OA1074: We begin with a quick look at JD Vance's cringiest moment during this week's VP debate. Does the junior senator from Ohio know anything about immigration law--let alone vice presidenting? In our main story: Two of last term's worst U.S. Supreme Court decisions surrounding “official acts” have been playing out in real time this week in two of the most important criminal prosecutions in the US. First, special counsel Jack Smith has just filed a monster of a brief in the DC case against Donald Trump for his responsibility for the events of January 6th, 2001. Why is this filing so unique, and what can we learn about the evidence against Trump and DOJ's strategy going forward? Meanwhile, New York Mayor Eric Adams has filed a motion to dismiss his pending bribery charge on the grounds that bribery is pretty much legal now. Could the SCOTUS decision in Snyder v. US actually make a difference here? Finally, Matt drops a rare animal law footnote to explain how the fate of one adorable little beaver became the single most important issue facing the Massachusetts government this week. Video of JD Vance badly mansplaining immigration law during the VP debate Special counsel Jack Smith's Motion for Immunity Determinations (10/3/24) Eric Adams's motion to dismiss Count V of his pending indictment (9/30/24) Petition to save Nibi the Beaver  Governor Maura Healey's late-breaking announcement re: the fate of Nibi the Beaver Snyder v.

Macro Specialist James Brodie and Research Analyst Harry Nedeljkovic weigh in on the latest news in the presidential campaign, discussing who the Democratic Party will select as a replacement for Joe Biden as their candidate, who will likely be chosen as a running mate, how Donald Trump's could react, and subsequently how these critical decisions may affect markets.US June retail sales remain unchanged (0.0% m/m; est. -0.3%) while industrial production is up +0.6% m/m (est. +0.3%). Powell said yesterday “Now that inflation has come down and the labour market has indeed cooled off, we're going to be looking at both mandates.” Looking at other US data, jobless claims are trending higher.The Chinese central bank also unexpectedly cut key lending rates to new record lows at the July fixing to aid the country's fragile economic recovery following weak Q2 GDP readings. In Japan, the yen continued its rally to below 157 per dollar, however, the Nikkei fell 1.16% on Monday morning to 3-week lows.In the US, the Nasdaq had its worst day since 2022 last week, whilst the S&P 500 has now gone 350 trading days without a 2% correction (the longest since February 2007). According to GS Prime, the hedge fund de-grossing activity over the past 5 sessions is the largest in 20 months and ranks in the 99th percentile over the past 5 years.Canadian CPI has fallen to 2.7%, with the probability of rate cuts for July 24th having now risen to 90%.The chart of the week this week is Nvidia, with critical support at 117.80.Key data releases this week:Tuesday; GFK Consumer and IFO Business sentimentWednesday; Eurozone Manufacturing & Services PMIThursday; Q2 advance GDP (2% expected annualised)Friday; Core PCE (est. +0.1% m/m, 2.4% y/y; prev. 2.6%)

What does the recent US inflation data signal about the potential roadmap of interest rate cuts this year? Why are megatech stocks beaten down after 7 consecutives of rally? And why are investors shifting to riskier corners of the market at this juncture? Dan Koh and Ryan Huang investigate.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We have US June consumer price inflation data. Federal Reserve Chair Powell thinks this matters, because politicians think this matters, and Powell thinks politicians are important. Economists, who are actually important, tend to regard headline US consumer price data as a rather poor quality statistic.

He Is Not Like Us! / Mark 4:35-41Get the episode here.                                             

The mind in which grace lights a flame becomes, in time, a different mind. By nature and by nurture, we're self-absorbed and focused on what brings us gain, what brings us fame. The path of least resistance leads us to our touted rights, and often—yes—our touted righteousness. We are the measure of all things: we sort and filter for what gives us points, what gives us power, what adds to our advantage. But when the grace of a supremely other-centered God breathes through the “heats of our desire,” the self-absorption starts to wane, and we begin to be the kinder, wiser souls we've sometimes ached to be. We hear the broken, and remember we were broken, too. We see the wounded, and we search for bandages of love. We touch the hurting with a gentleness learned from the Healer who never, ever hurries. Grace turns us from unhelpful fools into new humans, wise and warm. The grace that saves us also makes us gracious. So stay in grace. -Bill Knott

Jesus points over and over again to a reality easy to miss, and yet already present: a “new family” that shakes up the world. This is a family in which love is thicker than blood.  Luke 17:20-21.

