Shareholder Proposal Seeks Reevaluation of Exec. Incentives for EVs at GM
–News Direct–
On June 4, National Legal and Policy Center will present a shareholder proposal at the General Motors Company advocating for GMs board of directors to reevaluate the electric vehicle expansion targets included in its executive compensation packages.
The proposal, identified as Item No. 5 on the 2024 proxy ballot, argues that GMs focus on electric vehicles is misaligned with both the market demand for EVs and the economic realities the company faces.
Last month NLPC filed a proxy memo with the Securities and Exchange Commission that explains its rationale for the proposal.
GM, like many in energy-intensive sectors, has increasingly aligned its corporate strategies with a poorly substantiated, government-subsidized, and corporate media-amplified scientific consensus that carbon emissions will result in catastrophic effects to the planet, and to humans.
These scenarios are increasingly unlikely, yet the corporate media continues to portray them as the default. Supposedly, this climate crisis can only be averted if governments and consumers adopt environmentally friendly technology, such as electric vehicles, en masse.
However, electric vehicles arent good for the environment. Even with government subsidies, theyre expensive and unprofitable. Further, consumers dont want to make the switch.
Luke Perlot, Associate Director of NLPC's Corporate Integrity Project, stated, Our proposal encourages a reassessment of GMs current executive compensation incentives, which overly prioritize electric vehicle production without adequate consideration of the associated economic, environmental, and ethical risks. Instead, the company should remove these incentives and give its executive team the opportunity to pursue growth strategies without political bias.
Key Details of the Proposal:
- Misalignment with Market Realities: Despite substantial investments and executive incentives, the anticipated demand for EVs has not materialized at the projected scale. An open letter to President Biden signed by over 5,000 auto dealerships warned of lack of demand for EVs.
- Economic Viability and Subsidy Dependence: GM's profitability in the EV sector is heavily reliant on government subsidies, which are subject to political changes and could be repealed as early as 2025. Without these subsidies, the divisions path to achieving positive pre-tax earnings, currently projected for no sooner than 2025, appears increasingly precarious.
- Environmental and Ethical Challenges: The extraction and processing of rare-earth elements, crucial for these batteries, are predominantly concentrated in regions with poor environmental and labor standards. This not only leads to severe ecological damage, but also involves significant human rights abuses, including forced labor. Further, these elements are primarily processed in China, a geopolitical adversary of the United States.
Consumers still want internal combustion engine vehicles, Perlot added, and GMs competitors are making substantial investments to meet their demand. The company cannot afford to be left behind because of misguided incentives.
Founded in 1991, the National Legal and Policy Center promotes ethics in public life through research, investigation, education and legal action.

QuickBooks File Repair: Essential Steps to Restore and Protect Your Financial Data
Brandon, MB, 22nd November 2024, ZEX PR WIRE, QuickBooks file repair is often necessary when a QuickBooks company file becomes corrupted or damaged. This can happen due to various reasons, such as system crashes, large file sizes, network issues, or power outages. Corrupted files can lead to issues like missing data, error messages, or QuickBooks freezing unexpectedly, so it’s essential to address these problems quickly to maintain data integrity.
As a QuickBooks company file grows, it can become more prone to corruption and performance issues, especially in older versions of QuickBooks that may not handle large files as effectively.
If multiple users are working on the same file over a network, disruptions in network connectivity can lead to file corruption. System crashes, power outages, or abrupt QuickBooks closures can cause file damage, as data may not be saved or closed correctly.
The QuickBooks File Doctor is a free tool from Intuit that scans and repairs corrupted QuickBooks files. It addresses common issues and can resolve error messages related to data corruption, network issues, and Windows permissions.
The Rebuild Data utility within QuickBooks Desktop can fix minor data issues. This tool scans the file for errors and attempts to repair them automatically. To access it, go to “File” > “Utilities” > “Rebuild Data.”
If file size is the cause of corruption, condensing the data may help. The Condense Data utility reduces file size by summarizing older transactions, which can make the file more manageable and reduce the risk of future corruption.
If the file is significantly damaged, restoring from the most recent backup can often be the quickest solution. QuickBooks allows users to create regular backups, so if you’ve been backing up your data, you may be able to restore it without losing much information.
For severe file corruption, or when standard tools fail, contacting a QuickBooks file repair specialist may be necessary. Professional services can often repair damaged files without data loss, restoring the integrity of financial records.
QuickBooks file repair is crucial to prevent data loss and keep financial records accurate. Regularly backing up data, monitoring file size, and maintaining a stable network connection can reduce the risk of file corruption, ensuring smoother, uninterrupted use of QuickBooks.

QuickBooks SuperCondense reduces file size more drastically than standard condensing, resulting in faster load times and smoother navigation
Brandon, MB, 22nd November 2024, ZEX PR WIRE, QuickBooks SuperCondense is a specialized process used to significantly reduce the size of large QuickBooks company files, helping improve software speed and stability. Over time, QuickBooks files can become sluggish as more transactions are recorded, leading to delays, errors, or even corruption issues. A SuperCondense, which goes beyond the built-in “Condense Data” utility, can help resolve these issues by reducing file size by up to 80%.
Large file sizes can cause QuickBooks to slow down, affecting user productivity and increasing the chance of crashes. SuperCondense reduces file size more drastically than standard condensing, resulting in faster load times and smoother navigation.
Smaller files are less prone to corruption, which can occur when QuickBooks attempts to handle oversized files. SuperCondense helps protect data integrity, reducing the need for frequent repairs or data recovery.
Moving large QuickBooks files to QuickBooks Online can be challenging due to file size limits. SuperCondensing your file before migration ensures it meets size requirements, allowing for a seamless transition to the cloud.
Smaller files are easier to back up and store, reducing storage costs and simplifying data management processes.
During SuperCondense, older or inactive transactions are summarized, and unused items (like vendors or customers) are removed or archived. Unlike the regular condense process, which may only summarize old transactions, SuperCondense minimizes every aspect of the file, providing a more compact and efficient end result.
QuickBooks users can use professional services for a SuperCondense process, as it’s not included in the standard QuickBooks software. These services ensure a smooth reduction process while preserving essential data, helping businesses maximize QuickBooks performance without losing historical information.
SuperCondense is an effective way for businesses to optimize their QuickBooks files for faster, more reliable performance. By reducing file size significantly, businesses can enjoy a smoother QuickBooks experience, better data protection, and simpler cloud migration, making SuperCondense a valuable option for those dealing with large, sluggish files.
