Hey, yanno how Climate Change is a real thing that is tangibly, at this moment, affecting our world?

Well it turns out, the wealthy and their investment firms have been seeing the mounting evidence that oil companies have had for decades and are slowly starting to think more long-term about their portfolios in the face of rising sea levels, more extreme weather, and the myriad of ways climate crises are affecting...well. Everything. Maybe this means they invest more into sustainability, green energy, building more resilient infrastructure, or carbon offsets. Some of it, of course, is simple corporate greenwashing, but there are those that are taking this trend and packaging it into something called ESG (Environmental, Social, and corporate Governance).

Now some people would say this is predictable, even sensible. Just the good ol’ Free Market(tm) rationally responding to market forces and a changing world.

But those people would be fools! Insidious fools! For conservative sorcerers have come out with a new cursed phrase to explain this new market trend: Woke Investing.

What makes this investing “woke?” Well, much like how conservatives normally flounder when trying to define a word they stole from black people, “Woke Investing” essentially just means any kind of capital investment that they, the fossil fuel billionaire class and their sycophants, don’t personally profit from.

One of these aforementioned sycophants is Andy Puzder, conservative commentator, fellow at The Heritage Foundation, and former fast-food CEO. He calls this kind of so-called woke investing “socialism in sheep’s clothing,” further explaining in leaked audio of a closed-door meeting:

“My father's generation's challenge was the Nazis, who, by the way, were, of course, very proud socialists[citation fucking needed]. The challenge of my generation was the communists, who were, of course, very committed socialists. The challenge of your generation is ESG investing, and it's more insidious than communism or the Nazis.”(source)

You heard it here first, folks. Not investing as much in fossil fuels is more insidious than the Third Fucking Reich.

As usual, the Heritage Foundation is putting their petro-chemical donor’s money where their mouth is. Bills are being proposed to blacklist banks that don’t invest in key state industries, such as West Virginia coal or Texas oil. Fourteen states have already passed bills to restrict ESG-type investing, with Florida Governor Ron “Bullies Kids for Wearing Masks” Desantis leading the charge.

In other words, Climate Denial has reached such a point that so-called Free Market Conservatives who claim to hate big government are trying to make it illegal for banks, investment firms, and financial institutions to make any financial decisions that acknowledges Climate Change is real.

Maoists and Marxists big mad.

Few bands can claim a place in five different musical histories - hip hop, new wave, house music, funk & punk. ESG, here captured at Tier 3, NYC in 1980, definitely hold such a unique place.

“When Mrs Scroggins bought her teenage daughters – Renee, Valerie, Deborah and Marie – musical instruments in the mid-’70s, all she was doing was trying to keep them off the streets of the South Bronx. She had no idea she’d just created one of the most exciting and influential bands to come out of the music scene of ’80s New York. ESG -short for Emerald, Sapphire and Gold- distilled the black and Hispanic sounds of the city into a tight, stripped-down new genre that some people called ‘punk-funk’.”

The sisters, after the addition of their friend Tito on percussion, the band started taking part in talent shows in 1978, supported The Clash & Grandmaster Flash, played at NYC’s hottest venues, like Danceteria or Paradise Garage and ended up in Manchester, where they played the opening night of the fabled Hacienda after signing with Tony Wilson’s Factory Records, who caught them performing at Hurrah in the Upper West Side of Manhattan in 1981.

Their debut EP under the same name was recorded 3 days after they flew over from NY, produced by the legendary Mancunian producer Martin Hannett (whose portfolio included Joy Division, the Durutti Column, Magazine, John Cooper Clarke, New Order, OMD & Happy Mondays). Hannett had three minutes left on the master tape, so he had the band record "UFO”, which eventually became one of the most sampled songs in hip-hop history, since it has been sampled over 500 times by just about every hip hop producer going.

MESSAGE FROM CORPORATE: We as a company believe firmly in participating in the delusion de jour so that the ESG ratings providers keep our money flowing in so you can feed your family and put a roof over your heads. :)

@newpelmeshka смотри сколько блистеров собрали в субботу! Ещё слышал, что некоторые аптеки начали собирать на переработку флаконы от косметики. От лекарств пока не догодались собирать.

Hey Mr. Seira, are you near-sighted or far-sighted?

Your Tax Dollars are funding Sweet Baby Inc Clones │ The "Gamergate 2" C... Leftists: We are so oppressed! Government: We weren’t sure who you wanted us to harass? Leftists: Gamers, you slut! Hu-White Males in particular! Government: Yes, Sir! Ah, Ma’am. Xir? Leftists: SHUT IT AND START LICKING...

Judging by recent statements made by some of the most influential figures in finance, there may be a small glimmer of hope that the end of this “woke” nightmare is near.

Utah State Treasurer Marlo Oaks said Saturday that corporate sustainability standards, known as ESG, are part of “Satan’s plan.”

Oaks, speaking to the Salt Lake County Republican Party Convention, said programs like ESG and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were laudable pursuits — like ending world hunger and poverty — but were part of “outcomes-based systems” designed to reach a pre-determined conclusion.

“The goals have been identified. The truth has already been defined that these are the problems, and here are the solutions. The debate is over,” Oaks said.

Oaks then veered into the biblical “war in Heaven” from the Book of Revelation, calling it another “outcomes-based” effort.

“Outcomes-based governance like the U.N.’s SDGs and ESG opens the door to authoritarianism. It is Satan’s plan,” Oaks told the GOP delegates.

ESG is a framework used by companies to evaluate their approach to issues like the use of green energy, air and water pollution, diversity in hiring and gender equality. Last year, Oaks pulled about $100 million in state funds from the Blackrock investment firm because of their use of ESG in evaluating investments.
