Yep your (personal/corporate) ESG score is a direct predictor of your ability to swallow. It's also going to be a great controlling factor until society/economy breaks and it will be yet another failed policy. But trillions will be thrown down that hole way before it's over. I've actually been looking at anti-ESG mutual funds that invest in oil, natural gas, and other natural resource extractive industries as a hedge to all this green stuff. But I also invest in the ESG companies at the end of the year because all those ESG companies need to rebalance their targets so they can report 'See We are Green' in the prospectus. Yes, I'll sell them in january for the pop.

There's been thousands of books and videos and movies about this because it is true.
