I'm not a "finance person", nor am I a "money man", but if anyone can reasonably and sensibly explain how investing in ESG can monitarily benefit a company, I'd really appreciate it.
I don't like to take anyone's word at face value, but from everything that I've read, it seems like throwing money at high-risk environmental start-ups, placing diversity hires in the upper echelon of your business without merit, and giving money to charity all seem like unsound business practices.
No one can and all evidence shows that it has a negative impact on company performance. Current Thing Commissars don't care about reality, they only care about power and "reimagining" our society into a socialist hellhole.
So, what I'm gathering from your statement is that any company that touts their ESG score or focuses on anything related is not fully focused on making money for themselves or their clients? As a non-business person this is truly fascinating.
It's almost as if they are paying a societal tax to the "blue hair mafia" in order to boost their public reputation. I can't imagine any sane busines person would attempt to appease the "current narrative" masses over actually making their business profitable.
It’s not intended to help in a free market sense. It’s intended to butter up naive investors and pave the way for government subsidies. Both of those options are typically last resorts for business, which is why it looks like going woke leads to going broke... when it’s actually the other way around. Straw grasping, in other words.
It is very likely that role was open for a year in order to stuff it with a non-white female. I keep in touch with colleagues at the tech behemoth I was at before leaving that anti-white, anti-male depravity factory. One has been wanting to transfer within to another team for over a year. He has to wait because they are prioritizing, "diverse candidates."
The real goal of this project is to dispossess and dispose of whites, men in particular, though I know white women who have had job offers rescinded in order to hire a diverse, (black), person. My colleague at the tech behemoth who has been waiting for over a year for a transfer because they want a diverse (ahem.. black person), who doesn't exist is Asian. He is caught in the dragnet.
It was common for very senior execs who were Asian to make speeches and give seminars about how to break the bamboo ceiling and lecture us about how the "model minority", was a myth invented by white people to divide and conquer and subjugate blacks in particular. Yes. That is true. This happened at a company wide meeting.
Needless to say the CEO of the behemoth is Asian. So, maff skills great, self awareness not so much. I suggested that he adopt the model of the Asian senior execs and complain about discrimination and the bamboo ceiling. As for me and those like me, you could imagine how it must feel to sit and be told by people who you welcomed into your country that you and your fathers who built it from nothing by risking their lives doing hard dangerous work they would never stoop to, are conniving and scheming caricatures of evil who should get to the back of the line.
Democracies never end well. Nor do empires. Multi-cultural societies have a very poor track record as well. What the ruling regime has done and is doing in America, and Europe as well, has never been done before. It isn't going to end well. If Cramer's ancestors were still around they would give him the beat down he deserves as an example to dissuade those who would be like him and to us to be like them. I'm afraid we've lost our nerve.

Great post. For the other readers, I recommend Mises.org to understand why all private banks are technically insolvent. They have a beginner section up top.
Thus, private banks are far more subject to cascading collapse when they make the wrong bets or, incur losses by the Fed’s changes in rates (which the Fed boxes itself in to do, because they otherwise can cause hyperinflation).
Our system of fractional reserve and central banking is just one more modern myth; we never needed a mercantilist cartel that could print and inflate money; and the US’ greatest historical increases in true wealth happened under the gold standard. Government monopoly on money is a plague. FRB makes it even worse.
I agree with your prognosis, but have some doubts about the diagnosis. DIE, JEDI, creamsucking NGO's, are like ticks on an elephant. The pattern of captured/regulated bank busts following exuberant privateering predates this crop of virtue signaling preeners. They are more like the feather in the cap of the Great White Whale. Mixing my metaphors, but I don't think they have captured the helm. Best coverage of the insiders I've read. Lehman Brother risk management, lol.

I really do love the exposure of these shining beacons of capitalism as the farces they are, both morally and in their exaggerated capabilities. Great work Yuri in finding these gems.
TLDR: SVB followed every Basel I, II, III rule in the book + Dodd-Frank. They were boring and invested in the Tier 1 assets that all the Fed/university/fund experts tell you to invest in as a bank. They were boring!
And it turns out those Tier 1 assets are horribly risky when maturities are mismatched and your assumption is that rates never rise. They did what the Fed wanted them to do, and didn't account for the fact that what the Fed wanted was risky in the first place.
Great synopsis! The United States of Enron imports almost everything it needs, while exporting dollars and ESG programs to pay for it. What a shock that we're going bankrupt. I wonder who will "backstop" the Fed when hyperinflation hits and their balance sheet makes SVB and Lehman Brothers losses look like pocket change?
Great article about the truths to be looked at in the future. With just a little tweaking You just described in your article the entire United States Military today.
Comrade, could you perhaps write an article explaining the various trader terms such as "bearish" to your fellow revolutionaries?
Like mRNA gene therapy, fraudulently mis-sold and then forced into the population as a vaccine for a virus that was engineered in Chinese lab to circumnavigate laws against dangerous research in other countries, the surprise is not the failure but the speed of the collapse.

The clowns seem to be running the circus.
Money printing enabled these poor business practices to let clowns honk amok. Hopefully this downturn will teach harsh lessons.
ESG occurs when the ambitious and clever sub-mediocre class capture the means of production, comrade.

It also gets them favorable interest rates from the money changers, BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street.
"reasonably and sensibly explain how investing in ESG can monitarily benefit a company"
----
It opens up access to funding from ideologically driven government agencies and global megacorporations.
Oh, so it makes you a slave to the "current thing" and gets the Feds off of your back.
It sounds like paying protection money to the mob.
Careful citizen, based on this letter I received from the FBI that sounds like something a "right wing domestic extremist" would say.
My apologies, Comrade.
I will report to the nearest re-education center immediately.
same reason a person does it, because you get paid to do it by entities richer than you.
For years to come, these ignominious twits will be written about in books and history lessons about how too much Woke results in most definite Broke.
Congratulations, you are all famous. So famous, you are infamous.....

Privatize gains and socialize losses.
No accountability for risking other people's assets means they will do it again.
Infiniti money never runs out!
This is the fall of Rome.
Great job Yuri. Thanks for naming names and shining a light on the very ones that destroyed a once great bank.

Yup, can confirm. Our company went straight to JPM and opened accounts there. I want to bank local with people I know but big boss man says nope.

it seems like just with health, it is best to do the opposite of what the experts say !

Apparently, they also gave 75 million $s to BLM and related causes last year!
