It’s pretty much the same as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

The focus is almost entirely on the E of ESG; never mind the S&G.

Oil and gas companies that keep us alive are shunned out of ESG indices (because they’re bad for the E). Curious about why Meta, Snap, and other companies that profit from getting teens addicted to dopamine are included in these indices. How does that business model fit into “S”?

Inflation disrupts people’s lives in multiple ways:

1. Forces them to change jobs just to “keep up”.

2. Forces them to “invest” instead of “save”. Nothing wrong with the former, but it’s not for everyone and it shouldn’t be a “requirement”.

3. Forces them to buy hard assets as “investments”. Why not buy a home with a fixed mortgage and let the inflation take care of your debt for you?
