Racketeering with moral pretensions - very well said.

Concur. Perhaps the best phrasing of the several I might have picked from this essay.

Great connecting of the dots ... or should we instead call it "blood spatter" from the wounds being inflicted upon our society??

So, it all boils down to the cost of acquiring corporate credit. Do, hire, say the ‘right’ shibboleths, get a pat-on-the-head, and move to the front of the line.

The gatekeepers of the above scheme are the same activist orgs that brought us (here in the colonies at least) ‘don’t ask don’t tell,’ gay marriage,’ ‘believe children,’ ‘gender-affirming’ care, and out in the open ‘cis-normative’ discrimination.

With a thuggish Black Rock and assisting NGO's on one side, and a group of 21 state AG law enforcement officers on the other, what is a poor put upon underpaid CEO to do but punt down the middle to the best of his (or her) ability.

Maybe the answer is for the BODs to only hire/select transgender POC's as CEO's so they are suitably indemnified from social justice abuse. Being a former crew member on the Greenpeace ship or involved with renewables in some way can only add to their applicability.

In the US: if there are approximately 2 million transgender persons (0.6% of 300+M) and 13% of the overall population are classifiable as POCs, this gives us up to 26,000 possible candidates to fill some 400 to 2000 CEO positions within our larger corporate citizens? Promoting from within their respective DEI officer cohort might be the solution for some of them. Of course, WEF or other globalist non-US apparatchiks should not be ignored if they apply as well.

Isn't this an implementation of the tyrannical measure described in Revelations 13, where no one is allowed to buy or sell without swearing allegiance to the Antichrist, and showing proof of having done so (the "mark of the Beast")? It's the technique of racketeering, yes, but racketeering is normally done for money, which is not the purpose here. ESG's goal is to force certain political, and indeed religious, commitments as a precondition of doing business; whether the ESG funds profit from their actions is a secondary concern.
