Nationalist Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 Well well well... Quote The U.S. Senate voted 50-46 to adopt a resolution to overturn a Labor Department rule making it easier for fund managers to consider environmental, social and corporate governance, or ESG, issues for investments and shareholder rights decisions, such as through proxy voting. Two Democratic senators, Joe Manchin and Jon Tester, voted with Republicans. https://www.reuters.com/business/us-senate-poised-consider-blocking-biden-esg-investment-rule-2023-03-01/ Sooo...Joe's ESG crap has been shot down in flames. Joe will veto the decision of course. That will then be on him alone. Thoughts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infidel Dog Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 (edited) The problem is a lot of the money being played with here by the globalist woke isn't actually the money managers' money. Much of it is pension money and such. It's from investments. I think I heard somewhere that Black Rock, I think it was had to pull back from ESG because investors were withdrawing funds.

Infidel Dog Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 Me too. I'm pro-choice. Except I'm not Bernie Madoff pro-choice. ESG is a fraud. It's not serving investors. It's ultimate destination is to fleece them to pay for Globalist scams on the hopeful route to ultimate power. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case, of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infidel Dog Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 Well I already gave you my first suggestion. Don't invest in Equity, Social Change, and Biden Governance. You don't appear to like that one. Feel free to ignore it then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infidel Dog Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 Absolutely. Choose to be as silly as you want. Mortgage your home if you like. But when the money's all gone and you don't actually have any of this equity you were promised or for that matter even a pension maybe you'll agree that the crooks that put you in that position didn't deserve so much choice. Like I said I'm not for Bernie Madoff style choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF that were true, you HAVE the CHOICE to invest elsewhere, SOME people UNDERSTAND that their PROFIT also depends ON MORE than the short term money in their pocket.

As I understand it that's one of the problems with ESG. People and organizations can pull their investments. I think money managers and others in on ESG want a monopoly so that you have no place to go but them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodad Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 3 hours ago, Nationalist said: OK. Question: Can you name an environmental or social government policy that's had a positive effect on the economy? The implication in this question is "no," but that seems incredibly short sighted. Corporate environmental impact is one of the classic externalities. Ex: A tannery dumps waste into a creek and destroys business and residential downstream. Voluntary or involuntary (legally imposed) prohibition of such dumping is good for the economy. Short-term inconveniences in exchange for long-term sustainability are very often good for the economy. And though less "smack you in the face" obvious, the S and G components work the same way. Workers rights-> living wages->building of the middle class is very good for the economy. Not that the economy is the end-all-be-all of life anyway.

However in this case, governmental meddling in the way people invest their money is going to produce shoddy results. Hell its already producing shoddy results.

Around the late 80s, early 90s, Rush Limbaugh informed us about a Jesse Jackson plan to raid pension funds to pay for infrastructure spending. Rush said that pension funds were the only TRUE wealth that existed and was otherwise protected. And these SAME Democrats who would not allow private Social SEcurity accounts (where each worker could actually INVEST his own FICA) have no problem with a money grab based on Woke policies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
