Back in December, I warned that the next round of fuckery the right was going to pull had to do with ESG investing. While it’s a way more complex thing than I have the ability to explain, lemme give it a shot: investing in well-governed companies that give a shit about the environment and social issues. There you go. E=Environment, S=Social, G=Governance. So, like, it’s investing in a corporation that isn’t run by shitbags, and instead by those who think climate change is gonna fuck us if we don’t do anything and who don’t treat their workers like garbage. It’s not new, but it’s taken off in the last couple of years, and now “ESG accounted for $1 of every $8 in all U.S. assets under professional management.”
