Suicide is painless.
The great stupidification.
HSBC is closing most of its retail operations and branches in the US, and is in trouble in its biggest market (China). This announcement will just accelerate its demise.
This is where the ESG garbage has teeth.
Nine out of ten of you will freeze to death in the dark. Enjoy your new world, proles.
Climate experts = government sanctioned thieves
ESG = corporate fiduciary negligence
Time to change banks
Why not just go on a hunger strike?
It’ll save a lot of time.

Eisenhower warned us of such in his farewell address to the nation.
“Akin to, and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial-military posture, has been the technological revolution during recent decades.
In this revolution, research has become central; it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the Federal government.
Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been over shadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.
The prospect of domination of the nation’s scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.
Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.
It is the task of statesmanship to mold, to balance, and to integrate these and other forces, new and old, within the principles of our democratic system-ever aiming toward the supreme goals of our free society.”
For at least the last 30 years, you didn’t get a grant unless you hewed to the politically correct line on global warming/climate change. And here we have a professor of one of what Pournelle called the Voodoo Sciences, a “Social Scientist” (there’s no Science there), trying to tell us how we must live by government edict.
You have been pinged because of your interest in environmentalism, alarmist wackos, mainstream media doomsday hype, and other issues pertaining to global warming.

But laundering drug money is A-OK, apparently.

Back from 2012. IIRC Loretta Lynch was quoted in the article.
Oh, yeah. James Comey was made a board member of HSBC shortly after that; and before he became a high-up in the FBI.
Curious.
Funny cause if there was declining oil and gas demand, the problem as they see it would fix itself, when in reality oil and gas demand continues to climb as the global population grows there are more people who don’t want to live in a crap hole.
HSBC updates climate policy to stop funding new oil and gasTheir off springs will be saying that about "renewables" not too long from now.
As an investor, I avoid companies and funds that put social issues and climate change over running the company/fund to produce products or services that are needed by buyers in good times or bad so the company/fund has sales and profits that my investment gives me a good yield. I mainly invest in American companies as Europe, Canada and Asia have rules and agendas that are not in line with my goal of a good return and growth on my money.
Turn off their gas and electric at every location forever
including homes of the board and executives.
We need to make cuts right away to save lives and freedoms.
Freeze and walk you schmucks.
Have they located the appropriate caves for future inhabitation???
HSBC is and always has been the Premier Money Laundering Bank for Government illegalities, namely the OPIUM WARS and all other drugs now, since it’s creation, That’s why it was created in the first place.
Huh. Wonder what they wanna burn in those power plants to power all those weenie tryant-mobiles.
Wish I had a card from them so I could cancel it.
