It’s Time to Break Up the ESG Investing Giants Like BlackRock

It does our heart good to see people pushing back against the woke leftism that is called ESG (environmental, social, and governance) investing. We always feel a bit conflicted when discussing ESG. We are NOT talking about companies, many of them in the Marcellus/Utica, that have programs and efforts underway to become ever better corporate citizens. What we are talking about is leftists forcing investors to abandon investments in fossil energy companies by using arbitrary ESG standards (that they make up and enforce). Companies that force ESG investing include the largest investment firm on the planet--BlackRock. We spotted an excellent story in the Wall Street Journal that says it's time to bust up big woke ESG companies like BlackRock by using existing anti-trust laws. Amen to that!
