I feel like Met is constantly hitting us up for lobbyist money. Give me a stock purchase plan and then maybe I'll give you PAC money.

Why BNY Loves State Schools (Hint: It’s Not the School Spirit)
Companies like BNY and their consulting sidekicks have perfected the art of “economic development,” which mostly means convincing state and local governments that a few hundred cubicles and a ribbon‑cutting justify millions in tax incentives. McKinsey brings the playbook, BNY brings the headcount projections, and suddenly the state is handing out credits like party favors to “stimulate regional growth.”
Once the incentives are locked in, the hiring machine kicks in. States love when companies hire local graduates, and companies love it even more because those hires help them unlock annual tax credits tied to job‑creation commitments. New grads from state schools are especially attractive: they’re local, they’re eligible for incentive programs, and—let’s be honest—they’re cheaper than experienced workers. Salaries vary, but the pattern is predictable: new grads cost less, and incentive‑eligible hires cost even less to the company once the credits hit.
Who negotiates all this? At BNY, it’s typically a mix of Corporate Real Estate, Government Affairs, and Tax/Finance, working quietly behind the scenes to secure incentives without ever mentioning them to the employees whose jobs justify the credits.
And how do new grads help? Simple: every qualifying hire checks a box on the state’s incentive scorecard. The state gets “job creation.” BNY gets tax credits. And the new grads get… well, a selfie with Fabs and welcome to the Bounce House - North Campus.
$1,090,000 of CENTENE CORPORATION lobbying disclosed from Q4 of 2025.
Do we think the government has “the people’s” interest in mind? On a side note, below is a partial list of politicians transactions of just Centene stock last year alone. Interesting how they all seem shocked at the actions of health insurance company’s yet they all have skin-in-the-game of this money generating racket.

Jumpin ship?
Closing out the year with a bunch of resignations that look like GoGo house cleanning. Heads of IR, Strategy and Comms -Gov Affairs are all gone. It’s not whose tellin the story. It’s the story!!! Even chuckles can’t spin this
Update(s) - Trump China Import tariffs, the U.S. Government shutdown; and the U.S. National debt.
China -
This is a (really bad) combination for the U.S. economic-financial system (and ultimately, the stock market) if (current) trends continue.
Trump "Retaliatory" Import tariffs, the U.S. government shutdown (continues) and the U.S. National debt (continues) its' (exponential) rise.
Is the 2nd largest economy in the world.
Does (not) need any U.S. products what-so-ever (at all, including soybeans).
China has formed numerous Trade alliances with other countries (and continues, to do so) the E.U., India, South Korea, Russia, Brazil, Argentina; and the list goes on.
The U.S.-China Trade war continues to escalate, right now; it appears.
Trump (most likely) will raise the (current) China Import tariffs (by another 100% on November 1st).
The (current) China Import tariff of 30% is the rate until November 10th (as of August 25th).
Trump (most likely) will not meet Xi Jinping in November (previously planned) due to escalating Trade war tensions.
Also, on a side note.
The U.S. government shutdown appears to be headed to the (longest in U.S. history).
The U.S. economic-financial system (thus far) has (not) taken into account the (full) effect of Trump tariffs, and the (exponentially) rising U.S. National debt (currently) at $37.8 Trillion per (usdebtclock) with the price of Gold, and Silver; reflecting the (continued) devaluation of the U.S. dollar (Inflation).
U.S. National debt - U.S. Government Shutdown (Last post for those that may not understand).
Miran - New Fed Trump (Lackey) -
The Democrats should (not) budge, no matter what; leave the U.S. government shut down (Independent here).
The Trump Tax bill should (not) have been passed, which increased the (current, and rising) $37.8 Trillion U.S. National debt by another $3.74 Trillion over a 10-year period.
While taking away Medicare-Medicaid benefits from those that (actually) need them, and providing $600.0 Billion in tax breaks over a 10-year period to the wealthy.
Trump is having to replace the BLS (Bureau of Labor Statistics) chief (again).
They have background issues, and are not going to be confirmed.
FYI - Interest on the U.S. National debt (paid by the U.S. taxpayers) has now surpassed $1.05 Trillion per year (this is the Interest earned by investors financing the U.S. National debt - U.S. and foreign investors like Japan, and China; via long-term 20-30 year U.S. Treasury bonds) per usdebtclock.
No surprise here.
U.S. Government Shutdown
usdebtclock
How daft must you be…
To poke this administration. Why, why come out with this media stance now? Keep your head down and plow ahead with your plan. No need to pick a public fight. I haven’t seen a single company win from posturing like this. Apple , Boeing , NVIDIA, Microsoft…. Not a single one has come out on top. If we can bite our tongue to do business in countries with dubious human rights track records, surely we could STFU and just plow ahead silently for 3 years and 3 months more
And to what end, so we can all feel better that we have publicly signaled this.. what’s the point if we just end up getting shadow banned in the permitting and less than favorable tariff carve outs… good grief.

Unannounced Law Enforcement Visits?
Anyone heard of what’s the reason for this to happen at the office? Is it ICE?
If it’s just a re-org, why did senior management need to meet with federal ministers?
