Picking and choosing without a particular strategy.” She argues that the Intel deal is poorly designed because it doesn’t have any conditions to incentivize the company to be build new products, while the government simply acts as a passive investor. All SNAP recipients required to reapply as Trump admin cracks down on fraud: 'Business as usual is over' SEC to Allow Companies to Block Shareholder Proposals The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced that it will not express opinions to requests from companies asking to exclude shareholder proposals from their proxy voting materials during the 2025-2026 proxy season, effectively allowing companies to avoid voting on issues proposed by investors such as climate, sustainability and diversity at annual meetings.
