You mean fall in line with large shareholders like Blackrock and Vanguard who have majors shares in those companies.

I’m not specifically saying any particular firm, only that BODs are getting a lot of pressure to do ESG activities.

I’m also saying that, contrary to Mojo’s statement, execs aren’t simply automatons programmed to maximize their bonuses. They have pressures to deliver certain initiatives and I’m sure some feel a sense of moral obligation to push those forward.

However, the way they are talked about to the public is nothing more than window dressing. A casual observer might say “DEI” and sustainability are good for the bottom line. But that’s very different from how I’ve seen them talked about internally.

I’m not saying all of them don’t believe it’s the right thing to do…I’m sure many do. But when it comes time to show how you’re going to grow sales YoY or QoQ or forecast over forecast, I’ve never once seen any ESG initiative in the bridge. The only place I’ve ever seen them is OpEx detractors. That doesn’t usually help the bonus pool.

Those two are tied to Target, Kohls and Disney stocks as two of the top holders in each. It’s not coincidence

They are tied to pretty much every company.

Most of what these mutual fund companies are pushing for ESG is window dressing....

About 95% of the time, the only thing they usually want is a puff piece ESG PR report...

But the volume is different on their holdings. They are top holders in all these.

Vanguard is largest mutual fund company in the World. If you are a Fortune 500 company and aren't closely held, Vanguard is likely your largest (or Top 3) shareholder...

Disney's issues now have nothing to do with Vanguard pushing some nominal ESG objectives onto them. Disney has been woke/liberal for decades and their normal activities would fill up an ESG report. They can't profitably figure out streaming and how to fix ESPN....

Of course. The point is that we are accountable for our own sins and not Adam's transgressions.

We're supposed to see ourselves as individuals (I thought) but somehow too many people who profess to believe this have decided to judge the LGBTQ community as a whole based on the worst actors....and sometimes it's not even based on that. Often it's based on deranged perception that has no grounding in reality. I can't even get people to explain the basis for it. Ask them some hard questions about the "pedo/groomer gay agenda" and where they come up with this **** and they deflect and/or disappear. You think that'd be the end of it, but shamelessly they are back the next day connecting rainbow attire dots to diddling kids.

No others are a naturally occurring and non-harmful "desire," as you like to call it. You Christians did away with those when Jesus said it was okay. But y'all are free from the old laws except for this one apparently.

I'm sorry, but I'm not following. Would you care to expound?

"Libertarian": I'm a total laissez faire free market capitalist. The more competition, the better.

Target Boycotters: Yeah, same. People should know what they're supporting when they shop at Target.

"Libertarian": You bigots! Good luck finding a place to shop that shares your moral values!

Still waiting on your honest explanation on why you think this is a secret conspiracy as opposed to companies trying to squeeze pennies out of every possible market.

Link to where I called this a secret conspiracy? There doesn't have to be a conspiracy for entire industries to become ideological monoliths. Look at tech. It is all woke af. I don't think there's some internal memo going across all tech platforms saying to promote a certain agenda. They all just know to do it.

And I'd like to see the number crunching that shows any of this nonsense is profitable in any way, especially when you factor in potential boycotts.

The age of consent is arbitrary. Is it not? One millennia 13 years old is good. This millennia 18 is the number.

While I agree with our general set of standards, it is arbitrary. So pedos, folks that engage in beastiality, etc are born that way and cannot be held accountable based on huffs logic. You can hide behind arbitrary morals, another choice, but it doesn't solidify the argument that these preferences are not choices and they are simply born that way. We can hold people that do not stick to our societal standards accountable by understanding that they are making choices. If it's natural, how can you look at beastiality as illegal or immoral?

I'll say it again cause I know there is a dweeb that will take it the wrong way. No I do not endorse pedophiles or people engaged in beastiality or necrophilia. My argument holds them accountable to their choice.

The laws in the bible are just as arbitrary. They are just not subject to change unless the interpretation is changed.
