Woke Capital Won''t Save The Planet But It Will Crash The Economy Submitted by Rupert Darwall, originally published in Real Clear Energy, Judged by BlackRock CEO Larry Finks latest letter , January 2022 might turn out to be the highwater mark of woke capitalism. Stakeholder capitalism is not woke, Fink says, because capitalism is driven by mutually beneficial relationships between businesses and their stakeholders. Hes right. What Fink describes is capitalism pure and simple, the stakeholder modifier adding nothing to the uniqueness of capitalism in harnessing competition and innovation for the benefit of all. Finks shift is more than rhetorical. Just three years ago, in his 2019 Profit and Purpose letter, Fink told CEOs that the $24 trillion of wealth Millennials expect to inherit from their Boomer parents meant that ESG (environment, social, governance) issues will be increasingly material to corporate valuations. Now Fink tells them that long-term profitability is the measure by which markets will determine their companies success, dumping the ESG valuation metrics hed previously championed.

White House, Fed Warn Omicron Might Have Serious Impact On January''s Jobs Number Get ready for a sub-zero jobs print Brian Deese, a top economic advisor to President Biden and former "global head of sustainability" at BlackRock, became the latest Biden henchman to warn that omicron might have a larger than expected impact on January''s jobs numbers when he spoke to the press on Tuesday. OMICRON EXPECTED TO IMPACT JAN. JOB NUMBERS: DEESE Of course, Deese isn''t the first Biden lacky to start priming the public (and the markets) for another huge payrolls miss. During yesterday''s White House press briefing, Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki claimed because of the surge in people calling out sick during the first half of January (when the data were being collected), the influence of omicron might have substantially alerted the headline number, potentially even causing it to go negative. The US hasn''t had a negative monthly NFP jobs print since December 2020. "Because omicron was so highly transmissible, nearly 9 million people called out sick in early January when the jobs data was being collected," Psaki told reporters. "The week the survey was taken was at the height of the omicron spike...As a result, the jobs report may show job losses, in large part because workers were out sick from omicron at a point when it was peaking." Already, a Census Survey shows that an estimated 8.75MM Americans said they were not working in early January, either because they were infected with COVID or taking care of someone else who had contracted the virus.

ESG Investing - The Great Wall Street Money Heist Authored by Lance Roberts via The Epoch Times, Wall Street is once again in the midst of a money heist from naive investors. This time in the form of woke activism called ESG. ESG refers to the Environmental, Social, and Governance risk theoretically embedded in a business. However, while ESG investing is about taking these risks into account in investment decisions, these are all the things NOT on a companys balance sheet or earnings statements. Such is the inherent problem. However, as is also the case, with the recent surge in liberal policies, woke activism, and demand for social justice, Wall Street is more than willing to sell products to fill a need. Not surprisingly, with plenty of media coverage, ESG investing has become an enormous business. Following the financial crisis, ESG funds had roughly a ZERO market share of total assets under management. Today, ESG-labelled funds in the United States exceed $16 trillion. The question is whether investors are getting what they are paying for?
