Bloomberg used to me a good publication now its tied to hip to its founder's ideology. Him being a politician with Presidential aspirations, Bloomberg has taken a turn for worse. Divestment is not going to "clean-up" the environment. Its a tool of "do something" or virtue signaling crowd. Unfortunately, Mr. Bloomberg has a fortune to make investments in hard-science and safer power generation -- but it won't provide bang for the buck for his Political ambitions. All we are getting from this disinvestment crowd is corporate green-washing as if we do not have enough of it.

One of the hallmarks of a collapsing society is that "everything becomes a political statement". The newspaper you read is a political choice, as does the sneakers you wear, and where you eat for lunch.

  > One of the hallmarks of a collapsing society is that "everything becomes a political statement" What is this based on? Athenian democracy and Roman republicanism each thrived in hyper-political cultures. The early America was heavily political. Politicisation of culture doesn’t mean rise or decline. It means there big decisions need to be made. Big decisions need big buy-in.
