

This Day in Legal History: The Establishment of the World BankOn December 27, 1944, in the midst of a world ravaged by the Second World War, a landmark event in the history of international finance took place at the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, USA. On this day, the World Bank was established, marking a new era in global economic cooperation and development. The creation of the World Bank, also known as the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), was a direct response to the need for a robust plan to rebuild war-torn nations and stabilize the global economy.The World Bank's founding principles were centered on providing financial and technical assistance to developing countries. This move was seen as crucial for promoting international economic stability and fostering global peace. The bank initially focused on reconstructing European countries devastated by the war, but its role quickly expanded to include development projects in many other regions of the world.The establishment of the World Bank was a significant achievement in international diplomacy. It represented a collective understanding among nations that economic stability was paramount to preventing future conflicts. The Bretton Woods Conference, which also led to the creation of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), was instrumental in laying the groundwork for this new financial order.The World Bank's operations have evolved over the years, focusing on various issues such as poverty reduction, infrastructure development, environmental sustainability, and education. Its approach has shifted from merely providing loans for physical reconstruction to addressing broader developmental challenges. The bank works closely with member countries and other international institutions to deliver its programs, emphasizing the importance of sustainable development.This day in 1944 was not just about the formation of an institution; it marked a fundamental change in how the world viewed economic recovery and development. The World Bank's creation was a testament to the power of collective action and international cooperation in tackling global challenges. Today, the legacy of this event continues to influence global economic policies and the way nations collaborate, or don't, for a more prosperous and equitable world, or not.Starting January 1, tens of millions of companies in the U.S. will be required to report their beneficial ownership to the Treasury Department, a measure aimed at curbing money laundering, terrorism financing, and other global crimes. However, as the deadline approaches, many of these companies, particularly smaller ones, remain unaware or unprepared for the new regulations. The American Bus Association and other business groups have expressed concern over the lack of awareness and readiness among their members.The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is tasked with collecting this information and has been actively trying to raise awareness among businesses. The new rules, part of the 2021 Corporate Transparency Act, mandate companies to disclose owners' names, addresses, birth dates, and identification numbers. The data will be stored securely and made available to law enforcement and foreign governments under certain conditions.While existing companies have until the end of 2024 to comply, new companies formed in 2024 will have 90 days, and those established in 2025 or later will only have 30 days. FinCEN's outreach includes informational sessions, guides, and FAQs, but challenges in awareness and comprehension persist. Some businesses are consulting professionals to understand and meet the requirements, while others, including the National Small Business Association, are legally challenging the new rules.Concerns about the complexity, cost, and time required for compliance are widespread, especially among businesses with intricate corporate structures. FinCEN estimates that for most companies with simple structures, initial reporting could take about 90 minutes and cost around $85. However, the situation is more complex for businesses with multiple stakeholders or operations across states.The enforcement of these rules is another area of concern, with businesses hoping for leniency in the initial stages, especially for non-compliance due to lack of awareness. Penalties for willful non-compliance include significant fines and possible prison terms. FinCEN plans to continue its outreach efforts into 2024 and believes awareness will grow over time.Companies Scramble to Get Ready As New Owner-Info Rules Draw NearIn 2023, U.S. courts faced challenges with the rising use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools like OpenAI's ChatGPT, particularly after incidents where lawyers