Trump established the policy of his Administration to regulate the United States financial system in a manner consistent with a set of Core Principles. These principles were set forth in Executive Order 13772 on February 3, 2017. This report is prepared by the U.S. Department of Treasury (Treasury), under the direction of Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin, in response to the Executive Order. This report, as with the prior reports and the subsequent report described below, will identify any laws, treaties, regulations, guidance, reporting and record keep­ ing requirements, and other government policies that promote or inhibit federal regulation of the U.S. financial system in a manner consistent with the Core Principles. The Core Principles are: A. Empower Americans to make independent financial decisions and informed choices in the marketplace, save for retirement, and build individual wealth; B. Prevent taxpayer-funded bailouts; C. Foster economic growth and vibrant financial markets through more rigorous regulatory impact analysis that addresses the systemic risk and market failures, such as moral hazard and information asymmetry; D. Enable American companies to be competitive with foreign firms in domestic and foreign markets; E. Advance American interests in international financial regulatory negotiations and meetings; F. Make regulation efficient, effective, and appropriately tailored; and G. Restore public accountability within federal financial regulatory agencies and rationalize the federal financial regulatory framework. Scope of This Report The financial system encompasses a wide variety of institutions and services and, accordingly, Treasury is delivering a series of four reports related to the Executive Order covering: • The depository system, covering banks, savings associations, and credit unions of all sizes, types and regulatory charters (the Banking Report,1 which was publicly released on June 12, 2017); 1. U.S. Department of the Treasury, A Financial System That Creates Economic Opportunities: Banks and Credit Unions (June 2017). A Financial System That Creates Economic Opportunities • Asset Management and Insurance 3 Executive Summary • Review of the Process for This Report • Capital markets: debt, equity, commodities and derivatives markets, central clearing and other operational functions (the Capital Markets Report,2 which was publicly released on October 6, 2017); • The asset management and insurance industries, and retail and institutional investment products and vehicles (this report); and • Nonbank financial institutions, financial technology, and financial innovation. On April 21, 2017, President Trump issued two Presidential Memoranda to the Secretary of the Treasury (Secretary). One calls for Treasury to review the Orderly Liquidation Authority (OLA) established in Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank). The other calls for Treasury to review the process by which the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) determines that a nonbank financial company could pose a threat to the financial stability

  • Diversity in the Legal Profession
    Diversity In The Legal Profession: The More Things Change, The More They Stay The Same – Until They Don’t The stated desire to address the diversity imbalance may give way to real change if peoples’ wallets depend on it. French writer Alphonse Karr famously wrote “plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose” – the more things change, the more they stay the same. This often seems true in the legal industry, especially when it comes to chronic challenges and the shared desire to bring about positive change. David recently attended HBR Consulting’s Legal Lab, an annual gathering of select industry leaders brought together by HBR (David serves on HBR’s Advisory Board). This year’s Legal Lab included individuals holding a diverse set of roles at law firms, law departments and technology companies, and addressed four key areas influencing the industry: law departments, large law firms, talent management and staffing, and technology. As expected, numerous challenges and opportunities were discussed, and the discourse was transparent and refreshing. Notably, one issue surfaced in every discussion, and throughout the event: diversity and inclusion. Nearly every participant discussed the industry’s need to create more diverse and inclusive workplaces, at firms and companies, and the benefits that would accompany such a change. Those same leaders agreed that despite decades of effort, no firm or company had cracked the code toward moving the needle. Many articles have discussed the disappointing statistics of legal industry diversity. For an overview, see the following, among many others: Americans Rank Law Firms Dead Last In Commitment To Diversity Minorities In The Legal Profession Have Barely Increased Since 2000 In summary, despite two decades of extensive efforts, gender and other diversity at the partner and GC level is essentially unchanged.

COLES 15.07.2019 “Strategic Extremism”: How Republicans and Establishment Democrats Use Identity Politics to Divide and Rule Photograph Source: Tyler Merbler – CC BY 2.0 As we know, both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party are bought, sold, and paid for by big business. For that reason, both have a history of avoiding the issues that are common to Americans of all political persuasions. Addressing such issues would undermine the profits of big business. They include free healthcare, living wages, quality work, secure pensions, unionization, etc. In order to protect the profits of their business investors, both parties focus on the cultural differences between Americans. As campaigning for the election 2020 gets underway, we www.afgazad.com 1 [email protected] can expect the Trump-led Republican Party to increase its inflammatory nonsense in a deliberate effort to mobilize right-wing voters. We can also expect the culturally “liberal” mainstream media to happily take the bait and make Trump’s cultural illiberalism a big issue. As mega-corporations, they also want to avoid real issues. Until Trump came along, the Republican Party whipped up support among Evangelical Christians by appealing to “moral” issues like abortion (as if free healthcare, for instance, isn’t a moral issue). Because Trump obviously isn’t a Christian, it would have been harder to sell him to Evangelical voters were it not for his platform of Islamophobia.

Experience shows that a majority of Texans don't vote in off-year elections, even if the stakes are as high as they are in this one. Passage of Prop A may be "absolutely critical to Houston's financial future," as my colleagues on the editorial board put it. Its failure would mean the city begins the next fiscal year with a sizable budget hole. Even so, early voting began on Monday, and people are not yet stampeding to the polls. Houston Chronicle Don’t be scared away from the polls Tuesday October 31, 2017, By Lisa Falkenberg The reforms, as my colleague Mike Morris has reported, would erase the debt over 30 years in part by cutting pension benefits by $2.8 billion and capping future pension costs.