US June retail sales data gives insight into the hedonism of the US consumer. The data is nominal, including price rises. Many goods prices are now falling, but areas like food sales still have lingering effects from the profit-led inflation episode. Tighter credit conditions may constrain the national pastime of US consumers spending money they do not have on things they do not need.

Markets cheered the US June inflation report, with equities rising and yields falling on solid evidence that the forces that drove core inflation to a four-decade high are in retreat. But is the crisis really over? How will the Fed respond in July and subsequent meetings? And what does the US experience say about the UK and European outlooks?In this week's episode of The Weekly Briefing from Capital Economics, Group Chief Economist Neil Shearing talks to David Wilder about this latest shift in the US inflation narrative and the implications for policy. Neil also previews the coming week's UK inflation report and discusses the risks to the economic outlook posed by El Niño.Plus, following Wagner Group leader Yezgeny Prigozhin's dramatic failed rebellion last month, Senior Emerging Markets Economist Liam Peach discusses his major new report about Russia's precarious economy. Liam explains the tricky task that the Putin regime now faces in maintaining macro stability at the same time as prosecuting the war on Ukraine, including the economic pressures that could force the government to seek a way out of the conflict.

Link to slide deck: https://shorturl.at/hyW13   - Equities got the best of all worlds yesterday with US June inflation figures surprising to the downside painting a perfect picture of lower inflation, higher real disposable income, and no landing in the global economy (maybe even an acceleration?) leading to a US yield curve steepening with long bond yields declining. With animal spirits already running high this new setup took US equities to new highs for the cycle and the highest close in 15 months. We also cover the moves across other asset classes as the USD fell sharply and gold and silver rallied hard.

Julie Su, Acting US Secretary of Labor, discusses the US June payrolls report coming in below estimates. Randall Kroszner, University of Chicago Booth School Professor of Economics & Fmr. Fed Governor, says "wage growth is still stronger than the Fed will feel comfortable with." Lindsey Piegza, Stifel Chief Economist, says the jobs report "keeps the Fed on the path for an addition rate increase later this month."

The US Navy has admitted that they heard a loud bang around the time when OceanGate lost contact with its missing Titan submarine piloted by CEO Stockton Rush. But why did they wait so long to confirm it had imploded? Was the “uncertain” fate of this submarine extended to distract from something bigger that was in the news this week? Many people are speaking out about the warning signs that were apparent before the Titan went down to its doom, including James Cameron, other submarine divers, and family members of the deceased. There are also big connections to the original Titanic and who was on it when it sank. Perhaps the strangest part of this situation was the eerie similarity to the book The Wreck of the Titan from 1898 that described the sinking of a ship called the Titan—and that hit an iceberg 12 years before the actual sinking of the Titanic. Join Ben and Rob on this Friday Night Live as they dive far deeper into this week's mysteries.

The Rainbow Risk Alliance was formed in 2021 to be a resource, networking hub, and center of support for the LGBTQIA+ community of the risk profession. JP Navarro is the secretary of the group and you might have seen him at RISKWORLD 2023 hosting a community meetup in the DE&I Lounge. [2:58] We are going to continue those dialogs by having him join us here to discuss Pride Month, how he feels the profession successfully approaches the concept of inclusivity, and how some inclusivity initiatives can be strengthened further. [3:20] Justin welcomes JP Navarro of the Rainbow Risk Alliance to RIMScast. [3:45] JP works for Hanna Brophy, a law firm in California, that works primarily in workers' compensation defense. JP does their marketing and business development, including a lot of networking. Hanna Brophy integrates into the world of risk as an advisor and provider of legal services to risk management throughout the community. [4:20] While developing many new relationships through networking across California and nationally, JP came to be involved with the Rainbow Risk Alliance by networking with two of its co-founders a few years back. When they started the RRA, they tapped JP to be one of the founding board members. [5:36] JP says RISKWORLD 2023 was fantastic. He loved being in Atlanta at a fantastic venue. Rainbow Risk Alliance had been invited by RIMS to host a community meetup session for the LGBTQIA+ community. They were placed next to some coffee! They drew quite a diverse crowd of people who networked and learned more about RRA. [6:35] It was an opportunity for people who were interested in learning how they can be allies; how they can work within their organizations to promote LGBTQIA initiatives. They had excellent conversations with different facets of the industry, including RIMS members and other parties. JP thinks that's one of the best things about RISKWORLD. [7:39] Members of the Rainbow Risk Alliance are risk and insurance professionals and risk-adjacent service providers based in California from all walks of the risk world life. One of the co-founders, Tamara Corbin, is a VP with Gallagher Bassett. JP tells how the alliance arose from an informal LGBTQIA+ network to boost community representation. [10:09] LGBTQIA+ stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual people. The “+” ensures inclusivity. The board has seven members, all from California. They have over two thousand members across the United States. [11:15] RRA is trying to get its roots grounded in the risk and risk-adjacent community spreading into a national organization with chapters supporting the various initiatives relevant to them and their community at large, with people who identify with LGBTQIA+ community and people who want to be allies and support it in their organizations.

