It’s come up again. Can I set up a “B” corporation? Can you help us set up a benefit corporation? I’ve covered these entities in a few blogs, which is why I’m guessing our clients ask us about them.

Caveat Emptor- or is that Cavete Volanti?
I debated writing this piece. But, I realized me not telling you would serve no purpose whatsoever. Because those that can already know they can. And, if you don’t know they can, then you are at risk. What am I talking about? Hacking an airplane that is flying our skies.
Out of context?
Baltimore is burning. Thankfully not all of it. Unfortunately, it was bound to happen. Not that it should have, but given the tone deafness of leaders, of police, and the failure to educate our youth, it was almost inevitable.
300 to 1?
So, Hilary told us last week that CEOs of US companies are making 300 times what their workers make. Of course, that sent certain folks screaming that it was inaccurate.
The Rate of Change- Moore or Less…
Moore’s Law. 50 years old. It’s showing its age.
Sure, Murphy’s Law is the law better known to the younger (and older) set today. (That law states that anything that can go wrong will go wrong.)
Captive Insurance (2)
Yesterday, I explained how captive insurance companies are supposed to work. They serve as a means to minimize the risk, but don’t leave policyholders without any recourse- or, in the case of our firms, any potentially harmed folks without any chance to recover damages. Today, I will explain how this process is being subverted- these captives are being formed to rip off the public.
Captive Insurance (1)
Captive insurance company. Sounds pretty cool. And, back in the 80’s, it was a critical juncture for us. We were a small provider of medical products. And, our product liability insurance was running 3% of sales- and growing fast.
Tax Falsehoods
Oh, the fictions our politicians weave. And, they hope- no, they expect- we, the citizenry will fall under their spell and believe them.
IRS Follies
I’ve written how the partisan attacks on the IRS have devastated the service. Now, when a taxpayer calls the IRS, s/he can expect to be on hold for 75 minutes- and hope that when someone finally comes on the phone, they are not (un)intentionally disconnected- or told that the representative can’t help the caller.
Who’s putting whom at risk?
You have to love the pundits. They sit on the sidelines and pontificate. Most have little expertise in what they proffer to the public. But, they are paid- some way too much.
