OLYMPIA, Wash. — Editor’s note: The above video aired at an earlier date.

Twitter is the latest social media giant to pay for violations of Washington state’s campaign finance disclosure rules.

Attorney General Bob Ferguson says the company agreed to pay $100,000 for failing to maintain records related to ads that ran from 2012 through 2019, when Twitter banned political advertising.

Companies are required to maintain records about who paid for ads, when they ran, how much they cost, and the name of the candidate or measure supported or opposed.

Facebook and Google have also agreed to settlements of $200,000 each, though Ferguson filed a second lawsuit against Facebook in April.

The law requires commercial advertisers to maintain the following information regarding ads they sell so that

Australia’s banking and insurance regulator has estimated the country should be spending about $3.5bn a year to limit damage from climate-related natural disasters, warning the cost of responding to them after the fact is likely to be 11 times greater.

In a speech on Wednesday, Geoff Summerhayes, an executive board member of the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority, said the cost of pre-emptive action to avoid the impact of disasters exacerbated by the climate crisis was far cheaper than dealing with the aftermath.

Addressing the issue of rising insurance premiums in northern Australia due to an increasing number of claims caused by storms and cyclones, Summerhayes said Apra was concerned general insurance could become unaffordable or unavailable in parts of the country.

He said it heightened the need to both cut greenhouse gas emissions and increase community resilience to extreme climate events, such

A Twitter spokesperson said the resolution with Washington is “reflective of our commitment to transparency and accountability,”

In the months after Congress allocated billions of dollars to keep airline industry employees working, passenger airlines applied for shares of that money and then laid off less than 1% of their workers, until the funding ran out.

Airline contractors similarly applied for money and then laid off about 58,000 people, about 35% of their workers, a new report says.

“Contrary to congressional intent, Treasury permitted aviation contractors to lay off thousands of workers and receive full payroll support calculated based on the companies’ pre-pandemic workforce,” according to a report, released Friday by the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis.

The report, “Unnecessary Costs: How the Trump Administration Allowed Thousands of Aviation Workers to Lose Their Jobs,” was issued by the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis.

After meeting with a financial planner, my husband and I set out to pay off our credit card debt. We did it in six months, and during that time I started earning more money than ever.
Our financial planner recommended that I buy a term life insurance policy since I was only protected for $20,000 on my husband’s employer-provided policy.
He recommended $1.4 million in coverage for me, which felt high. But after accounting for our standard of living and future financial goals, I went for it.

By Bozorgmehr Sharafedin and Nerijus Adomaitis

LONDON/OSLO (Reuters) – Oil and gas is seen as a sector that offers relatively attractive pay, although average wages vary significantly from one country to another.

While workers in Norway are currently on strike over pay, they are among the highest paid in Europe, data shows, and receive double the salary of workers in Latin America. Still, they are far less well paid than Australian or American workers.

Following are details of how pay compares.

The average salary of full-time employees in oil and gas extraction, including support activities, in Norway was around 930,000 crowns, or $100,000, in 2019, according to Norway’s statistics office. The figure includes allowances and bonuses, and excludes overtime.

Norwegian workers’ union Lederne called a strike that began on Sept. 30, demanding higher wage rises this year than proposed by oil companies and equal pay and conditions for workers at

If you had told me at the end of last year’s filing season that this year’s would have been worse, I would not have believed you. No one would. Implementing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) that was passed in a whirlwind at the very end of 2018 required a herculean effort from CPAs, Enrolled Agents, and tax preparers of all kinds. Preparers said to themselves – this was the worst tax filing season ever. Preparers said to each other – this was the worst tax filing season ever. Preparers said to their clients – this was the worst tax filing season ever. Then came 2020, which will go down in history as the longest tax filing season ever. But now the longest tax filing season is coming to an end, because the extended federal income tax return filing deadline for individuals, October 15, is less than a week

Making an effort towards providing the best services during covid times, Max Life Insurance has introduced ‘Buy Now – Pay at Approval’ feature for the customer while purchasing online policies. In its continuous endeavor to strengthen customer trust, the feature that is available for policies bought online, allows customers to apply for a policy with the proposal form and a payment instruction through a digital payment method, without the actual deduction of money until the proposal is evaluated by the insurer. The actual premium deduction happens just before the policy issuance.

The feature ensures that the customer does not need to make any payment at the time of applying for the life insurance policy and the charge to the customer’s credit card happens only at the time of the insurer accepting the risk.

Reviewing data for online term sales of Max Life, it has been observed that nearly 8% of
