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in the EV sector is heavily reliant on government subsidies, which are subject to political changes and could be repealed as early as 2025.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.

Press Release
OPTO Miner generates $7,700 per day from diverse multi-currency mining operations
Washington, London, 13th August 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, The United States has signed an executive order for the first time to include mainstream cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple into the compliant investment scope of retirement plans like 401(k). This policy breaks the long-standing investment restrictions on cryptocurrencies in the pension sector, marking the formal entry of cryptocurrencies into the mainstream U.S. pension system and laying the institutional foundation for their long-term investment value.
Driven by policy initiatives, market focus on cryptocurrency assets is gradually shifting from short-term speculation to long-term value investing. UK-based cloud mining platform OPTO Miner has launched low-threshold, fully transparent mining contracts to help investors convert digital assets into sustainable daily returns without the need to build their own mining rigs.
Leveraging mining facilities powered by green energy and flexible contract structures, OPTO Miner has pioneered an innovative and feasible solution that addresses the investment needs of both “long-term holding” and “stable returns.”
Since its establishment in the UK in 2018, OPTO Miner has always adhered to legal and compliant operations, with complete registration qualifications and operating licenses. The platform relies on high-performance computing equipment and intelligent scheduling systems to continuously optimize energy management, effectively controlling operating costs and significantly improving mining efficiency.
For crypto asset investors seeking long-term stable returns, OPTO Miner offers a reliable solution that balances risk hedging with yield growth.
Traditional cryptocurrency mining often requires users to purchase mining equipment, configure mining pools, and conduct in-depth research on algorithms, which not only involves high technical barriers but also involves cumbersome operational processes. Now, with the launch of OPTO Miner’s cloud computing power contracts, users can embark on their mining journey with a single click without needing to master complex technologies, enjoying a simple and efficient user experience.
Automated mining, truly achieving “zero operation”
At OPTO Miner, users do not need to perform any complex settings, nor do they need to worry about coin selection or hashrate adjustments. Simply select the appropriate cloud hashrate contract, and the system will run intelligently around the clock, automatically matching the optimal mining strategy based on market conditions to help users achieve continuous and stable returns.
Multi-currency deposits and withdrawals, flexible and free
No matter which mainstream digital currency you prefer, OPTO Miner can meet your needs. The platform supports deposits and withdrawals in multiple currencies, including BTC, ETH, XRP, DOGE, SOL, LTC, BCH, USDT, USDC, and more. You can freely choose your preferred payment method based on your needs and control every step of your funds flow.
Green Energy-Powered, Eco-Friendly Mining
At OPTO Miner, mining is not just about profits—it’s also about the environment. The platform’s cloud computing infrastructure is entirely powered by renewable energy, reducing carbon emissions while ensuring stable computing power output, aligning investment with sustainable development.

OPTO Miner employs enterprise-grade security solutions, including McAfee® security protection and Cloudflare® anti-DDoS security barriers, to ensure the safety of user assets through multiple layers of technology. All revenue details, withdrawal records, and contract information can be viewed in real time on the control panel, ensuring transparency and accountability.
Daily settlement, stable returns
To help users lock in stable returns, the platform has launched a daily settlement contract model, which distributes fixed returns every 24 hours. This mechanism not only reduces the impact of market fluctuations, but also makes profit growth more sustainable and predictable.

