How to evaluate competing climate offsets when buying carbon credits for a small business

I remember the first time I walked into a room where an early strategic acquisition was being discussed: there was excitement, urgency, and a surprising amount of confusion about something few founders have truly mastered before the phone rang — the cap table. If you’re a founder building with an eye toward a strategic buyer (not just VCs but corporates looking for product, talent, or market access), preparing your cap table early can make...

I write opinion pieces because ideas need force — a clear point of view, a sharp frame, a call to rethink the familiar. But strong commentary and clear factual distinction are not opposites; they're obligations that live together. If an opinion section is loud without being anchored in facts, it loses trust. If it is careful to the point of timidity, it loses its purpose. Over years of editing and publishing, I’ve learned practical ways to...

I remember the first time I learned about voter registration purges. It wasn't in a courtroom or a policy brief; it was at a kitchen table with a neighbor who'd received notice that her registration was cancelled because mail to her address was returned. She'd voted in every local election for years. The notice didn't explain how a habitual voter suddenly ceased to be one. That moment stayed with me: the idea that a single administrative glitch...

When I see a headline about a new scientific study, my first reflex isn't excitement — it's curiosity. As a reader and editor, I've learned that the real story is often in the details journalists don't always have room to print. Over the years I’ve developed a set of practical questions I ask myself to decide whether a study deserves attention, caution, or outright skepticism. Here’s the checklist I use and explain to readers so you can...

I’ve been tracking central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) for several years now, and one theme keeps coming back: they’re not just about digitizing cash at home. Increasingly, central banks see CBDCs as a strategic tool to rewire how money moves across borders. That’s a big deal. Cross-border payments remain slow, opaque, and expensive — but CBDCs could change the plumbing of the international monetary system in ways that affect...

I remember the days when the local paper arrived on my doorstep, a small ritual that tethered neighborhoods to a shared reality. It wasn't perfect—local papers missed stories, showed biases, and sometimes recycled press releases—but they created a baseline of facts communities could rely on. Today, as newsroom after newsroom folds or shrinks, those baselines are eroding. In my work at Thepostview, I see the consequences daily: gaps in basic...

I’ve been using meditation apps like Calm and Headspace for years — sometimes as a quick breathing break between meetings, sometimes as a way to sleep after a long travel day. They feel personal, private and helpful. Lately, though, those apps have become the center of a much larger conversation about privacy, data use and regulation. What was once framed as a benign wellness tool is increasingly treated like sensitive health technology, and...

I’ve been watching European regulators focus on OpenAI with particular interest — and not just because it’s one of the clearest test cases for how governments regulate fast-moving AI. When you use ChatGPT, DALL·E, or other AI-powered features in apps and services, the outcomes of these regulatory probes will shape how those products behave, what they can do, and how much transparency you get as a user.Why European regulators are paying so...

I’ve been following the slow-burning but increasingly visible tide of union activity at Amazon warehouses for years. After the surprise victory in Bessemer, Alabama in 2021 — which was later overturned — and the shock win in Staten Island in 2022, the conversation has moved from “can it happen?” to “where next, and what will it look like?” If you’re trying to understand the next wave of organizing, here are the questions I keep...

I’ve been watching the 4-day workweek debate move from niche experiments to mainstream headlines for several years now. As someone who writes about the intersection of work, policy and wellbeing, I find the question deceptively simple on the surface — Can switching to a 4-day workweek improve company productivity and employee mental health? — but layered and context-dependent underneath. I’ll walk through the evidence I’ve seen, the...
