"Section 8 Microfinance Company Registration: A Philanthropic Approach" refers to the process of legally establishing a non-profit microfinance company under Section 8 of the Companies Act. This unique registration allows organizations to provide financial services to low-income individuals and small businesses with a philanthropic intent. It enables them to operate as a non-profit entity, focusing on social impact rather than profit generation. This approach aims to uplift marginalized communities by offering access to financial resources and empowering them towards economic self-sufficiency.

As of December 2023, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) has received 59 allegations that Donald Trump or his committees violated the Federal Election Campaign Act. In 29 of those cases, nonpartisan staff in the FEC’s Office of General Counsel (OGC) recommended the FEC investigate Trump. Yet not once has a Republican FEC commissioner voted to approve any such investigation or enforcement of the law against Trump.

Democratic Vice Chair Ellen Weintraub pointed this out in her December 5, 2023 statement of reasons after the FEC once again failed to garner the votes to enforce the law against Trump after he allegedly violated the law by illegally soliciting or directing money to a pro-Trump super PAC that spent millions on ads opposing Joe Biden in 2020.

Because at least four of the six FEC Commissioners need to approve any FEC investigation, and because only three of those seats can be filled by Democrats, Republicans hold a veto over the agency’s enforcement and have repeatedly used it to shoot down any recommended enforcement of campaign finance law against Trump—and thus successfully shielded him from accountability over and over. Instead of fostering bipartisanship, the split FEC has often become gridlocked and, in cases involving Trump, its ability to pursue action is constrained by the members of one party.

The FEC’s enabling statute, the Federal Election Campaign Act, specifically subjects the Commission’s non-enforcement to review to prevent it from blocking meritorious enforcement. In June 2018, however, two Republican-appointed judges of the D.C. Circuit—including now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh—largely gutted that rule, giving commissioners the authority to block enforcement of the law without judicial review if the commissioners claimed that they did so as an exercise of prosecutorial discretion or under Heckler v. Chaney.

So, in 21 of the 29 cases where the FEC received recommendations to enforce the law against Trump, Republican commissioners justified non-enforcement by invoking prudential or discretionary factors in attempts to circumvent review.

When dismissing the recommendations to investigate Trump—and to kill further inquiries into his actions—the Republican commissioners have at times claimed that the FEC should not take any action because “proceeding further would not be an appropriate use of Commission resources” or that the resources would be “best spent elsewhere.” Trump has even falsely declared that the FEC “dropped” one of its investigations into him “because they found no evidence of problems.” As Commissioner Weintraub wrote in a statement of reasons in November 2023, “the data is clear: At the FEC, Mr. Trump is in a category by himself.”

Unless courts restore their check on partisan vetoes on enforcement, the commissioners will continue to fail to enforce federal campaign finance law against the powerful figures they are trying to protect.

Election 2024 - The American Dream Is Being Lost; Even Among Our Own Citizens

I'm an independent. I've thought about my vote this year and I don't know if I will.

Trump:

-Good for economics/money (Whether you like him or not, he knows how money works)

-He's good for peace among nations and international affairs….he understands America's value/brand.

-Trump is Pro-Life. But, under the circumstances, if the woman is raped or the mother or the child is going to have complications; I do believe the woman has a choice.

But, I'm for legal immigration and I'm against not allowing honest human beings across the world to use America as a refuge away from danger; a safe haven. I'm also personally not dealing with a public American citizen divide & a governmental divide anymore.

I also disagree with the dissolution of Social Security. America's population is stagnant. The population isn't increasing enough equal to the money made by individuals to say people don't need it. And the population isn't decreasing enough to not afford it.

The States in America have enough tax money and profits from gambling alone to afford it. And If people need help with finances until they get themselves on their feet, they should get it. If they need a break from life while dealing with mental health issues, they should get financial help.

If people go through the process for financial help legally and honestly without abusing the system they should get it.

The American Dream ironically due to the direction of penalizing Capitalism and a decline in societal values, morals and selection of who should be rich and who doesn't deserve it is putting the American Dream at risk....which leads me to Biden.

Biden:

-I don't like the path he is setting for people, their futures, their families, education and peace - both within American Communities and Internationally.

-I'm completely against his new proposal of increasing the Capital Gains Tax. If people find a way to financial freedom. Allow it. The Capital Gain Tax is fine the way it is. He's determining who doesn't deserve the American Dream and if they get it, penalize them.

-I'm against his social-class warfare he's creating; in a way which determines who does deserve the American Dream vs. if they get the American Dream, penalize them.

-I'm against him not holding colleges accountable and liable for not helping ALL students of race, religion and politics to get a job in the field they studied.

-I'm against him not holding colleges accountable and allowing college's to allow students and people not of the campus or enrolled at the college to protest on matters that they are completely not only un-educated about; but matters that are encouraging division and enticing violence. This breaks the law of peaceful protests, especially if it is intentional to get or encourage a violent reaction. In the end, taking the luxury of our Freedoms for granted.