submitted legal briefs containing fictitious AI-generated case citations. Experts predict an even greater impact from generative AI on the legal industry in 2024 and beyond. Several U.S. judges have begun to address the use of AI in courtrooms, with some issuing orders to regulate its application in legal proceedings.Two New York lawyers faced sanctions for filing a brief with fake AI-generated citations, and a Colorado lawyer was suspended for a similar issue. Judges have been clear that misunderstanding the technology is not a valid excuse for its misuse. Orders regarding AI use in courtrooms vary, ranging from educational to outright prohibitions, with most requiring disclosure or verification of AI-generated information.The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas implemented a rule for lawyers to review and verify computer-generated content. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is also considering a certification requirement for the use of AI. Bar associations, including the American Bar Association and state bars like California and Florida, are assessing the ethical implications of AI in legal practice.Andrew Perlman, dean of Suffolk University Law School, warns that explicit rules on AI use may be ill-advised due to existing professional conduct rules and potential confusion. He notes that lawyers often use AI without realizing it and believes generative AI will be the most transformative technology in the legal profession.Wary courts confront AI pitfalls as 2024 promises | ReutersAI's Thorny Copyright Questions Create International PatchworkApple Inc. has appealed a U.S. decision to ban imports of certain models of its Apple Watch, following a complaint from Masimo, a medical monitoring technology company. The ban, upheld by the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) and not vetoed by President Joe Biden's administration, targets Apple Watches featuring blood-oxygen level reading technology. This technology, according to Masimo, was developed using stolen pulse oximetry technology and incorporated into Apple Watches starting with the Series 6 model in 2020.Apple also filed an emergency request with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to pause the ban, at least until the U.S. Customs and Border Protection decides on the patent infringement issue regarding redesigned versions of the watches. The decision on this matter is expected on January 12. Despite the ITC's order, Apple Watches Series 9 and Ultra 2 remain available through other retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart.Masimo views the ITC decision as an affirmation of the integrity of the U.S. patent system. Legal experts note that while such disputes are often settled, Apple may be looking to design around the patents or remove the infringing feature. Apple has suspended sales of its Series 9 and Ultra 2 smartwatches in the U.S., but the ban does not affect the Apple Watch SE model.The legal battle also includes a mistrial in a California federal court on Masimo's allegations and Apple's separate lawsuit against Masimo in Delaware. The last time a presidential administration vetoed an ITC ruling was in 2013 in a patent dispute involving Apple and Samsung. The Biden administration previously chose not to veto a separate import ban on Apple Watches based on a patent complaint from AliveCor, although the ITC has put this ban on hold for other reasons. Apple's wearables, home, and accessory business, including the Apple Watch, generated $8.28 billion in revenue in the third quarter of 2023.Apple files appeal after Biden administration allows US ban on watch imports | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

From CSI to Donna Summer, García Luna was fascinated by anything American. Several U.S. officials said that García Luna was the person they trusted the most in the Mexican government. They called him "The Mexican Hoover," after John Edgar Hoover, the FBI's first director. But soon, García Luna was facing accusations of corruption. In this episode, Peniley and Maria tell us exactly how far back those suspicions go as well as his obsessions, his childhood dreams, and how it all led to him heading the Mexican equivalents of the DEA, FBI, NSA and prison systems put together.

