Honest shareholder representatives (including the National Center, which employs me) have warned Coke’s directors and executives at annual shareholder meetings, in shareholder proposals and otherwise that the New Racism was no different – constitutionally, legally or morally – than the Old Racism, and that the company would suffer from their embrace of it.

Jack & Harley discriminate against white male key demographic under Big 3 pressure By Scott Shepard web posted September 23, 2024 The ESG (standing for "environmental, social and governance" – no noun included to maximize the duplicity!) movement is both appalling and appallingly powerful. Consider: it could, for a while, force anti-white race and anti-man sex discrimination on Harley-Davidson and Jack Daniel's, of all companies.

In the end, though, Fink, O’Hanley & Co. are just custodians – custodians with massive, clear fiduciary duties. Every time they force any partisan position (even if it’s just stupid, not unconstitutional), every time they rely on invalid, goal-sought research from in-the-tank “consultancies” to support false claims about what makes a company more profitable, every time they “do ESG” in pretty much any way at all, they have violated those duties.

As a result of multiple trends and life shaping events, such as the COVID pandemic, the way we live, work, and spend leisure time has been forever changed in our urbanized settlements. What initially started as an experimental venture prior to the pandemic, namely shared mobility in the form of e-bikes, e-scooters, ridehail, carshare, and an increased emphasis on integration with public transport through mobility as a service (MaaS), has only gained further strength in the post pandemic era.

FEP Hits Front Pages, Stands Out in Fight Against SEC Power Grab Posted at 13:52h in BLK, Featured, Free Enterprise Project, Legal Reform, STT Our ears have been burning in recent weeks as front-page spreads raise the chatter about the National Center for Public Policy Research’s Free Enterprise Project (FEP) and show just how effectively it has led the fight against the ESG juggernaut. As you know, while ESG stands for “environmental, social and governance,” what it means is corporations...

Giant investment houses are still infinitely partisan By Scott Shepard web posted June 24, 2024 In a recent article, Sarah Nassauer and Theo Francis, reporting on the efforts of "anti-woke" shareholder representatives, made a small error that occluded a vital fact about modern American investing: the Big Three investment houses – BlackRock, State Street and Vanguard – are so steeped in personal-policy bias throughout their operations that they have become, collectively, the greatest...

Spending other people’s money to shut down legitimate inquiries by elected officials into whether you’re breaching your fiduciary duty to those very people sure looks like plain pecuniary self-dealing to cover up an unbroken history of policy self-dealing. If that’s true, the law says the damages come out of the directors’ and executives’ own pockets. That’s the real story behind the vote totals for “anti-woke” shareholder proposals.
