Delaware’s Corporate Makeover: More Than Just Legal Tweaks
Critics argue that Delaware Senate Bill 21, signed into law by Governor Matt Meyer on March 25, 2025, weakens the oversight role of the Chancery Court, potentially eroding investor confidence and transparency. The legislation reshapes how companies and investors view the Court’s role in governance and accountability. While critics sound alarms, advocates defend the Chancery Court’s legacy and enduring relevance. What lies ahead remains to be seen with legal experts largely supportive of the Chancery Court.
Justice in the Post #MeToo Era: Evolving Recognition for Survivors
Nearly eight years since the movement began, public fervor may have faded, but legal reform hasn’t. Landmark laws like New York’s Adult Survivors Act now empower survivors to take aim not just at abusers but also the institutions that enabled their misconduct. Actress Julia Ormond’s ongoing lawsuit against Weinstein and the Creative Artists Agency spotlights this shift—demonstrating how survivors are pushing for accountability on every front. With insights from attorneys on both sides of the aisle, this article reveals whether the “post-#MeToo” label reflects real change—or just a new chapter in a long fight for justice.
Corporations in Public-Private Partnerships: Emerging Risks for Boards
Public-private partnerships between executive functions and private sector companies--as presented in this article--raise challenging issues under Article II of the Constitution. While the federal government has a long history of engaging private companies needed to fulfill policy objectives—from defense to tax collection and healthcare—the emphasis on outsourcing for efficiency has intensified. Over time, the context has shifted from a cooperative alignment of government and business goals to a landscape of competing priorities, making it increasingly difficult to discern when contractors are truly essential. Explore the evolving role of public-private partnerships and the new constitutional and strategic questions they pose.
Hangover Anticipated for Global Markets: Brought on by Central Bank Binging
A contrarian perspective is offered by Hans Hoogervorst--central bank expert, former Dutch minister, and monetary policy author--on why the global economy could, if not properly attended to, drive off an economic cliff and land at the bottom of the capital markets canyon. Unapologetic in his analysis, he reluctantly concedes that markets have defied gravity before—and that perhaps the AI revolution, or another angel, will descend from the heavens and lift us up and over the current dark shadow of his forecast. He invites politicians to explore options beyond bailouts. One thing is certain: Hoogervorst rightfully recuses inaction as a strategy. Benign neglect—he argues—doesn’t pay for a sandwich at the grab-n-go.
Wall Street, Main Street and Pennsylvania Avenue: Gridlock Over Impact from Immigration, Deportation and Policy
Immigration plays a vital role in the U.S. economy, particularly at the state and local levels. From the Dakotas to Texas, and California to Maine, today’s immigration landscape presents crisis-level challenges for businesses both large and small. This article explores the economic impact of past and current policies, revealing how regulatory gaps and conflicting rules have made legal immigration virtually impossible. Without meaningful reform, labor shortages—paired with rising operational costs—could trigger waves of bankruptcies, not only in urban centers but across farming, manufacturing, and resource extraction industries. It’s a reality that seems to defy the spirit of Lady Liberty herself, who--rumor has it--was last seen hailing a cab back to France. Unfortunately, due to a shortage of drivers, she had to seek alternative means.
The Messy Brilliance of Democracy: Where Disagreement Fuels Progress
In a land where cash drives the conversation, talk of American democracy’s decline may sell ads, but such negativity isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. Pundits claim that democracy is at risk or past its prime. Kohn disagrees, offering a compelling insight into change and the Constitution’s role as a civil shock absorber—built to endure swings from both the left and the right. Pushing boundaries between executive, legislative, and judicial powers reflects what Americans expect from their government, not a failing system. The Founding Fathers designed a living document to buffer change and help citizens absorb it. Perhaps it’s time to understand what’s working. It may not be the Constitution that requires activation.
Facts, Science and Evidence-Based Policy Making: Pushing Back Against Propaganda
Determining what qualifies as truth is no easy task—but it remains a moral and legal imperative. The more difficult the test, the more essential it becomes. Information from the margins should not be dismissed as outlier noise; there is room for experimentation that may yield new insights into emerging challenges. This article reviews the use of evidence in policymaking and questions the current consensus on what constitutes a “fact” in public discourse.
Extreme Weather: Its Impact on Agriculture
Chris Gloninger, meteorologist and SkytopTV talk show host of Extreme Weather, engages with Admiral Michael Franken, a leader on climate-related threats, explore the convergence of national security and extreme weather. Reports of hurricanes damaging aircraft carriers, disabling power systems, compromising control centers, and interfering with satellites should give you reason to nestle in from the storm—and cue up your favorite music. “Don’t it always seem to go that you don’t know what you got till it’s gone”—a lyric famously sung by Joni Mitchell—echoes the big debate over whether extreme weather is truly extreme, or simply weather. It’s a tune that leaves many stuck in the reprise.