Scott tells about the webinar featuring Chip Hargrave of Walmart. It's going to be fantastic! Visit rims.org/webinars to sign up for webinars. [16:20] One of the biggest steps JP has seen is curiosity about, as a risk community, what we can do, not just to support our organization … [but] how we're impacting everything around us, and that curiosity leading to some pivotal discussions around what the risk community can do to support, taking a deep dive into important issues. [17:25] JP shares an example. What have organizations done as risk professionals about issues that may detrimentally impact the LGBTQIA+ community in times of disaster? What legal, cultural, and economic issues would they face as a result of a disaster? What have we done to address that proactively? [18:05] These are newer pieces of the risk conversation. JP sees this as a positive outcome from the risk community to address what they can do for the LGBTQIA+ community. [18:21] Regarding DE&I, there have been a lot of conversations over the last several years about what we can do to bolster DE&I initiatives within our industry. JP brings up curiosity, bringing the conversations to the table in public forums like RISKWORLD 2023. These conversations are popping up at key points throughout the year in the industry. [19:05] JP says that's great because it furthers this idea of curiosity. We're talking about it. As long as we're talking about it, we're making movement. JP says the risk community has picked it up and run with it. [19:22] In JP's professional work, he sees a lot of interest in understanding how organizations are supporting LGBTQIA+ and DE&I initiatives because it's important to them. How are we fostering development and recruitment into our industry? They're asking for metrics, conversations, and updates. [20:45] LGBTQIA+ is a personal identification that comes with a lot of things behind it. If somebody isn't comfortable with identifying at home, we can't expect them to do it at work unless it's anonymous. Surveys are not trusted to be anonymous. Think about what a safe workplace is. Are we inclusive? Look at the language of initiatives. [21:49] JP was reminded of this when he reviewed case law recently that included the word “firemen.” Firefighters include both men and women. JP has seen positive responses to the way we've adjusted the pronouns within our existing policies. Ensure that the language in your policies is inclusive. That's a huge step you can take now. [22:52] Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) can be an excellent source of information and a way to put your finger on the pulse of a company's culture as it's perceived by each group. Be open to listening to what those groups have to say. Those can be really difficult conversations; what is intended by a policy may not be what is perceived. [24:08] JP recommends that organizations consult with DE&I experts. Having a third-party perspective to help shape policies and craft initiatives is an excellent investment in an organization's culture. That's what speaks to the community at large. [24:45] Rainbow Risk Alliance has a Second Annual Pride Social on June 22nd. There will be drinks, hors d'oeuvres, and a drag show. It will be a social networking event in West Hollywood from 5 to 9 p.m. at the Chapel at the Abbey, seen on reality shows like The Real Housewives and The Vanderpump Rules. [27:56] Justin thanks JP for being on RIMScast and says he looks forward to seeing him at RISKWORLD 2024 in San Diego! JP thanks Justin and wishes everybody happy Pride! JP looks forward to being in San Diego and promises another Community Meetup! [28:23] Justin says a “special thanks to JP Navarro of the Rainbow Risk Alliance for joining us here today.” Rainbow Risk Alliance links are on the show notes.

