Yes that ESG. It’s anything BUT good, to speak crudely. It’s a virtue signal for the unaware (or stupid) and a way to kill true capitalism and usher in, what they even refer to as — stakeholder capitalism.

What I was saying is that one key difference between Dem and Rep today is support and praise for ESG. Republicans do not support it because it’s a killer of biz and freedom, while dems support it because it gives centralized control, and their ground level members get to virtue signal through it, unknowingly shackling themselves.
How can you kill true capitalism when it doesn’t truly exist? How can we call it capitalism when the market is not free, the rules are not the same for everyone, and the assets (FIAT) at its core are corrupted from birth.
I am a socialist, I am a capitalist, it’s just that I see both were never given a true chance.
Think of a democracy built on broadcasting, identifying and ranking needs rather than electing people. You would have selfish needs, prefect for capitalism. You need it, for yourself, you buy it for yourself. You would have common needs, social needs, where effort can be pooled. Whoever has the best and most cost effective solution to the need wins the reward allocated by society to it, by society not some power hungry look at me assholes we have elected mostly based on their words.
We have the technology for it. Give people the tools, they will provide the data. Where do you want to spend your taxes, what services do you require by society? (Btw, fuck income tax, consumption tax only)
I struggle to find the correct few words to get the idea across…
