A more accurate title: Business leaders urge Congress to certify a political condition going forward in which they can enjoy having their buildings seized and their movements restricted, unless they have connections.

PING!

And you could actually fertilize your garden with those, if you have one.

plenty of the “climate” mob in the list too. no surprise to see organiser, Wylde, pushing that hoax for years:

15 May 2007: ABC Australia: AFP (Agence France-Presse): Bush strives to wean US off foreign oil
And environmentalists say that new fuel economy standards urged by Mr Bush would still leave America’s cars and trucks lagging behind European, and even Chinese, standards of energy efficiency...

“President Bush has finally acted, but his plan is weak and lacks a road map to achieve energy independence while cutting global warming pollution,” Kit Batten, head of environmental policy at the Centre for American Progress, said.

Mayors and business leaders from more than 40 of the world’s biggest cities gathered in New York on Monday (local time) for a summit devoted to combating climate change and cleaning up the environment.

The meeting, which was due to be addressed by former US president Bill Clinton, was significant for US cities as “our national government hasn’t made a commitment to do anything about it,” event organiser ***KATHRYN WYLDE said.
https://amp.abc.net.au/article/2548854

29 June 2019: The Economist:

The Economist: The great divide: Can American states slow global warming on their own?
A clutch of states with Democratic governments are having a go

A Big green Apple
New York’s approach is different—both because its targets are so ambitious and because the methods for achieving them are unclear. The state was already awash with regulations and programmes to support cleaner power, such as solar and offshore wind farms. The new bill, which Andrew Cuomo, the governor, is expected to sign into law, strengthens them. It includes a binding goal to achieve 70% of electricity generation through renewables by 2030; by 2040 all power would need to be emissions-free. By 2050 the entire New York economy would need to have emissions 85% below 1990 levels. The remaining 15% would need to be offset, for instance through carbon-capture technology.

Legislators declined to get into the details, ***bestowing that task on a new “climate action council” that must create recommendations. KATHRYN WYLDE, the head of the Partnership for New York City, a business group, says she supports efforts to fight climate change but is wary of the looming practical challenge supplying enough energy to New York City when a giant nuclear plant shuts down...

A bifurcated country, in which prosperous Democratic states with hefty environmental rules go one way and Republican-leaning states go another, is not ideal. But state programmes will generate valuable know-how before the rest of the country moves, says Severin Borenstein, an economist at the University of California, Berkeley. They will also provide an example for the rest of the world to study. China accounts for nearly twice as many greenhouse-gas emissions as America. Chinese bureaucrats have dropped in on California to inspect its programme many times.

Catherine Engelbert, Commissioner, WNBA

Is that an actual business or an NBA charity? I'd try to organize a boycot, but I don't think it's possible for viewership to go any lower.

Looks like tons of law firms, plus the NBA of course!
And Pfizer, which is benefiting from COVID.

A BIDEN WIN WOULD BE AN AWARD TO CHINA FOR INVADING US USING COVID 19

Every time an American looked at an item for where it was made in it came from China. Now China’s reliance making everything was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products. When Americans hailed their leaders decision to make many of them in their country US. Their politburo worried.

Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies , as in Hong Kong, since that change in American leadership wave the American flag and present Trump’s name when doing so. All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader Donald Trump.

Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could threaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy and create defeat for that leader’s upcoming election.When they released it that was the CCP intention but it got away from them and went world wide

Americans better WISE UP/
Key swamp demons were making fortunes when they allowed US companies in a number of industries including pharma, computer; and electrical as well metal fabrication components even bicycles relocate their factories in China . To the point where China was our sole supplier. The money the CCP has now comes from US .If we play our Chinese checkers right we can really turn things around for the better not only here but in China as well.Check out this recent posting in Free Republic.com which the MSM and social venues will spike; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3890312/posts. will be stopped by Biden and hailed by Walmart http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3920123/posts

Of course, if Biden isn't certified, their Bribes they paid to him are money wasted.

Great point. These are the cronies that will be set up after the great reset. These are like the Soviet and Nazi businesses that flourished during WW2 and Cold War years.

The best way to cut the carbon farts down is to remove regulations and incentives for litigation — by changing to a loser pays system — from nuclear power development, hydropower, “renewables” and even natural gas production. But to the statist, that is unacceptable.

on the list:

Jeffrey H. Aronson, Managing Principal, ***Centerbridge Partners

Wikipedia: Jeffrey H. Aronson: In 2005, Aronson and ***Mark Gallogly, founded Centerbridge Partners L.P.; In 2006, Aronson joined the Johns Hopkins University Board of Trustees and was elected Chair of the board in 2013...

21 March 2019: The American Prospect: Beto and Friends: The blank slate that is Beto O’Rourke looks good to a Wall Street vulture capitalist.
by David Dayen
***MARK GALLOGLY, a founder and managing partner of CENTERBRIDGE PARTNERS, indicated to friends that he would support former Texas Representative Beto O’Rourke as his 2020 candidate, according to CNBC. Gallogly is enthusiastically described as an “Obama bundler” who raised at least $500,000 for the former president in 2012. Centerbridge is merely noted as an “investment firm,” with no indication of, well, what it invests in.

The answer is distressed debt, Centerbridge’s specialty. It’s a $30 billion hedge fund. Those suffering from the after-effects of its strategies would describe Centerbridge as a “vulture fund.” It scoops up debt on the cheap, and uses whatever means necessary to force the troubled company or sovereign government to pay up. Centerbridge debtors include bankrupt utility PG&E, the country of Argentina, and Puerto Rico.

Centerbridge, which concealed its Puerto Rican debt holdings through multiple shell corporations, was on the steering committee of one of the largest coalitions of debtholders, known as the Ad Hoc group, with over $4.5 billion in general obligation bonds that carry a constitutional guarantee. It also carries at least $390 million in bonds in the island’s public employee retirement system, and holds a stake in Ambac, which insures Puerto Rican debt...
The result has been a rapidly declining population, as anyone who can moves to the mainland...

That any presidential candidate would even consider taking money from one of the vulture funds who participated in the Puerto Rican carnage is unthinkable to local activists...

That prospect certainly conflicts with O’Rourke’s image of a clean-money candidate. He has rejected corporate PAC money and speaks about the toxicity of campaign financing on the political process. Then again, he did take $5400 in donations from Gallogly in 2018 for his near-miss Senate run, and over half of his $80 million haul in that race came from big donors...

Gallogly, meanwhile, sat on economic advisory boards under Obama. He’s spread around his fortune to a number of Democratic candidates in the past, including presidential hopefuls Kirsten Gillibrand, Cory Booker, and Amy Klobuchar.

Gallogly is a member of the ***PARTNERSHIP FOR NEW YORK CITY, a group that has habitually proposed tax cuts and spending cuts locally...

He also briefly considered a run for mayor of New York City in 2013, and either he or a supporter actually tested a poll question about whether voters would support someone “who was in Mitt Romney’s line of work, buying distressed companies, firing people and taking hundreds of millions for themselves.”...

Sure are alot of names of “INVESTMENT’ firms.

Apparently they didn’t listen to the small amount of campaigning that Biden did do.

He will KILL the stock market, IMO.
