From a #sustainability perspective, ESG issues r financially material even if not truly costed n our current econ models. If financial analysts, can valuate intangible assets (ex: goodwill & brand name), why not pollution, loss of livelihoods, food insecurity, water scarcity, etc
This has long been my issue w/ fixating on #esg ratings. My understanding of ESG has always been that it is merely a label for #humanrights & environmental due diligence, & a means to account for the [human & enviro] costs that capitalism treats as externalities. #HRDD
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission strikes an initial blow regarding ESG compliance by fining BNY Mellon. Very positive that enforcement of laws and rules is taking a real direction to prevent the greenwashing of investments. @ESGtransparency

I am being told that including another stimulus check is too expensive.
Fine. Tax the rich and pay for it. Billionaires added $931 billion to their net worth during the padmemic. They can afford it.
P.S. They got a $1.7 trillion tax cut. We can start there.
Rio Tinto is @ it again, knowingly destroying sacred indigenous sites w/o the community's consent

I sat down w/ @PreventableS 2 talk abt the dirty “D” - divestment - & for-profit prisons
Ultimately, it’s hard 2 see how $CXW & $GEO will be able 2 survive much longer. The outlook, like conditions w/in the facilities themselves, is rapidly deteriorating
