The Social Cost of Woke Capitalism Will Happen, Says SEC

Freedomist Editor October 24, 2022

SEC PUSHES AHEAD WITH THEIR VERSION OF ESG, “SOCIAL COST OF CARBON” – Despite the growing backlash to forcing leftist values on corporations through ESG, the SEC plans on using the same logic to implement a “social cost of carbon” standard on companies. The interpretation of “social cost” is to be interpreted through the lens of the DNC.

ESG backlash unlikely to derail SEC climate risk rule – www.cfodive.com
Excerpt:

CFOs at companies ranging from candy makers to missile manufacturers have tried for years to attract equity capital by adopting environmental, social and governance (ESG) best practices.

By one measure their efforts have paid off — worldwide investment in so-called sustainable mutual funds and exchange-traded funds has more than tripled since 2018 to $2.47 trillion, according to Morningstar.

ESG now faces a hostile rebranding. Critics call it “woke capitalism,” foisted on U.S. companies by a “climate cartel” of shareholder activists, asset managers and politicians.

Freedomist Editor October 19, 2022

NJ GUN LEGISLATION ATTEMPTS TO END CONCEAL CARRY IN VIOLATION OF SCOTUS –New Jersey is set to make conceal carry in the state virtually illegally. New legislation will add training requirements and insurance requirements for the few who get licenses. The bill, if passed, openly defies the basic spirit of the recent SCOTUS ruling that ended such gun control restrictions.

New Jersey Closer to Enacting Nation’s Strictest Gun Laws – www.usacarry.com
Excerpt:

On Monday, a majority of the Assembly Judiciary Committee advanced a bill that would enact some of the nation’s restricted gun laws for concealed carriers, including a new list of restricted places and requiring concealed carriers to have liability insurance.

Last Thursday, New Jersey lawmakers introduced a bill, A4769, in response to the Supreme Court striking down the ‘probable cause’ conditions needed when applying for concealed carry permits.

After reading the bill, it just seems like they are using what they can to tighten restrictions for law-abiding citizens. Nothing I read in the bill seems like it would have any effect on criminals that carry guns to do bad things.

The first statement that jumped out was the following:

“To mitigate the impact of having more people carrying guns in public places, steps must be taken to better ensure that those who exercise the right to carry are responsible, law-abiding, and appropriately trained individuals who would not…

The Justice Department on Monday recommended Steve Bannon, the right-wing radio host and ally of former President Donald Trump, be sentenced to six months in prison and fined $200,000 after he was convicted of contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena from the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol.

Federal prosecutors said in a sentencing memorandum filed in the U.S. district court in Washington that from the moment Bannon, 68, received the subpoena from the House panel in late September 2021, “he has pursued a bad-faith strategy of defiance and contempt” and still has not turned over any documents to investigators or appeared for testimony.

PayPal Says It Never Intended to Fine Users for ‘Misinformation’ – finance.yahoo.com
Excerpt:

(Bloomberg) — PayPal Holdings Inc. said it has no intention of fining customers for spreading misinformation, after attracting criticism for publishing a new user agreement outlining such a plan.

The issue gained traction over the weekend after the company published policy updates prohibiting users from using the PayPal service for activities identified by the company as “the sending, posting, or publication of any messages, content, or materials” promoting misinformation, in an Acceptable Use Policy due to kick in on Nov. 3.
