I watched it. More of the same nonsense.
More and more Corporations are pandering to the liberals. One reason? Because they know the young people are more liberal and see that as the future.
However it seems a bit early to do that just yet because conservatives aren’t dead yet and have lots of money to spend and invest - much more than these young people.
So other considerations for why they are doing it? Maybe the CEOs themselves believe it ... or ... maybe it is a way to show atonement for their wealth. Maybe it makes their cocktail parties go better.
They forget that a large percentage of people dont remain liberal as they get older and live real life.
We also tend to not plaster every minute of our lives all over the web. We're not of a hive mind. Just look at all the differening opinions here on FR. We also don't believe there's some kind of magical clock ticking down the time to the earth being uninhabitable which would make us very pliable and accepting of low living standards.
This is top down cram down.
The corporate CEOs are obeying their masters.
Identifying the masters is where it starts to get interesting....
The move towards pushing EVERY banking institution, investment house towards ESG scores and enforcing them as a means to loan money to businesses of any size, and to individuals at large is happening. That's a fact. It's also a fact that each and every one of us knows how to fight it and protect our own asses.
Here's another fact: the ownership of "old money" as it's consistency called in Wealth Management, an area in Financial Services I'm intimately familiar with due to being the Principal Architect responsible for the systems that generate more than 45% of our revenue - is changing. Those holding a shit ton of money today won't be in five - ten years from now. Who will be? Their "socially responsible" heirs that for some stupid, twisted reason think their SJW values should govern their investment philosophy and not "making a profit".
I frankly don't give a shit what people do with the money they've earned. I do give a shit when they try forcing their values on us through tactics like Blackrock is using and forcing onto other FSI's (Financial Service Institutions) because frankly, that shit trickles down to you and I.
If you really want to make a difference, find a financial services advisor who puts profits first and thinks all this ESG rating nonsense is just that. Let the losers lose their money. Protect your own financial ass and focus on profits.
Money makes the world go round.
