With ESG, Everyone's a Climate Activist
American Thinker ^ | 10 Oct, 2022 | Rick Fuentes

Beltway globalists that nest in and around the White House will not abandon the utopian vision of an America hardwired only to wind and solar power.

In 2019, 266 members of the influential Business Roundtable, including the world’s largest fund managers, bankers, communications carriers, even fossil-fuel companies at the risk of their own survival, signed off on a one-page statement reimagining the American corporation. It described a new paradigm of corporate social responsibility to its stakeholders, a perspective that elevates employees, contractors, and suppliers over the interests of profit-seeking shareholders whose investments underwrite a company’s financial health. It presented a woke capitalist view of the new-age company as beholden to environmental and social whims of the political elite.

The concept of stakeholder capitalism is a half-century old, dating back to the Davos manifesto in 1971. To CEOs of a progressive bent, this better kind of capitalism changes the calculus for business leaders by embracing a corporate conscience that devalues short-term shareholder profits in favor of investments aimed at resolving environmental and social issues.

Under the thumb of the United Nations and World Economic Forum, the Biden administration and corporate boardrooms across America have thrown their lot behind the practice of stakeholder capitalism. In so doing, they have put American economic and energy power in the hands of potentates and dictators and brought a sense of reality to decades-old fears of a New World Order, Bilderberg conspiracies, and global kingmakers steering nation-state economies.

Highlighting the European origins of this crusade is a manipulated Swedish teenager named Greta Thunberg, whose well-coached militancy inclines her to apocalyptic outbursts characteristic of an anxiety disorder.

I have personally seen undeserving minorities get promoted over the deserving white male.
A black chick with 10 years experience and no engineering degree get promoted ahead of a 30 year experienced white male with his PE stamp, and considered a SME.

You cannot power modern civilization on wind and solar, it cannot be done.

You are the carbon they wish to reduce.

“I think anti white male.”

Good point.

That certainly relieves the pressure on the experienced white male; when my company promoted gender-based tokens over a decade ago I reverted to the basic work hours for which I’d been hired. Did my job well, but nothing outside of the 9-5 - and nobody said anything because they did far less (openly).

Precisely what I do. There’s no ladder up to the next step for me, but I make enough, and know my job well.
My field is also quite undermanned and old.

I’m in the same position.

Increasingly I see people balk at the next rung of the ladder when there is one; the next rung for me would involve a lot more work and hours, in no way compensated by the additional pay. In cases where employees are coerced or deceived into moving up to the next rung, I see several leave the company altogether after a short time; decision makers seem to be looking at a bad local jobs market and don’t realize how many workers are willing to leave NJ for greener pastures.

If you could increase your pay 10% by increasing your hours 50%+, who would do it?
