There are few senators I disrespect more than #ChuckGrassley. But I must applaud his "call for suspending the development of the 2025 #DietaryGuidelines for Americans until [the oversight agencies] fully disclose all financial #ConflictsOfInterest (#COI) on the appointed expert group that oversees the science for the guidelines, called the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (#DGAC)."

#Neuralink's animal research #oversight board may pose #conflictsofinterest
At #Musk’s #brain-chip startup, #animaltesting panel is rife with potential conflicts: As of late last year, 19 of the oversight board governing the animal research program’s 22 members were Neuralink employees https://www.reuters.com/technology/musks-brain-chip-startup-animal-testing-panel-is-rife-with-potential-conflicts-2023-05-04/

Why don't Presidents and Supreme Court Justices have to disclose their #ConflictsOfInterest like all other United States Government employees?

AO US Cts: "Judges, judicial employees nationwide are bound by #ethicslaws, prescribed #codesofconduct. These govern proper performance of official duties, limit certain #outsideactivities to avoid #conflictsofinterest. Under #JudicialConduct & Disability Act, chief judges and circuit judicial councils, & Judicial Conference of US when appropriate, investigate & resolve any submitted claim that judge “has engaged in conduct prejudicial to effective, expeditious admin of business of courts”

Supremes are experts in #ConflictsofInterest…#ClarenceThomas has the weakest explanation possible. It makes me extra #sad, beyond the saddest of all outcomes when #US #women lost bodily #autonomy, that he helps shape laws in this country. #HEARTBREAKING #SaveSCOTUS #RoeVWade #AbortionIsHealthcare

What if a business "going public" (#IPO) meant being converted into a cooperative? The #founder gets their cash payout for building something of value to the community by actually *selling* it to the community? Power to the people!

I want to see laws passed that help promote and incentivize this option.

#Cooperatives reduce:
* #Inequality
* #EconomicInstability
* #PerverseIncentives
* #ConflictsOfInterest

The #profit made by a cooperative goes back into the #community, and their #leadership decisions are made by the community, because they are #CommunityOwned.

That means they'll listen if you say #climate matters. They'll care if you want to look out for the #disadvantaged in your community. They won't try to rake you over the coals with #PriceGouging. They won't try to trick you with #FalseAdvertizing. They won't try to manipulate you into #overspending or #ImpulseBuys. Because "they" are YOU.

The parade of clickable headlines about #ConflictsOfInterest in #nutrition and #obesity is getting tiresome. Not because we shouldn't pay attention to bias in discourse on these subjects. But because the stories often presume there's one righteous answer.

This viewpoint in European Science Editing makes an argument for open review practices mediating the hotly debated question of whether editors-in-chief should publish in their own journals.

A potential solution to this age-old problem.

If we can agree on anything after the Led by Donkeys Korean sting on MP's selling themselves, it must be that in time all MP's should have no second, third or forth jobs.

They are and always have been conflicts of interest and in particular have directed policy against the good of the nation far roo many times...

1) Staff member works for a Community of Chalet owners with volunteer directors. Some cultural clashes but generally works ok.
2) #ConflictsOfInterest build up and clash with new directors sees them all quit, all sorts of allegations.
3) Yet another set of Directors (inc me) trying to mop up and get the business of the community back on track.
4) In the mean time, #Community has explicitly ruled that staff cannot live on site partly as a response.
5) This person has formally joined the Community as an owner.
6) Despite all this background and even greater conflicts of interest, they've applied for the new staff post. And polled friends in the community about whether they should get the job.

They've almost ruled themselves out with this final act, even if we could resolve the conflicts of interest.

But we still have to unpack this whole mess.

Any thoughts on this are welcome!

The Supreme Court did not disclose its longstanding financial ties with former DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff even as it touted him as an expert who independently validated its investigation into who leaked the draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade.
