Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters of California claimed Wednesday that “everyone” had to start backing “ESG” considerations in investing in order to save the world.
“It’s unfortunate because it’s inevitable that everyone is going to have to participate in dealing with the environmental crisis, social activity, and of course, corporate governance and so, even if these attempts to deny or to delay are taking place, in the final analysis, we are going to have to have ESG,” Waters said during an interview with “Squawk on the Street” co-host Sara Eisen.
“So, yes, we’re paying a lot of attention to it. We’re going to fight back against these attempts to deny or destroy the whole idea of environmental, social, and governance, but we have to do it in order to save this planet,” Waters continued.
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), also known as “sustainable investing,” according to the Corporate Finance Institute, can factor in corporate policies on gun control, environmental issues, abortion or other issues in addition to or instead of strictly looking at a corporation’s profitability.
Critics of ESG pointed to crises in Sri Lanka, which banned chemical fertilizers that resulted in a 50% drop in crop yields in 2021, and Ghana, which suffered blackouts.
Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida signed legislation May 2 that prohibited state agencies and local governments from considering ESG when issuing bonds, barred banks from considering “social credit” when making loan decisions and prohibited discrimination on the basis of political, social or religious ideology.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that fiat currencies across the globe, including the U.S. Dollar, are under attack. Paper money is losing its value, translating into insane inflation and less value in our life’s savings.

One of the MOST UGLY (and may be the winner of the UGLIEST contest, but for HAG Lofgren), but certainly the most egregious individual ever to show that MUG ON THE TV. I simply HATE HER with all my might. I like SATAN more.
VILOTES EVERY OATH EVER TAKEN. Shovels money illegally to her family. INSIGHTS RIOTING. Looks like DEATH ALIVE.
And is simply the MOST USELESS being on this earth being paid by the SHEEPLE aka: AMERICANS of today.
Oh YES- this maxine black watters will, unless real justice comes to our planet, GET A LIFETIME (my hopes very short) P E N S I O N… paid by YOUR TAXES and no one will cease it and the very same pension will continue to be received long after this GLOB OF PURE EVIL is (to my JOY) DECEASED. Her family will put the dead body in the basement where it will remain as long as the checks can be received…book it, Danno!
But LOUD MOUTH MAXINE will finally GET HER DUE…in the hereafter… to God be all praise.
