This is another issue that needs to be addressed and stopped. WOKE and ESG investments. The way to stop it is through the Legislative process.
This hits home to me because my local gun dealer was denied banking privileges because he was a gun dealer. Bank of America, Chase, Wells Fargo and other banks shut off his ability to bank. And if you run a business you know without banking you are finished. He couldn't even get a loan, not because of poor credit but because he sells guns. Lucky for him a small local bank stepped in and helped him. But he shouldn't have to beg just because he sells guns.
That will soon end. And no more "Social Credit Scores".
I saw that Blackrock opposed Exxon helping to build a new oil refinery in China out of concern for the environment. So a Chinese firm did the construction themselves and gained the know how to not need western oil co's anymore. The funny thing is... guess who is the largest foreign holder of stock in that Chinese co?...ESG is great. Corporations like environmental favorite Exxon Mobile get the certification, or corporate governance icon Adani Group gets the stamp of approval, but Tesla is excluded from the indexes.
The first thing the next POTUS does should be firing everyone at the SEC who was involved with pushing for reporting on ESG impact.
Not long ago the Florida State pension was with Blackrock. No longer. The State Legislature pulled the plug on those folks. New legislation will stop even local governments from investing with them.I saw that Blackrock opposed Exxon helping to build a new oil refinery in China out of concern for the environment.

Answer.... Blackrock!
MIT has fallen behind a school in India and China in engineering. MIT was the best in the world and it's 3rd now and predicted to fall further. When schools in engineering and science start to lose sight of the mission then the whole higher education system needs to be looked at.
Can anybody explain why liberals seem to be so mentally unwell?
Rowling isn’t a lefty, she’s a staunch liberal. She hates lefties. Her entire worldview is about defending the status quo from radical attackers, not upending it. Look at how she wrote the slavery of the House Elves. They don’t end slavery, they don’t free the elves, the elves like being slaves and the only difference between the ‘good’ and ‘bad’ guys is that the good guys are nice to their slaves and the bad guys are mean to them. The only one trying to end slavery(the lefty) is portrayed as a bossy, annoying, know-it-all who the normal people wish would just shut up.It's weird. JK is lefty as can be but she doesn't want to lose womens rights to trans women.... so she has to be destroyed. How ever far left they move, everyone must go that far or be cast out.
If a girl is transgendering to a boy she should be forced to use a urinal when urinating. No squatting on a commode lid.
If you are going to be a boy. Act like one, stand up and face the wall.

I wish more politicians would answer these smart alect reporters in this manner. Throw it back in their face and show how big of a hypocrite they are.BREAKING: DeSantis Shreds Martha's Vineyard For Deporting Migrants He Sent There

Just wanted to revisit this since I met a friend at lunch and talked about this. Never addressed. Swept under the rug. And the demonrat hordes just keep kicking those boots
I'm guessing Central Asian Muslim (Kazakhstan, etc.). While I'm glad they have arrested the perp, I don't see any MAGA insignia so we probably won't hear anything else about this after today's news cycle.

Liberal reporters think they are so clever until you make them look like a fool. And this person left the press conference looking like a fool.
Is the charge that the people in the business who look like you need to be the people working on the job in your neighborhood? Uh … are we trying to move past racism or toward racism?
13%’r being a 13%’r. sorry but not.
Seems likely to be more distraction. Look over here.
You think the nuts here are comparable to what you just described?What's a polite way to tell the gays to get off my side? I am an economic liberal but do not support nor agree with anything woke at all. Tired of 13% of our population (blacks) dictating to white people what they can and cannot say and expecting us to fall all over ourselves to ensure we do not "diss" them in whatever nutty way their culture operates in a world where they inundate their youth with horrendous rap lyrics while telling everyone else "they" are disrespected. They shoot each other in droves yet talk about being afraid of the police? That whole world is insane.
Then on the other side there is you nuts.
Men like me have nowhere to go, really. Nuts all the way around.
That's a fair question.You think the nuts here are comparable to what you just described?

I better not comment about this. Probably would get banned.He'll get his equity when he's put six feet under and again when he faces an even greater judge. Kid needs to go to jail as an adult or he won't make it there. My nephews would've put him down and made sure he wasn't swinging for a good long while.
Figures the coward does it like that, too. Putting his hood up and taking shots while the kid is sitting. So many cowards doing that these days.
Listen. Your aversion to right wing economics, foreign policy, and presumably to some right wing values is understandable to me. That sounds like what I grew up calling liberalism.That's a fair question.
Where I draw the line and what has driven me to the point of leaving the Democratic Party is messing with kids. I strongly and think legally we need to do everything in our power to ensure children are allowed to be children and put off all the agendas until they are grown. I was furious when the right tried to introduce Creationism into schools but that pales into comparison to the garbage the left is slipping into textbooks. The gays are particularly insidious in even inundating gaming systems with their garbage. Messing with kids is a huge deal breaker for me.
I also don't know how my liberal side became so anti-free speech? It's like the whole world has turned on its head.
I have a natural competition in me and I have fought for liberal ideals and election wins my whole life, but what am I winning now?
It really is almost an impossible time to be a white male straight family man who is a liberal.
Hardest thing in the world is for me to come to terms with every single time I hear Ron DeSantis speak I really like the guy. Terrifying to me. I've never voted for a Republican in my life. I can't imagine it. It's like my whole world is turning upside-down politically.
I absolutely love his war on wokeness.
