The ESG framework was set up to insulate companies from that kind of liability. An investor who uses ESG as a guideline would have a hard time suing a company who engages in this kind of behavior when they specifically chose to invest in that company because it engages in activism.
It's not just old guard vs new: there's a sort of cold war in the Dem party similar to the one that's been going on in the GOP. But while the Republican civil war has been between corrupt elite uniparty types and actual populists, the civil war in the Dem party is three-sided.
You've got the far leftists, and then two competing factions of the uniparty. One is unofficially led by the Obamas, and is committed to the same corrupt Deep State managerialism that has characterized the regime so far. The other, represented by the Clintons, the Bidens and people like Kamala Harris, is not just corrupt but totally criminal, and so brazen about it that they risk exposing and undermining the entire Deep State project.
The billions of dollars being spent on hiding the Bidens' and Clintons' dark money in Ukraine, the sheer scale of Chinese infiltration: the saner factions of the uniparty have to be aware that this is not sustainable, and it's exposed so much of the behind-the-scenes machinations that it jeopardizes their entire control network.
I genuinely think that the establishment deep-staters are allowing the extreme left and the rogue criminal elements of the party to fight it out and burn each other down in this election cycle so that they can reassert control over the party.
In reality they'll probably just reorganize and call it something else, but god damn that was fast.
Being genuine for these guys would be to admit that their entire motivation is resentment and spitefulness. That they want to make everyone in the world as miserable and self-hating as they are. That they want to destroy the very concept of happiness through hard work and building a family because the unattainability of that to them makes it in their eyes a symbol of oppression.
The weekend is over. The people on the pro-Britrsh side of this conflict actually work for a living. They'll probably show up again on Friday.
BlackRock is still one of the biggest institutional investors on the planet. They own part of everything. Half a per cent is not enough to make the determination that the whole company is Finked.
Elon is sounding more based all the time.
That depends on who owns the restaurant.
She almost lost her seat to an Islamist candidate in the most recent election, and they spent her whole victory speech heckling her. If she's going to keep running in Birmingham, she needs to try to appease them.
I can resist clicking on shorts until I see a cute doggo. I will always click on the doggo.
The Saxon has learned to hate.
When she becomes the official Dem candidate, which still hasn't happened, he'll agree to a debate with all the terms ironed out beforehand. Then their narrative will be that HD "caved" or "U -Turned" and "reluctantly agreed."
They'll keep covering for her after he crushes her in that debate, too.
Anti-Islam is not racism: it's self-preservation.
Even after Elon, people on Twitter are not the same as regular people.
Breathes there a man with soul so dead
Who never to himself hath said
"This is my own, my native land,"
Whose heart has ne'er within him burned
As home his footsteps he hath turned
From wandering on some foreign strand?
If such there breathes, go, mark him well.
For him no minstrel raptures swell.
High though his titles, proud his name,
Boundless his wealth as wish can claim,
Despite those titles, power and pelf,
The wretch, concentred all in self
And doubly dying shall go down
Into the Earth from whence he sprung
Unwept, unhonoured and unsung.
-Walter Scott
Elden Ring is ahead of all new releases from this year. I wonder why?
I'm not so sure about that, but I also don't think he's going to be the scorched-earth Revenge of the Persecuted that everyone thinks he will. He'll improve the economy. He'll do something about the border, even if it's not perfect. He'll complete the MAGA takeover of the GOP, he'll stay out of foreign wars and force the Chinese and other enemies to blink. All good things, but don't expect Andrew Jackson 2.0.
Yes it is election interference, and they will never be held properly accountable for it.
If Trump, as President, with the full weight of the executive, the courts and both houses of Congress, goes after Google, my money is still on Google.
Just calling it how it is. This enemy is probably too big for even the US government to vanquish.
Either way, most of what we've seen so far has been from the working-class North. If it's happening now in the Southeast outside of London, it's still encouraging.
Aldershot is where the UK army is headquartered. Is it possible that actual rank-and-file soldiers are involved? Because that would be . . . significant.
Fuck that. Just watch the film. Even if you think the acting and dialogue are cheesy, even if you don't really like the storyline, just from a cinematography perspective it's a beautiful film to watch.
Just watch the film, then play the game (still the best game Rockstar has ever produced).
Getting rid of politics has always been the goal of the managerial state. Just ask Tony Blair.
I watched Styx pretty regularly for years and I used to feel the same way about him. But the issue isn't that he's wrong sometimes: he's literally wrong almost all the time. And much more importantly, he refuses to acknowledge it.
For months people who actually understand polling were telling him in his chat to be careful about predicting a red wave in 22, but he kept saying it and when it didn't happen, he actually said, "most of my predictions were pretty accurate," which was flat out not true. For months he had people superchatting him and commenting on his videos telling him that the Dems were going to drop Biden and for months he kept saying they wouldn't do it. And then it happened and he hasn't even once acknowledged that he was wrong.
Those are just two examples: there are plenty more. Tarl's manner helps him come across as reasonable and rational, and that lends weight to much of what he says because he's not hyperbolic or over-the-top, but eventually you'll realize that he's still full of shit. Especially when he claims on livestreams that positive energy he projects into the world is the force that protected Trump from a bullet.
Trump is further ahead of Kamala on the polls than he was ahead of Killary in 16.
Stop listening to the controlled opposition trying to demoralize you and get your ass out to vote.