ReactorTrade Kicks Off $REACT Token Sale Ahead of TGE as DeFi Market Cap Hits $98B
ReactorTrade, a decentralized trading platform, has begun the sale of its native $REACT token, the core utility token of the ReactorTrade ecosystem. $REACT powers all value exchange between traders, liquidity providers, strategy developers, and platform participants, acting as the gateway to governance, premium features, and incentive mechanisms. This marks the start of community distribution, well before the Token Generation Event (TGE). Unlike a TGE — which unlocks token liquidity and market trading — the current public sale phase allows early supporters to secure allocations at a discounted rate ahead of exchange listings and full ecosystem activation.
The initial distribution phase begins alongside the first phase of ReactorTrade’s public rollout — the Trade Aggregation Engine — with yield aggregation vaults scheduled for Q4 2025 and dynamic perpetuals set to follow in early 2026, forming a multi-phase product roadmap designed to steadily expand user capabilities.
DeFi Market Momentum Supports $REACT’s Public Sale
The timing coincides with a surge of interest across the DeFi sector. As of June 2025, the combined market capitalization of top DeFi tokens reached $98.4 billion, representing a 38% year-over-year surge from $71.2 billion. Across the sector, the numbers show investors are once again interested in productive, infrastructure-focused crypto assets.
According to industry data, DeFi was June’s top-performing category with a roughly 10.9% increase in total value locked, even as the broader crypto market remained flat.
Meanwhile, the Coinbase COIN50 index showed a strong increase in TVL across DeFi assets. This all but confirms sustained momentum at a time when the broader market and other sectors are showing flat or even declining trends. ReactorTrade’s token sale taps into this trend, positioning $REACT amid a DeFi upswing that is valuing utility, governance power, and yield mechanics.
More About $REACT
$REACT launches with a maximum supply based on a $30M starting fully diluted valuation (FDV), with an FDV of $100M projected at TGE. The current price of the token is $0.03, increasing to $0.10 at the TGE. $REACT will be available on BNB Chain and Base.
The global token distribution follows a deflationary supply model: for every token sold to the community, an equal token is permanently burned. The token allocation is 20% LP tokens, 25% community tokens, 5% team tokens (locked for 12 months, then vested linearly over 24 months), 20% ecosystem growth, 2% KOLs, 3% advisors, and 25% burned.
Under the burn-on-sale model, the “community tokens” share is flexible — for every token sold, an equivalent token is earned for distribution, and the undistributed portion adjusts accordingly. For example, if 35% of the supply is sold, 35% will be earned for distribution and the undistributed share will drop proportionally.
In terms of utility, $REACT acts as the core economic and governance layer for ReactorTrade. Holders can vote on protocol decisions like new market listings and feature priorities, with voting power tied to holdings or staking levels. Stakers can also earn trading fee discounts, liquidity reward multipliers, and access to event-based promotions. Token holdings will determine membership tiers, to be introduced after the first stage of the sale, offering varying bonuses and perks for participants. Certain premium features, such as early market access, advanced trading bots, exclusive analytics, and alpha/beta testing participation, are token-gated and require either a minimum holding or staking commitment. This mechanism ties token scarcity directly to platform adoption — a rarity among DeFi governance models — creating a clear link between network growth and tokenholder value.
To further widen community participation, ReactorTrade is introducing its “ConvertDrop” program, allowing early supporters and partner protocol communities to swap certain assets or stake holdings in exchange for recurring $REACT airdrops, reinforcing grassroots ownership from day one.
About ReactorTrade and the $REACT Token
ReactorTrade is a decentralized trading and yield platform combining spot trading, permissionless perpetuals, and meta-governance yield aggregation in one interface. By unifying liquidity aggregation, yield strategies, and governance, it solves a core DeFi pain point — switching between multiple tools to trade, farm, and vote. Its hybrid architecture blends aggregated AMM liquidity, on-chain order book access, and automated strategy vaults for deep liquidity, fast execution, and reduced MEV risk. Built with a community-first approach and backed by seed funding, ReactorTrade is designed for progressive decentralization, with its $REACT token powering governance, incentives, and long-term value alignment across the ecosystem.

Migaku Popular Japanese Learning App Challenges Leaders
Migaku, a Japanese learning app, uses authentic content to help learners reach fluency and supports ten languages including Japanese.
Migaku, A Popular Japanese Learning App, Challenges Industry Leaders with a Content-Based Approach to Fluency
Migaku, a Japanese learning app with roots in immersion-based study, is expanding its reach in a market dominated by platforms like Duolingo, Lingopie, Memrise, Mondly, Babbel, and Busuu. Known for helping learners progress through authentic content, the platform offers a dedicated Learn Japanese path alongside its support for other languages.
A Different Path in the Japanese Learning App Market
The Japanese learning app space has grown quickly, driven by interest in anime, business opportunities, and Japanese culture. Many well-known services such as Duolingo, Lingopie, and Memrise have made language study more accessible. Duolingo emphasizes gamified streaks, Lingopie focuses on subtitled video immersion, and Memrise builds vocabulary through spaced repetition. Each offers strengths, but all share the challenge of moving learners from basic proficiency to advanced fluency.
Migaku began as a Japanese learning app aimed at serious learners, turning Netflix shows, YouTube videos, and web pages into interactive lessons. Users can click any word for an instant definition, AI-generated explanation, and automatic flashcard creation. While Japanese remains central to its identity, the platform now supports Cantonese, Chinese, English, French, German, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, and Vietnamese, offering the same content-based approach across languages.
Balancing Engagement with Depth
In many Japanese learning apps, game elements encourage consistency but may prioritize daily activity over deep understanding. Migaku’s model combines engagement with in-context study, allowing learners to interact with the same materials native speakers consume. This helps bridge the gap between textbook language and real-world usage.
For example, Duolingo’s short drills can build recognition skills and Lingopie’s dual subtitles can support listening. Migaku integrates vocabulary management, grammar explanations, and context-specific reviews directly into the content. This places it within a smaller segment of Japanese learning apps that aim for advanced comprehension.
The Broader Competitive Landscape
Other competitors in the Japanese learning app market include:
Mondly: Offers AR and VR experiences for interactive practice.
Babbel: Focuses on conversation skills and structured lessons.
Busuu: Adds peer feedback from native speakers.
FluentU: Uses real-world videos with interactive captions.
Each contributes to the range of study options available. Industry observers note that different learners benefit from different methods. Migaku’s contribution is its emphasis on authentic content as the primary learning medium.
Looking Ahead
As the Japanese learning app market continues to expand, platforms are exploring AI, adaptive learning, and deeper integration with streaming media. Migaku is developing additional AI tools for grammar analysis and comprehension support, building on the content-based learning model that has defined its approach since launch.
About Migaku
Migaku is a language learning technology platform originally created as a Japanese learning app for immersion-based study. It now supports ten languages including Cantonese, Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, and Vietnamese. Through its browser extension and mobile applications, Migaku integrates with streaming services, websites, and e-books to provide interactive learning experiences.
