Could you do a video on how the pursuit of a higher ESG score led to a multi billion dollar loss in Anheuser-Busch market cap and a downgrading of their stock? And ESG linked lending too please? I think they might be related.

Is it a coincidence that you have to actively promote the most extreme left-leaning ideas to maintain a high ESG? Some people might say this is political. I am excited to see how this kind of idea plays out with Disney and Bud Light.

[@teddyj.3198]

“Extreme Left leaning ideas” (contradiction but whatever) in question: • Climate change is real • LGBTQ community has rights • Workers deserve good wages

[@yesnickcarter]

@@teddyj.3198 I’m not disagreeing with any of that. my point is that there is a way that people on the left deal with issues and way that people on the right real with issues. ESG is a plan written by leftists, to implement leftist policies, with the three things you mentioned as excuses. i would be happy to share a beer with you and explain why ESG is extreme leftism with climate change as an excuse. i will share a beer with anyone who wants to know. look at the cause and effect. did global warming cause people who want to micromanage our existence to create ESG? or did people who want to micromanage our existence invent ESG and attach global warming as an excuse. there are lots of ways to solve problems. it’s ironic that partnership between the government and private business is generally called fascism.

[@yesnickcarter]

@@teddyj.3198 you also leave out the details. it’s not like ESG is just a bullet point list of the truths you mentioned. ESG provides instructions on what companies should do, and denies them access to money if they fail to follow instructions. what about how our open borders policies relate to the number one cause of deaths among young people, as well as child trafficking? are those issues important too? how does ESG measure the way a company promotes border security? or is it that only truths that happen to also be on the democrat party platform get included in ESG considerations? these are serious questions i have. i’m not trying to win an argument. i am trying to speak the truth to power and understand reality. am i wrong?

The only ESG I care about is PROFITS. Everything else don’t matter.

[@Blaze6108]

Well, seems the free market disagrees with you. Get on with the times or be outcompeted. Also, IIRC companies with high ESG scores actually have somewhat better investment returns than the total average. The reason for this, in all likelihood, is that fulfilling ESG criteria is complex and hard, so it kind of inherently selects for companies that are more competitive.

If ESG is important, then why do we invent technology such as that allows majority of office workers to work from home today, to find companies choices to NOT use these current technologies. Through time, we advance, we become smarter, we continue to invent. These inventions are only good if they are being used. As if we are feeling guilty today, because we invented technology that removes labor and even time. Do we invent a machine to dig, to keep the shovels around forever? Do we work more today for absolutely no reason? The inefficiency of how we do things today to avoid technologies is sort of funny, and irresponsible.
