Prolly books on how to masturbate and be gender fluid.

'Natural asset companies' would empower the New York Stock Exchange, university endowments, and possibly even foreign governments to control America's natural resources. We can't allow that.

The New York Stock Exchange is opening a new front in the climate fight for control of America's natural resources: natural asset companies. And the NYSE is trying to get the Security and Exchange Commission to approve and unleash them on public investors.

It isn't easy to create a new type of company, particularly one that qualifies for listing on the largest stock exchange in the world. It's quite out of the ordinary, in fact.

The "natural asset company" designation was dreamed up by the Intrinsic Exchange Group, a small group that includes folks from various environmental and ecological backgrounds. The group's own website is somewhat sketchy about its backers, though it lists the Rockefeller Foundation, the Inter-American Development Bank, Aberdare Ventures, the NYSE, and AES Corporation co-founder and former World Wildlife Fund chairman Roger Sant among its "investors."

The idea is to allow these NACs to use their money to buy the ability to control or "manage" productive public and private land and other natural resources. Their stated purpose is not to make a profit or to be productive but rather to protect, conserve, restore, and preserve these natural "assets."

In practice, an NAC could offer money to the federal government (which owns about 30% of America's land) to manage lands that produce or cultivate food, water, timber, or energy or even those that are used for recreation. The company could then decide whether the current activity is bad for the environment and take the land out of productive use in the name of "restoration" or "conservation."

It's "environmental, social, and governance" scoring on steroids.

The next step in ESG.

[Oerdin]

The basic problem is big union and state retirement funds intentionally funnel their pension funds towards ESG ratings so companies chase ESG to secure loans and investments.  The Biden Admin changed the laws so that the fiduciary responsibility no longer applies if companies follow ESG.  That needs to immediately stop and be outlawed because it will make retirees poorer while politicians abuse retirees for political purposes.

Billionaire Chip Wilson, the founder of athletic wear brand Lululemon, believes DEI programs are actively harming the company he founded.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion programs have exploded in recent years, specifically in business, government, and academia. The stated goal of the initiatives is good: promoting fairness for everyone. But the way the programs are administered is controversial, particularly because they often promote woke, progressive ideologies to remedy perceived societal disparities.

Critics of DEI have highlighted an apparent celebration of race- and sex-based discrimination in Microsoft's annual "Diversity and Inclusion Report."

Microsoft proudly noted in the document that its black, Asian, and Hispanic employees earn more than their white counterparts. Additionally, it revealed that female employees earn more than male coworkers operating at the same level and in the same roles.

The possibility that the tech giant is openly engaging in pay discrimination against employees on the basis of their immutable characteristics has prompted condemnation along with calls for legal action.

Employees are "rewards-eligible" if they have worked for more than 90 days in the fiscal year. Such employees account for roughly 94% of Microsoft's workforce.

The document specifically states that black, Hispanic, and so-called "Latinx" employees working in the U.S. earn $1.004 for every dollar alternatively earned by a "rewards-eligible" white employee.

Asian employees, meanwhile, "earn $1.012 for every $1.000 earned by US rewards-eligible white employees with the same job title and level and considering tenure."

This apparent trend of systemic discrimination is not limited to race.

The document indicates that "as of September 2023, inside the US, women who are rewards eligible earn $1.007 total pay for every $1.000 earned by rewards-eligible employees who are men" operating at the same level with the same job title.

Microsoft appears to have been championing these pay deltas for several years. In its 2019 DEI report, the company noted, "As of September 2019, all racial and ethnic minority employees in the US combined earn $1.006 for every $1.000 earned by their white counterparts."

Companies would be wise to learn from Bud Light's Dylan Mulvaney controversy — a scandal that cost the brewing company hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue and Anheuser-Busch several billion in market value.

Doritos, however, has chosen to fall in line with the woke crowd and is likely heading toward a "Bud Light 2.0," according to Jason Whitlock.

The company recently hired trans influencer Sam Hudson, who goes by Samantha, to be its newest brand ambassador in Spain.

But Sam's sexual orientation isn't the only thing that's problematic. He also has no shortage of skeletons in his closet.

When news of his new position with Doritos went public, several disturbing posts and comments Hudson made on X have since resurfaced — one of them being his plans to dismantle the nuclear family.

"I advocate for the destruction and for the annihilation of the traditional, monogamous, nuclear family," he said in a video posted on X.

But that's not even the worst of it.

"This dude is a pedophile," says Jason, adding that Hudson has a "nasty history."

Other resurfaced posts suggest that Hudson allegedly made sexually explicit comments about underage girls and about hating female rape victims.
