星期四, 十二月 15, 2022

NEW YORK, Dec. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As we head into the holiday season and turn the corner into 2023, Americans are feeling pessimistic about the political divide and social media's potential to threaten the nation's democracy. The majority also expect political discussions to be excused from the family dinner table. These findings and others are revealed in a new research report released today by Benenson Strategy Group (BSG).

Key Points:

"No politics at the dinner table" is a common request when families gather around the holidays, and BSG found most are adhering to this guideline.
A 59% majority of Americans do not talk about politics at all with family over the holidays, and just 6% report arguing with family over politics.
Gen Z and Millennials are more likely to talk politics with family than their Gen X and Boomer parents and grandparents.
The survey also shows 70% believe the country is off on the wrong track and 30% say it's headed in the right direction.

DES PLAINES, Ill., Dec. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Homeowners in Florida and Georgia are not the only ones who could fall victim to post-disaster fraud following Hurricane Ian. The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), the insurance industry leading association dedicated to predicting, preventing, and prosecuting insurance crime, is warning consumers across the United States to stay vigilant when purchasing a used vehicle in the coming weeks and months.

Key Points:

In the aftermath of disasters like Hurricane Ian, dishonest automobile dealers and other individuals buy flooded vehicles, dry and clean them, and sell them to unsuspecting buyers as used vehicles.
Many of these vehicles appear on the market in the weeks and months following a natural disaster, and not just in the states where the disaster occurred.
"Buyers must be particularly careful in these coming months, as thousands of flood damaged vehicles may appear for sale in their areas."
Check the vehicle's history, noting that it can take time for data related to such storms to catch up to these history reports.

The regulation addresses a longstanding regulatory gap as no regime currently regulates support granted by non-EU countries, while EU countries are bound by strict state aid rules.

Key Points:

The regulation addresses a longstanding regulatory gap as no regime currently regulates support granted by non-EU countries, while EU countries are bound by strict state aid rules.
The Commission will also investigate tenders in public procurements if the value of a procurement is at least 250 million.
More efficient
Parliament negotiators improved the effectiveness of EU action by explicitly including state companies - which often receive subsidies - in the scope of the regulation.
Therefore, once equivalent multilateral rules render the new tool redundant, the regulation can be scrapped.
