Florida's Ron DeSantis puts wokester banking and Chinese-style social credit systems in the crosshairs

DeSantis is so good at this sort of thing one wonders if he's an artist.

Florida's governor, Ron DeSantis, is starting to look like an artist right now. A sculptor perhaps, a bas relief sculptor, yet one whose lacy carvings cut all the way through.

Because against the great marble wall of woke which forms the establishment, he's carving out something else for Floridians, and it's a thing of beauty:

According to Crankers, cited by news aggregator Whatfinger:

Ron DeSantis continues his war on the woke. Slamming ESG as an “elite-driven phenomenon” that seeks to impose policies that would otherwise “never win favor” with the public, Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has recently announced proposed legislation designed to end “ESG woke banking” in the state.

During the press conference, DeSantis said that ESG, or environmental, social, and governance standards, are a “mechanism to inject political ideology into investment decisions, corporate governance, and really just the everyday economy.” By withdrawing government support from banks that use it and creating protections for citizens, the government’s plan aims to eliminate its influence in the state.

That apparently includes this, too, according to the Free Press of Tampa:

On Monday, the Florida Republican announced he would work to prohibit financial firms that operate in the state from using “social credit scores” to evaluate customers.

I believe Desantis enjoys a lot more power leeward in the executive branch than alot of other governors of other states. The Texas Governor is a prime example. And then...there are the pussies who just want to get along.

But I’m betting the left is already planning a major attack on him.

Good. If he wants to run in 2024 or 2028, he may as well get used to the attacks. They come with the territory. Part of the qualification for POTUS has to do with being able to defend/fight back against smears.

The reason I chose to move down here in 2021, ultimately, was because DeSantis issued an executive order banning vaccine passports. I had already started seriously considering it since January 6.