It should not be wrong to support your country with an American Flag or frowned upon. The Freedoms this country was founded on, has not been at risk of invasion in over 100 years, the closest anyone has come is Pearl Harbor and 9/11. 2 events on 2 days....there hasn't been years of risk of invasion like most countries in the world.

-He's terrible with foreign affairs.

-He refuses to take a strong position on anything. He can't take a stand and call what is yellow is yellow and what is purple is purple.

On both sides, there is too much allowance for generalizations among people, race, religion, populations, social classes, politics, governance and nations. For example, just because I'm white, doesn't mean I like every white person; if I'm treated poorly by someone, am I supposed to like them? So the thinking and reasoning of just because I'm white, I like every white person is a generalization. And a historical example, yet an extreme example - just because Germany was ran by Nazi's doesn't mean there were no German citizens who were against the Nazi's. There were Germans who wanted out; and if they went against the Nazi party they were murdered.

It's an extreme example, but my point is - You can't generalize people, race, religion, populations, social classes, politics, governance and nations.

(Note: What astonishes me with these college kids who claim to be Hamas supporters; if they showed support for Hamas in Hamas controlled territories/sanctions, but Hamas found out they're American. There's a high chance they'd be murdered or held hostage - for just being an American.

There is some dis-connect with these "Pro-Palestinian" supporters at these college campus' not understanding, that they are representing Hamas in these protests.

And I'm certain that these protestors don't recognize, that there are most likely Palestinians who do not want to be associated with Hamas.

This is the misunderstood pro-active movement being a vehicle for a generalization.)

Generalizations are dangerous; the entire point of disagreement is to come to a sound conclusion and decision. And this country, we have lacked that for decades. The constitution and amendments were based on disagreement to come to a sound conclusion. Laws in which we still live by, that were made based off the Mayflower Compact; the first governance order in America to allow peace is still supposed to be upheld.

There are different factions among people, race, religion, populations, social classes, politics, governance and nations.….and if people aren't educated to understand factions and operations to have disagreements with the goal of a sound conclusion….You will NEVER get a unified nation….It will always be division….even to its form into government as saying well they're Republican or they're Democrat…..no, you can't generalize like that….there are Far Right, Far Lefts, Right, Lefts and Moderates in each and believe it or not there are Rights, Lefts and Moderates who do agree on things and want to make sound decisions; but what does the media cover and promote?

The generalization of division simply made as Republican vs. Democrat.

It's absolutely ridiculous and completely uneducated.

America is the place of refuge, the melting pot. An idea and dream to not only be safe, but a land of opportunity. That is being lost. The American dream, even among our own nation and home grown citizens is being lost. The sense of ownership especially with land and homes; the ownership to be part of the American dream is disappearing. Especially when people can't afford homes and land anymore.

And the media, whether left, right or moderate outlets refuse to educate the people about anything and continually allow generalizations to encourage decision making.

It is all re-active reporting with an agenda "that appears" to encourage pro-active decision making for the future, thus making people feel they are making a difference while it is simply re-active reporting with an agenda to create the upcoming future.

People don't realize, that the media is simply pre-programmed. Do not think for one second that the media (whether left, right or moderate) hasn't planned the programming for future reporting ahead of time for that week or even, maybe that month. Literally in the guide of your cable television; you can see each outlet now labeling their shows as Episode 1, 2 and so on.

And all the while the journalism is absolutely terrible; simply just keywords to keep a viewer watching while reporting limited information for a controlled perspective without giving the audience truth among both sides to allow the viewer the free will to make their own decision and come to their own conclusion.

This is not journalism. This is not un-biased reporting. Honestly, it should be illegal.

And I truly believe, if the media took the initiative to recognize this. People would be empowered to attempt to be unified, rather than being empowered by differences.

Media outlets focusing on Trump's trial as a priority while ignoring real conversation American's should be having and being aware of true issues that effect the future without an un-biased opinion should be a priority. America is going to enter a fragile state.

There is no pro-active reporting without agendas. The Daily Show worked in the early 2000's to make jokes of political ridiculousness; it was popular and worked then....And tension in America is so tight, the jokes are out.

I just read an article on Jerry Seinfeld and within so many words, due to the current state - it is hard to be a comedian...people need comedy. But, tensions are too high and everything is offensive.

So, whether its the media or the politicians. You just can't generalize everything. Life is complicated, but you have to call the color what it is.

I'm not defending anyone who comes to your yard sees the dandelions there yellow, believes that your dandelions are purple while they're in your yard trying to convince you the dandelions are purple....when they're yellow.

I can't get behind that.

Probably fake, but interesting to do the calculation:

If we assume the team of 5 are all:

1/ Earning the minimum wage ($7.25/hr) 2/ Full-time 3/ No raises

That would put the CEO at:

$7.25 x 40 x 52 x 20 x 5 = $1,508,000 per month (~$18m annually)

--------------------------------------------

Actually, just read through the comments and according to OP:

CEOs salary is between 25-30 million annually, not including bonuses. He was given the role from his father and his first 3 years in charge was the first time the company ever had a loss. His wife was given the position of President of one of the side companies and his nephew (26 with no prior experience) is the district manager for the west coast.