Welcome to July 5th, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate making a splash and plain and simple treats.   You may find it ironic that the guy who made graham crackers plain on purpose also preached against decadent desserts. Reverend Graham imagined the slightly sweetened cracker as a health food with whole wheat graham flour and added bran. The Presbyterian minister developed his cracker as part of the Graham Diet to curb sinful cravings. Little did he know that he had built the very foundation for cheesecakes and s'mores and other wicked good desserts. On National Graham Cracker Day give in to some guilty pleasures or celebrate responsibly with a simple glass of milk.   In July of 1946, the United States tested a nuclear device at the Bikini Atoll in the South Pacific. The military operation caused quite a stir around the world. However, the truly explosive event from that week occurred a few days later when fashion designer Louis Réard debuted his newest creation, named after the tests—the bikini. To say that this two-piece women's bathing suit caused a stir is a massive understatement. Several U.S. states banned women from wearing bikinis in public. Eventually, the outrage died down and today, you can find bikinis wherever there's a beach or a pool. On National Bikini Day, chill out by feeling happy in the skin you're in. I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

GIVE SEND GOING NOWHEREhttps://www.spreaker.com/user/9922149/give-send-going-nowherehttps://gorightnews.com/give-send-going-nowhere/https://rumble.com/vuw2am-give-send-going-nowhere.htmlhttps://rumble.com/embed/vs9w84Christian crowdfunding website, GiveSendGo says they will refuse to comply with the orders of an Ontario court, which ordered them to freeze the more than $8 million dollars that has been raised for the Canadian Freedom Convoy of truckers.Initially, the Freedom Convoy crowdfunding was done on GoFundMe, but the left-wing tech company shut down the effort after it raised $10 million dollars. First move: This all started when the Canadian government effectively made it illegal to donate to the truckers. They brought an order to the Superior Court "prohibiting any person from disposing of, or otherwise dealing with, in any manner whatsoever, any and all monetary donations made through the Freedom Convoy 2022." And the order was issued.In response, GiveSendGo tweeted:"Know this! Canada has absolutely ZERO jurisdiction over how we manage our funds here at GiveSendGo. All funds for EVERY campaign on GiveSendGo flow directly to the recipients of those campaigns, not least of which is The Freedom Convoy campaign."https://twitter.com/GiveSendGo/status/1491940399505682434They basically told the Canadian government to kiss their maple leaf.A Follow up to this was printed by the epochtimes,Court Freezes $8 Million for Freedom Convoy Raised on GiveSendGoGiveSendGo says Canada has 'ZERO jurisdiction'The government of the province of Ontario in Canada successfully sought a court order to freeze over US$8 million in funds made to the Freedom Convoy on the GiveSendGo platform.The Ontario Superior Court of Justice ordered that all donations made through the “Freedom Convoy 2022” and “Adopt a trucker” campaigns on the Christian fundraising platform be frozen until further notice, according to a statement from Premier Doug Ford's office.The statement said Ontario Attorney General Doug Downey brought the application for the restraint order, in which 490.8 of the Criminal Code was cited as grounds to freeze the funds. The section reads, in part: “The Attorney General may make an application … for a restraint order … in respect of any offence-related property.”Ivana Yelich, spokesperson for the premier, said the order “binds any and all parties with possession or control over these donations.”In a statement on Twitter, GiveSendGo wrote in an apparent response to the court order, “Know this! Canada has absolutely ZERO jurisdiction over how we manage our funds here at GiveSendGo.”It adds, “All funds for EVERY campaign on GiveSendGo flow directly to the recipients of those campaigns, not least of which is The Freedom Convoy campaign.”John Carpay, president of the legal group Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, which is providing legal help to the Freedom Convoy organizers, told The Epoch Times that their lawyers are looking into the issue.The protest started in late January as a demonstration by truckers against the federal government's requirement for cross-border truck drivers to be vaccinated, but has since evolved into a large movement joined by people from across Canada to oppose different COVID-19 mandates and restrictions.Vehicle convoys came to Ottawa on Jan. 29, and many have stayed in the city, with trucks and other vehicles parked by Parliament Hill. Since then, various protest convoys have been set up in different parts of Canada.Protesters in Ottawa say they won't leave until the government lifts COVID-19 mandates.More than US$10 million had been raised through GoFundMe before the platform said on Feb. 4 it would stop payments and forward the money to charities instead, before changing course on Feb. 5 and announcing it would automatically reimburse the funds to donors.Following the GoFundMe announcements, protest convoy organizers set up the “Freedom Convoy 2022” fundraiser on GiveSendGo.Several U.S. Republicans subsequently raised concerns about GoFundMe's removal of the funds for the trucker protest.The Canadian Press contributed to this report.[Source: Post Millennial, EpochTimes, Waking Up Right Newsletter]

