- bryanrasmussen 4y agothat sure is pithy but as a general rule every company I've ever encountered says that their output is wealth, and some of them say that diversity is part of a strategy for achieving wealth. I would probably invest in a company whose overall strategy for achieving wealth sounds the most likely to succeed.

- pjc50 4y agoSometimes ESG is specifically asked for by investors, all the way up to BlackRock. It depends on your investment timeframes, as well. And a presumption of invincibility. Versailles was wealth-maximising until it was cancelled by the woke mob.
- throw1234651234 4y agoCalling people fighting for REAL issues "woke" is incorrect. Poverty is real and affected the majority of the population. Current woke issues do not affect the majority of the population, to say the least.

- ookdatnog 4y agoAre you implying that issues that don't affect the majority of the population aren't real issues?
- throw1234651234 4y agoI am outright stating that issues immediately affecting physical well being, e.g. starvation in France before the revolution are way more important than preferred pronouns. I am outright stating that issues affecting the majority are more important than issues not affecting the majority. If you disagree, check which production issue your PO/director prioritizes next.
- pjc50 4y agoThe remarkable thing is how issues which are easy to address - just use the pronouns, it's active effort not to - are instead blown up into huge issues that take over the legislature, because this prevents discussion of anything more material-conditions based. Anti-woke hysteria is incredibly effective. People don't want to talk about boring issues affecting the majority, they want to pile in on a target minority instead.
- throw1234651234 4y agoAgain - it's a bit more nuanced than that - adults in same bathrooms with opposite gender children. Men in women's sports, etc. The other problem people have with the "woke" crowd is that they have made it a job. The same applies to anti-woke as well. These groups are no longer out to solve the problem, they are out to perpetuate the conflict to cash in on views / reads / controversy which they actively take too far. But again, I will try to reply in a very limited manner because this argument won't be solved here. The same applied to topics that were here before the work term - climate change, religion, violent video games, etc. They paved away for career crusaders, rather than ideological ones.
