Blackstone Sets Goal to Reduce Carbon Emissions

https://www.wsj.com/articles/blackstone-sets-goal-to-reduce-carbon-emissions-11601377200?mod=hp_lista_pos2

First of all I hope you can get to the article, this may be behind the WSJ paywall.  

Blackstone has to go on the record.  I can say that this new virtue signaling policy is why you should divest any equities in which Blackstone has a position.  By involving themselves in climate issues they are showing that they have become distracted and that is not in their investors interests.  They are also forcing the companies in which they invest to become in efficient in the pursuit of "lower carbon emissions".

With the rise of oligopolistic hedge funds and sovereign management funds in the equity markets we are moving into danger.  If they operate with their shareholders best interests a heart they are efficient forms of investment management; if they start to make decisions on social or ideological policy then they are a rogue elephant that endangers ultimately our prosperity.

Night Terrors

I generally try now to stay out of US politics, I have enough problems with friends and relatives here in Canada that are constantly heckling me about the Evil DJT.  You have to admit that CNN has been effective in creating a narrative that most squessy libs and lefties love.  It fits their old anti American and Canadian Superiority beliefs that most Canadians have held for years.  It is their comfort in paying higher taxes, and getting lower wages and living with a 75 cent dollar.  

This article was a tread I followed from SmallDeadAnimals, one of my favorite sites to read, enjoy.

Thanks to James Delingpole for pointing this out in his article.

The National Trust, the group that is supposed to protect those properties deemed historic, as Winston Churchill's house is, has gone crazy.  Their role is protect properties not render an opinion based on ideological virtue signalling.

As they say in german, verruckt.

You have to admit it would be a good choice to defeat the orange man bad.  Besides she can use the money, orange man would just give it away to a charity.