Several Western governments joined the U.S. in diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Olympics amid the outcry over China's human rights and religious freedom abuses. Nevertheless, the lack of international solidarity on this issue is apparent. The International Olympics Committee (IOC) has been noticeably muted on the issue. Several U.S. companies like Coca-Cola, Airbnb, Visa, and Procter & Gamble that are major sponsors of the Winter Games have refused to acknowledge the atrocities against Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslims in Xinjiang.In today's conversation, we explore the disconnect between the severity of China's human rights and religious freedom abuses, and the international action to address them. We are joined by USCIRF Vice Chair Nury Turkel and Naomi Kikoler, Director of the Simon-Skjodt Center for the Prevention of Genocide at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Lobbying and Advocacy for Entrepreneurs: The Business Case Lobbying and advocacy is not necessarily something that most entrepreneurs think about when they venture out on their own. Despite the fact that my business focuses on tech policy, when I launched WashingTECH.com,  lobbying and advocacy couldn't have been further from my mind. I was more concerned with the minutiae: configuring and registering domains, setting up my workflow, designing my own site, etc. While I intended to include lobbyists on the podcast, I was more concerned with lobbying and advocacy issues as content. I did not remotely consider that a small business like mine would have any pull amidst the many "white shoe" lobbying firms up and down K St.: The big guns were for huge corporations, not businesses like mine. But as I have progressed and interviewed 100 guests, I have learned that these issues indeed affect me. For example, I conduct most of my interviews via Skype. Buffering issues that I encounter during my guest interviews affect the quality of my work product, and thus my bottom line. That is a net neutrality issue. This is not "ivory tower" net neutrality. This is net neutrality from the perspective of how it affects my business. How Regulations Can Affect Your Business There are literally hundreds of laws and regulations, in addition to net neutrality, that could potentially affect your business. Changes to intellectual property frameworks like trademarks, copyright and patents are federal policy issues. If you operate an online business, you are subject to all federal regulations regarding how you collect and utilize customer data, register email subscribers, and many other consumer regulations. Differences and conflicts between U.S. regulations and those abroad could affect your business to the extent that you engage with international customers. The number of regulations, new and old, that you could be affected by are essentially limitless. Congress and the federal agencies are continuously introducing and revising policies that could directly impact your profits. Joining Forces: The Power of Strength in Numbers The sheer number of entrepreneurs complicates our ability to organize and respond collectively to policy issues affecting out interests. However, just as the end of World War II brought with it the need for labor organizations to advocate on behalf of the workforce, the need for effective lobbying and advocacy on behalf of entrepreneurs will also grow. These advocates must be at least as effective at representing entrepreneurs' interests as those post-war labor advocates who preceded them. Consider the growing number of Americans who are pursuing entrepreneurship as either a supplement to or substitute for full-time income. According to the U.S. Census's 2015 Annual Survey of Entrepreneurs released in July of this year: the number of minority-owned employer firms grew by 4.9% (from 949, 318 in 2014 to 996, 248 in 2015). firms owned by women increased by 3.0% since 2014 to approximately 1.1.million. veteran-owned firms totaled approximately 398, 453. most firms in the U.S. (78.2%) have fewer than 10 employees. Start-up entrepreneurs also need a place to belong. Networking and developing the right relationships is a breeze for powerful corporations. Small businesses are powerful in scale, but not as powerful in scope in terms of the expansiveness of their networks. Melissa Blaustein is working to change all that by leading lobbying and advocacy efforts for startup firms around the world. I hope you'll consider joining her in her efforts.