The link is in the show notes. [2:41] The new and mixed commodities being brought into commercial and industrial buildings are adding to the evolution and omnipresence of fire risks. Ralph Bless is here to discuss how to identify these materials and machines and the need for full-scale testing. Justin welcomes Ralph Bless to RIMScast. [3:05] About Ralph's 40-year career in the industry with new construction, remodels, maintenance, and testing. [3:46] How Ralph has worked with risk professionals has changed in the past few years, from dealing with the pandemic, how facilities are used, and bringing people back into facilities, including egress and protection issues. [4:30] Fire risk in facilities has evolved in how we're using the buildings, and what we're putting in them. The products have changed, from hand sanitizer, batteries, and plastics, to the packaging around them. From the start of Ralph's career to today, the fire risk has grown significantly. [5:22] The changes in fire risk have been across the board, from offices to storage, to manufacturing facilities. The requirements for sprinklers for multi-rack systems have changed, for example, providing challenges for Telgian's clients and the industry. [6:17] Batteries, whether for electric vehicles or everyday equipment, have changed the fire risk. A very small battery can create a very large fire. Telgian is exploring how to protect against battery fires. Packaging and the manner of storing products also add fire risks. Plastic pallets have replaced wood pallets. [7:12] Automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) are popular. The robots and lift vehicles are battery-powered with their charging stations, creating new risks as workers are returning to facilities. [8:11] The codes, standards, data sheets, and guidelines are behind the times. There has not been enough testing to know to protect these new automated facilities. In a lot of cases, water alone is not the solution. [8:31] Ralph lists data sheets, guidelines, and codes that need to be modernized. One of the significant challenges of code development, for instance, the NFPA code, is the three-year cycle to update. Those are adopted by the building codes one year later. Then the building codes need to be adopted by the states, provinces, and countries. [9:34] By the time facility builders and managers have the codes and standards, they are at least four years old. Technology changes faster than that. [10:06] Ralph serves on six NFPA technical committees and some certification bodies. He likes the NFPA process and has been involved in it for some years. Everybody gets a voice. The challenge is in keeping up with what's going on. NFPA is involved in full-scale fire testing as well as code development, working with state and local jurisdictions. [11:02]  RIMS plug time! Sponsor a weekly or dedicated episode of RIMScast! Contact us at pd@rims.org. The virtual workshop Managing Worker Compensation, Employer's Liability and Employment Practices in the U.S. will be June 20–21, Register by June 19!

See go.RIMS.org/dataworkshops. Registration closes June 14th. Additional courses are on September 14th and December 7th. [12:31] The webinar Large-Scale Risk: How Walmart Manages the Risks Unique to Large and Growing Companies will be on June 22, 2023. Scott Fenstermaker of Riskonnect will lead the session. Scott tells about the webinar featuring Chip Hargrave of Walmart. It's going to be fantastic! Visit rims.org/webinars to sign up for this webinar and others. [15:28] With their larger customers and facilities, Telgian does fire modeling, egress modeling, fire development modeling, smoke modeling, or full-scale fire testing. The codes and standards need to be generic, but specialized facilities need to be full-scale fire-tested. It makes good business sense. [16:54] Ralph discusses how organizations can manage the risks of new commodities and devices in their facilities. Take a hard look at how the use of the facility has changed and the product has changed. He shares the example of plastic toys in open packaging on store shelves and vertically stacked mattresses that burn vigorously. [18:22] Facilities managers may think that inspecting their sprinkler and alarm systems regularly for wear and tear is enough, but they need to be analyzed for how well they will protect the facility in a fire. Involve loss control engineer consultants and the risk department in the analysis. Work with the community fire department. [20:20] About the nearly year-round wildfire risk in the U.S. Some insurance companies refuse to insure certain areas. How do we protect facilities and become good stewards? [21:22] Risk professionals should collaborate with Operations, R&D, the community, your insurance providers, your loss control engineers, the risk team, and any consultants you may bring in. [22:19] Fire risk isn't calculated by the month but by the industry involved. Telgian has seen large facility fires in every month of the last year and a half. You really have to be on your game all the time. [22:59] Justin says a “special thanks to Ralph Bless for joining RIMScast today.” Listen to the episodes related to fire risks and water damage reduction linked on the show notes.

Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.   Eloise Copland joins RIMScast to discuss the effects human bias has on all decision-making, what bias is, and working with bias by understanding how the mind uses it as a shortcut to process information. Understanding our biases about the environment will help us to direct with intention our decision-making around climate-change issues. Listen to this enlightening discussion to help inform your organization's approach toward prioritizing the environment.   Key Takeaways: [:01] About RIMScast. [:27] About today's episode with Principal Behavioral Scientist, Influence at Work, Eloise Copland, on the psychology of environmental bias risk. [:37] All about upcoming RIMS webinars, and more!

Justin introduces Eloise Copland, the Principal Behavioral Scientist for Influence at Work. Eloise joins the podcast to talk about our approach to environmental bias and environmental risk. [3:43] Justin welcomes Eloise Copland, or Elle, to RIMScast. El is five hours ahead of New York time. [4:25] Elle tells about her background, career, and what excites her every day about behavioral economics and addressing environmental bias. [6:32] It takes well-funded agencies and corporations working together for change to occur. People run agencies and corporations and their biases influence decisions. [7:10] There isn't one simple answer to why executives prioritize short-term environmental challenges over the bigger picture. We like to think that with the right information, and with the right resources, people make rational decisions. Research shows that people's decisions are influenced by mental shortcuts called biases. [8:43] The four types of biases: Present bias — we value our present selves more than our future selves. Uncertainty aversion — we avoid unknown risks. Optimism Bias — we are overly optimistic about the future. Loss Aversion — we find losses to be more negative than equivalent gains are positive. [15:49] Execs believe it's significantly more costly to be sustainable because there's a lot of investment and you don't get a lot of payback. Loss aversion overpowers the potential gains an organization might get. [16:19] RIMS plug time! Sponsor a weekly or dedicated episode of RIMScast! Contact us at pd@rims.org. The virtual workshop Managing Worker Compensation, Employer's Liability and Employment Practices in the U.S. will be June 20–21, Register by June 19!

[17:48] The webinar "Large-Scale Risk: How Walmart Manages the Risks Unique to Large and Growing Companies" will be on June 22, 2023. Scott Fenstermaker of RIskonnect will lead the session. Scott tells about the webinar featuring Chip Hargrave of Walmart. [20:54] Elle describes ways to work with biases. Knowing what influences our decisions can help us to reduce the power biases hold over us. Elle suggests three things to add to our arsenal: changing people's focus, making it tangible, and making it personal. [22:42] Change people's focus by encouraging executives to look at long-term goals. Find ways to reward longer-term achievements and make the environmental threat more immediate. Use hypothetical scenarios. [25:23] Make the outcomes more tangible by providing people with a roadmap with the steps of what they can do to achieve a larger goal or reduce the uncertainty by telling people what other people are doing. Have them make implementation intentions, such as “If this happens, I will do that.” Research shows that this works. [26:53] Make the outcome personal by showing people the emotional and oral impacts of climate change on their nations, communities, and families. They will be much more likely to act beyond the minimum requirements. [29:51] Elle discusses when executives stubbornly pursue short-term priorities instead of big-picture priorities. Elle suggests empathetically engaging executives to see the big picture. Make sure that when we think about systems, we're thinking in the long term. Biases are not handicaps but are the ways our brains process information. [34:03] With the understanding of how humans think, we can integrate this understanding into our systems and what we do, to make sure that we don't hit this situation where someone is too short-sighted or stubborn. [34:55] About the COP climate change summits, good and bad. Elle describes the “planning fallacy.” Attending the summit and creating a commitment is not taking action. Tie your commitments to measurable and visible impacts. [41:01] Sponsor a RIMScast episode to reach a global audience!

And I began to sort of focus on understanding people's perceptions about the environment and their motivations and barriers.” — Eloise Copland   “This idea of losses — they kind of loom much larger in our brains than gains do. So in the context of executives and business and risk and the environment, people are pretty hesitant to invest in climate change solutions … that have unknown or unproven ROI.” — Eloise Copland   “The better we understand what is making and driving the decision-making when … we're in the boardroom; the better we can ensure our systems and our communications fit with these beliefs. … Don't communicate … in ways that aren't going to resonate.” — Eloise Copland   “With the proper understanding of how humans think, we can integrate this understanding into our systems; into what we do, to make sure that we don't hit this situation where someone is too short-sighted; too stubborn.” — Eloise Copland