1/ Department of 5 contains a manager; therefore this would mean that their department is smaller and paid less than the average McDonalds franchise staff. Plus although small departments do exist at large companies, but they usually are very specialized, which indirectly usually means higher paid.

2/ $25-$30m salary before bonuses; therefore they are saying their CEO earns more than 95% of the Fortune 500 CEOs on salary alone. It's not uncommon for CEOs of private organizations to be paid a higher salary than publicly traded, but it is uncommon for their total pay to exceed total pay of publicly traded (especially of the 500 largest companies).

3/ OP knows the CEOs salary and pay breakdown, yet the company is privately owned (e.g. CEO was given the role from their father), therefore executive compensation is not publicly disclosed.

Just had a Girl Dinner of 2 microwave pizzas.

I hope Barbie is proud of me for living in my Bimbo era of not knowing how to do math.

(I seriously don’t know how to do math. Literature was always my forte.)

Rant under Read More

This post is brought to you by that one post with 50 thousand reblogs about how it’s “misogynistic” to say girl dinner or girl math. And Barbie is not a feminist (you’re right. she’s a doll. don’t know if you knew that.) And women that love wearing pink and the aesthetic that is bimbo-core are the reason that feminism is a joke now.

I hate seeing Women berate other Women for the things they love and enjoy. Fuck us if we want a meme surrounding us that literally does no harm.

Women can’t have anything. And it’s really sad to see that it’s other women trying to take it away. Y’all wack as fuck.

#Judy talks Finance (not really)#the barbie movie #girl dinner #girl math #bimbo core #it’s funny #it’s a joke #no one is taking those tiktoks seriously #the fact that you think women only deserve respect is if they’re good at math #wear conservative clothing #and never make jokes about self deprecation #is dumb as shit #I’m gonna wear a tiny pink skirt with my butt on display #a Barbie crop top #and be bad at math #all while loving myself #and you can take that to the bank

Putting this over here to isolate this point: the OTW Volunteers did a lot of work to get AO3 back up and running after the DDoS. The OTW Board didn't do shit.

Your donations to AO3 go into OTW's financial reserve, and an estimate of how much they have is around $2.5 million (thread that breaks this down). They can maintain the platform for five years with what they have stored, and that number may be a low estimate.

OTW doesn't need your money. OTW's volunteers deserve financial compensation for all they've been subjected to, but none will see a penny from your donations.

Support the volunteers all you like, but know that your donations do nothing for them nor improve their working conditions.

Also stop being islamophobic assholes, the people who did this called themselves Sudanese just to get this kind of response. Grow up, learn to spot a troll, and go educate yourselves instead of constantly spewing racist shit.

#original #ao3 #archive of our own #otw #our transformative works #and i swear to fucking god if i see another post ''blaming antis'' for this or the csem/csam shit im destroying your routers #anti as a term doesnt mean shit. it's just whoever you're pissed at currently #y'all use it the way conservatives use woke #there is no proof that ''antis'' did this or the csem/csam shit and to continue to act so is to willingly obfuscate the issue here #grow the fuck up #and maybe stop basing your armchair activism around ''proship vs antis'' (as if that actually means anything) and go outside.#stop leading massive harassment campaigns just because someone said ao3 is fallible and that there's something deeply wrong w them #do not base you identity and ideology around an organization that doesn't have your best interests in mind if they cant even be their for #their volunteers. they especially won't be there for you #their hoarding of finances is deeply suspect especially as they continue to run donation drives that more than fund site reqs #fuck the otw board #someone pay those damn volunteers and get them therapy

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) has fined former Rep. Rodney Davis’ (R-Ill.) campaign for failing to refund excess contributions in a timely manner.

The FEC sent a letter to the Rodney for Congress campaign, and its treasurer, Thomas Charles Datwyler, The Associated Press reported.

He was asked to pay $43,475 for failing to return excess contributions from the 2021-2022 election cycle, per the AP.

According to the FEC, a candidate must refund excessive contributions within 60 days if they don’t redesignate it for a campaign.

The FEC found that one contribution of $3,625 and general election contributions of $479,784 were not redistributed within 60 days.

Davis served five terms in Congress until redistricting pushed him into a district to compete with now-Rep. Mary Miller (R-Ill.) and he lost the 2022 GOP primary.

The AP said a phone call to the number associated with Davis went unanswered. His committee told the FEC that it would dissolve after resolving the issue.

my boss sometimes uses ai tools (mostly chatgpt and grammarly) to help write his testing reports and sure it saves time, but being stubborn and adamantly opposed to all this ai shit, I just refuse to use those tools even though it adds actual hours of work to do it the old fashioned way.

I just. refuse. to put my name on something I didn't write myself.

#and I get that word's grammar/spellcheck is technically an ai but like #it's old you know #and usually wrong lol #I can't stand that he just uses these tools uncritically #honestly he's a nice guy but I get...somewhat uncomfortable vibes from him sometimes #like...conservative tech or finance bro vibes #whatever I'm only working with him until I can start my internship next summer #and he pays well