RESOURCES Allied for Startups--The Voice for Startups in Politics and Government King Leopold's Ghost: A Story of Greed, Terror, and Heroism in Colonial Africa by Adam Hochschild    NEWS ROUNDUP House Panel Green-lights Self Driving Car Legislation The  54-member House Energy and Commerce Committee voted unanimously to advance legislation to speed the commercialization of self-driving cars. The legislation would clear the way for the sale of up to 100,000 self-driving cars. It would also pre-empt state laws dealing with performance standards. States would continue to regulate things like licensing, liability, safety and insurance. David Shepardson has the story in Reuters. Lyft announced last week that it too has created a self-driving car division. Read more from Heather Somerville in Reuters. Congress seeks more government data on Kaspersky Labs Members of the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology,  have asked some 22 cabinet-level government agencies for any information they have on Kaspersky Labs. Kaspersky is the Moscow-based cybersecurity firm. Several U.S. officials and members of Congress don't trust Kaspersky. They allege that Kaspersky could be a front that Russian officials use to spy on the U.S. It's an assertion that Kaspersky has vehemently denied. Dustin Voltz reports in Reuters. Russian Citizen Indicted for Bitcoin Laundering The Department of Justice has indicted a Russian citizen for money laundering. The DOJ alleges that Alexander Vinnick laundered $4 billion through the digital currency Bitcoin to fund drug trafficking, identity theft and hacking. Ali Breland at the Hill reports that Vinnick was arrested in Greece for allegedly using BTC-e--one of the largest Bitcoin exchanges--to carry out the crimes. Is FCC Chairman Ajit Pai's FCC 'Full of Sh*t'??? Remember when the FCC's site went down after John Oliver urged his viewers to submit comments regarding net neutrality? Ajit Pai claimed it went down because of a DDos attack. Gizmodo said, "Yeah right" and filed a FOIA request asking the FCC to provide documentation showing it was indeed caused by a DDos attack. Well, thus far, the FCC has apparently failed to corroborate the Chairman's story. So Oregon Senator Ron Wyden took the FCC to task last week, accusing the FCC of playing "word games". Wyden also suggested the FCC may be violating the Freedom of Information Act by failing to provide the information Gizmodo seeks. If there was indeed a 3,000 percent increase in network traffic at the FCC as FCC Chair Ajit Pai claimed, why wasn't anyone at the FCC freaking out??? Surely there would have been emails. But Gizmodo hasn't found emails, or anything else for that matter, to suggest that Chairman Pai was telling the truth. The FCC's net neutrality docket has thus far received over 10 million public comments. Jon Brodkin has the story in Ars Technica. Tech Earnings Reports Off-Target Major tech stocks showed lower than expected results in the second quarter. Amazon took a 77% hit to profits even though its sales were up. Google's parent Alphabet's profit fell 28%. The Wall Street Journal attributes the shortfall to the $2.74 billion fine the EU levied against Google last month for allegedly pumping its own search results. And while the number of clicks per ad were up at Google, revenues per click were down. Further, Twitter's stock dropped 12%. The company also reported flat user growth, which is stuck at 328 million, and a $116 million loss. Foxconn to build a U.S. plant in Wisconsin President Donald Trump indicated that Foxconn -- the  iPhone component maker-- would be spending $10 billion to build a Wisconsin plant. The president claims the plant would create 3,000 jobs.  Foxconn CEO Terry Gou did join Trump, Vice President Pence, House Speaker  Paul Ryan, and Wisconsin Senators Walker and Johnson at the White House. But it's not clear exactly what was discussed. Walker claims that the average job created by the plant will pay $53,000 per year. Google to Spend $50 million to help displaced workers Google announced last Wednesday that it would be spending $50 million to help workers displaced by technology to find new jobs. The company's head of philanthropy, Jacqueline Fuller, made the announcement in a blog post last week. Ali Breland has more details in the Hill. In other Google news, Google CEO Sundar Pichai has joined the board of Google's parent company Alphabet. The move comes as Alphabet seeks to accelerate many of the other initiatives it has been working on, such as Fiber X and self-driving cars. Dieter Bohn has the story in the Verge.   Will Amazon's Whole Foods Alleviate or Promote Food Deserts? New Jersey Senator Cory Booker and 11 members of Congress are asking the DOJ and FTC to investigate the Amazon-Whole Foods merger. The lawmakers are concerned about how the merger would affect underserved-communities' ability to access quality groceries. Many consumers live in so-called "food deserts"leaving them isolated from quality supermarkets. Airbnb and NAACP Team Up Airbnb and The NAACP have teamed up to open up the Airbnb platform to underserved communities. The company has come under fire for helping to facilitate an environment in which hosts routinely refuse to rent to people of color. Some cases are more explicit than others. In California in recent weeks, a host was fined $5,000 for explicitly refusing to rent to an Asian woman for no other reason other than the fact that she's Asian. The host will also have to take a college-level racial sensitivity course. The NAACP will work with Airbnb to identify underserved areas in which residents can learn more about how Airbnb can generate extra needed income. NAACP will be compensated 20% of all revenues that come from this initiative. No word yet on how much of that extra revenue will go to fund local schools and other need services. Nick Statt has the story in The Verge.
