On one hand, non-ESG companies are more efficient because they don't implement faux diversity. So I should invest in tobacco, small medium energy, utilities, coal miners.
On the other hand, Blackrock gets free government money to pump up the prices of ESG garbage. So I should invest in Blackrock's ESG ETFs because good goys will buy my bags.
>What's the profit strategy here? I think in 30 years people will make fun of us boomers for loving the ESG shit like blackrock running hollywood making them put random diversity lessons in every tv show
>Strive Asset Management seeks to take on the Big Three — BlackRock Inc., State Street Corp. and Vanguard Group Inc. — accusing them of coordinating a campaign to push political objectives that are at odds with their clients’ best interests. In essence, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink et al. decide that they want to prioritize tackling climate change or systemic racism or whatnot and then use the trillions of passive dollars they invest to force companies to prioritize that, too. Strive will do the opposite, pushing instead “excellence capitalism” — that is, nudging companies to ditch the political stuff and focus on delivering good products and services.

Invest in LED bulbs, companies will be swapping out fluorescent lights with LEDs for a bevvy of reasons (besides being objectively better) >They use half the power of fluorescent lights, and by extension produce fewer carbon emissions >They last longer so they have to be replaced less often, additionally reducing one's carbon footprint >Power companies are already offering rebates on LED bulbs

Interesting. Looks like their spectrum is also more balanced so maybe better for workers.
I bought into an ETF, ticker DRLL. Only a small position as I don't know how they will do when ESG becomes the norm. This ETF brands itself as anti-ESG.

Yeah and the strobe/flicker isn't nearly as bad.
I've been trying to get my office to make the switch by framing it as an ESG initiative, my manager said it's up to the property management company but they've already started installing them in the stairwells and in some hallways. It's one of the few ESG grifts I don't actually mind because it seems like an actual step forward.
conceding to "esg" is like declaring your "pronouns", or encouraging your son to tun into your daughter. those that bow down are doing so against their own best interests to appease those that only want control, not progress.
any company or blockchain that puts "esg" at any priority is in for death by a thousand cuts.

Too bad every fortune 500 has an ESG strategy, it's not going away
Cooper Peterson
Yeah like 10 years ago fag
t. actually works in the LED industry
Dylan Hill
Looks based but do they have a chance to make it in this world of whales ? They have become a mafia basically.
Noah Turner
and that's why the best investments over the past decade have not been anywhere in the fortune 500
Austin Harris
t. doesn't realize how many companies still use fluorescent
Daniel Davis
death by a thousand cuts is a far cry from not the most lucrative investment, do you think lockheed martin or coca cola are going away because they have diversity training seminars?
Thomas Gutierrez
The question is not about going away, the question is whether or not they will fail to deliver returns provided by alternative non-ESG investments.
Jack Wilson
there's a difference between monopolies that can eat into their own profits for the sake of misguided or dangerous ideology and companies that will never get there in the first place due to them.
Cooper Perry
That's not the point he was making
Xavier Nelson
Hey fucktards, ESG is real and will be the 1st actually use case that accelerates government and private equity into crypto 100x. Get your ducks in a row anons. October launch is set in stone. Keep an eye on Hyphen AG
John Johnson
i don't care. the point is "esg" is a universal profit sink and nothing else, the investment would be there with or without it, but with it you simply get less returns.
Gabriel Watson
Lmao your 15 years late to the party, what's your next advice. Buying Tesla?
