The DEI programs asset managers have pushed through ESG are directly causing customers to *correctly* question whether it’s putting their lives at risk. This is stakeholder capitalism at work, hurting shareholder returns and stakeholders simultaneously…abolish it.
Let's have a close look at Boeing and DEI!
Boeing's corporate filings with the SEC reveal that in beginning 2022, the annual bonus plan to reward CEO and executives for increasing profit for shareholders and prioritizing safety was changed to reward them if they hit DEI targets.

Large asset managers like Blackrock used the assets of everyday citizens to *force* this behavior on corporations. Now a record 78% of S&P 500 corporations tie exec comp to ESG and DEI. It’s time to put your money with an asset manager that will abolish DEI.
Absolutely, I will share ten stories with original source documentation proving that this is, in fact, how many, if not most, Fortune 100 companies consider DEI.

The embedded racism in Google’s Gemini is foundational to the entire product. This is a significantly larger business risk to Google than the Bud Light transgender issue is for Anheuser Busch. The ESG movement put in place the incentives that drove this outcome. Abolish it.
Google Gemini recommends capitalizing “Black” but not “white,” because “whiteness” is associated with “systems of power and privilege,” and because “white supremacist groups often capitalize ‘White’.”

As a board member of
@monkeDAO
, you can expect me to fight for the rights of every Monke, to work to create a community with inclusivity at its core, where we come together despite our differences, to find friendship, & build something that is really cool & long-lasting. ❤️🐵
