And in the blink of a heartbeat, a list of 200 business leaders could have been put together urging Congress to NOT certify... but no, that won’t be done.

18 Aug: NYT: ‘Climate Donors’ Flock to Biden to Counter Trump’s Fossil Fuel Money
By Lisa Friedman
Other deep-pocketed hosts associated with Climate Leaders for Biden include Nat Simons, a senior managing director of the investment firm Meritage Group, who with his wife, Laura Baxter-Simons, runs the Sea Change Foundation, a major funder of clean energy work. Lawrence H. Linden, a former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. partner who runs the Linden Trust for Conservation, is also in the group, along with ***Mark Gallogly, co-founder of the private investment firm Centerbridge Partners L.P. and his wife Elizabeth Strickler, and Nicole Systrom, founder of the Sutro Energy Group, a clean energy investment firm in San Francisco.

Looks like Wylde went to the ADL to get her list of names:
“The partnership for New York City, the business community’s leading voice, resembles a team of titans with representatives of many of the city’s largest businesses including JPMorgan Chase, Pfizer and Vornado Realty Trust.
Kathryn Wylde, 72, in charge of the group since 2001, has the ability to get almost any business leader or New York official on the phone. Her 109-person board includes Blackstone’s Stephen Schwarzman, an adviser to President Donald Trump, and Laurence Fink, CEO of BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager.”
Blackstone and BlackRock would sell out America in a heart beat if there is money to be made.

These probably aren’t business leaders of the caliber of, say, Hank Reardon or Dagny Taggart.

The companies on the list don’t look like any of them produce anything of value. They exist only to leech capital from the system.
