BlackRock CEO: Never Mind About ESG
Front Page Magazine ^

Posted on 06/26/2023 5:18:42 AM PDT by Tench_Coxe

Why are so many major companies going woke and stiffing shareholders? Because their biggest shareholders are massive funds that push wokeness under the guise of formulas like ESG.

(snip)

Fink’s latest dispatch deemphasizes ESG investing — increasingly a politically fraught topic — compared to his most recent annual letters. In fact, the term ESG does not appear anywhere in the letter.

The energy transition concerns are not raised until paragraph 18, and the word “climate” doesn’t appear until the eighth page of the lengthy letter. Even when it does, climate is only used five times.

I think we'll stop going back to sleep when we finally realize that we are in a life-or-death battle.

Our side--being the adult in the room--is slower to anger and harder to rouse.

But once we are roused, we will be difficult for the Left to deal with.

And I would say that we are getting roused

I’m a huge Trump booster. That said, I give DeSantis credit where credit is due, whereas you argue adamantly and rather insanely against that.

The great thing about FR is we learn whom to pay attention to...and you’re in the wrong column.

Well, you are not paying attention to the fact that he has aligned himself with the neocons who continually get us involved in protracted wars.

You also reject my position that the parents led this, and that DeSantis merely reacted because he realized that the base supported the uprising of the parents.

I don't think these through lightly.

I can provide you proof.

DeSantis rightly stated that Ukraine was not our problem, remember that?

Do you also remember that within 24 hours after saying that he reversed his opinion?

He did so because his handlers dressed him down for his statement, he needed to support this conflict. He fell in line very quickly.

DeSantis will not become his own man once in office. This mean that he will not try to right the wrongs of this nation, and will play ball with the Deep State. Which in turn means that the graft & corruption will continue unabated. The destruction of this nation will also continue on its current fatal course into tyranny and eventual total world wide chaos.

DeSantis is a poser, he is no person of conviction.

I've seen many on this board sing the praises of people, who later turned out to obviously not be what they had portrayed themselves to be. Elon Mush is another deceptive person who talks about freedom while embracing China.

Do you see the disconnect there?

The easy route is, and always has been, to go along with what others think. The tougher route is to think for yourself. I prefer to think for myself. If I find I came to the wrong conclusion I will public state that I came to the wrong conclusion.

We shall see how this plays out.

I give Vivek Ramaswamy lots of credit. His books over the last four years, (Woke, Incorporated and Capitalist Punishment) and his creation of the alternative fund Strive with calling out what Black Rock, State Street and Vanguard were doing in fiduciary mismanagement for the progressive agenda, all exposed these suckers.
