Medicare Advantage plans were intended to save money for taxpayers and to offer more flexible benefits to enrollees than Traditional Medicare. A win-win, if ever there was one. Perhaps not surprisingly, the plans have done neither as the insurance companies offering them have gamed the system to increase their profits. The taxpayers have been getting screwed as have the advantage plan participants.

Another Disadvantage To Medicare Advantage 2

Medicare Advantage plans often offer additional benefits not found in Traditional Medicare. This is a big selling point and is frequently cited by enrollees as the reason for their choice of a…

Under Arizona product liability law, a failure to warn is a distinct cause of action alongside other causes of action, such as negligence and strict liability. It is also called a “marketing defect” or an “informational defect.”

Unlike a design or manufacturing defect claim, in a failure-to-warn claim, the product may not be defective in its design or manufacture; it may be working exactly as the manufacturer intended. The liability is based on the product being unreasonably hazardous to consumers because its manufacturer failed to provide adequate safety warnings or instructions.

In this blog post, we focus on failure to…

AI is not the threat to your career. The threat is the attorney down the street, the consultant across town, or the professional sitting two floors below you who has already figured out how to make AI work for them. That person is not smarter than you. They may or may not have more experience. What they have is a willingness to adapt, and in competitive professions, that willingness is currently worth more than almost anything else on a résumé.

The conversation about AI in professional services has been dominated by fear, but that fear is largely misdirected. The model…

Arizona has enacted House Bill 2749, a new law that gives some people with first-time felony convictions a path to have their convictions treated as class 1 misdemeanors. The bill was signed by Governor Katie Hobbs on June 4, 2026, after passing through the Arizona Legislature.  

HB 2749 does not apply to every felony conviction. It creates a narrow second-chance option for certain people convicted of lower-level, non-dangerous felonies who complete their sentence, meet court requirements, and avoid later disqualifying convictions.

What Does HB 2749 Do?

HB 2749 adds a new section to Arizona law, A.R.S. § 13-604.01. Under the…

Running a flight school is not just about airplanes, instructors, students, checkrides, scheduling, maintenance, and fuel prices. It is also about compliance.

Whether a flight school operates under Part 61, Part 141, Part 142, or some combination of those regulatory frameworks, the school is operating in a highly regulated aviation environment. Each “Part” of the Federal Aviation Regulations carries its own rules, requirements, documentation expectations, FAA oversight issues, and potential consequences for getting it wrong.

For flight-school owners, the distinction between Part 61, Part 141, and Part 142 is not merely academic. It can affect:
