    That's wrong. Before Biden's rule change (or Trump's rule), it was much harder to consider ESG. There were many more hoops to jump through, effectively squashing it. Trump's rule basically carved out a special restriction against ESG investment but not against other kinds of investment (such as non-ESG). It created a non-neutral field against ESG and also took options away from individuals. Biden's rule change says you don't have to consider ESG, but you can if you want to, as long as it's in the best financial interest. That's a much more neutral position, as it should be.

    Trump Labor Department’s rule discouraging ESG investing in retirement plans is finalized over swell of objections

    Financial Factors in Selecting Plan Investments” will discourage 401(k) and other qualified retirement plans from offering funds from managers that consider Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors in their due diligence, those opposed to the change have stressed. The proposal establishes burdensome requirements for analysis and documentation around inclusion of ESG options, those critics say. The Labor Department currently had no such requirements for any other kinds of funds.

    The Biden administration reversed Trump’s plan and in November finalized a rule that permits retirement plans to consider ESG factors as long as they are in the best financial interest of plan participants and beneficiaries. The Department of Labor rule also provides options for workers and retirees who want to ensure the fund managers of their pensions consider climate risks and provide options to invest in sustainable businesses.

    Nazis spread rhetoric of angry Jews saying hateful things because you know... They were victims of things like pogroms so ya they gonna be pissed and say some hateful things about the race and ethnicity that mostly perpetrated those pogroms.

    I don't see a difference betweens Nazis doing that and you doing this.

    And that video is 18 years ago and that dude is dead. I'm sure 18 years ago was woke central also for you. I'm sure it was too woke in the 50s also.

    You folks don't get it. This is the core issue with all right wing politicians. They pretend to care about policy the first few months then realize owning the libs and talking about woke bs is more appealing for fundraising

    These folks don't care about policy. @AroundTheWorld is part of the problem. 20 year old videos trying own the left lol

    ...what I learned to do...
    ...because memes and things are what all the cool kids, fascists, racists and blithering idiots are into today...

    ...is to do a Google pictures search for anything that looks or sounds like some moron in somebody's basement put it together to get the real information out there to the people.

    ...you might be surprised how well that works.

    ...I can also understand why everybody's freaking out about Google and its algorithms and such.

    ...at this rate, that damned a.i. will be our overlord before Christmas.

    ...not like we're making it a hard thing to do anyway...;)

    Good news everybody!

    Vivek Ramaswamy has said he won’t let Trump get away with not participating in debates and he will hold Trump accountable!

    I don't think Vivik wants that smoke. He doesn't have the rheotrical skills and charisma to take on Trump one on one.

    Ramaswamy went to an expensive private school, then Harvard for his undergraduate and Yale for his law degree. His dad was an engineer and lawyer, his mom was a psychiatrist. While its great his parents stayed married and provided a stable environment, you can't ignore the privileges he enjoyed went beyond just a two-parent family upbringing.
