Well, he did use more weasel words than usual.

He claims that BlackRock is a weapons manufacturer.
He might be the dumbest person on this board . . . and that's saying a LOT.
Too funny!

"The company's "U.S. aerospace and defense" fund has billions of dollars invested in major weapons contractors like Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Boeing, General Dynamics, and Northrop Grumman. These firms are the top recipients of Pentagon contracts, splitting $100 billion in our tax dollars among them in 2017."

Does calling people names give you a stuffy?

And has a single black person moved into Diablo?

I love Joe Biden as President because I don't have to spend hours of my life every day wondering what fustercluck our Orange Fuhrer is going to surprise us with next.

Is Biden perfect? No, but at least I know he isn't actively trying to cater to RWNJs and conservative billionaires. If Biden has a stroke tomorrow and is declared brain dead I would still vote for him over Trump next year.

Or you could vote for somebody who's not brain dead. But since DemoKKKrats only engage in binary thinking, they are unable to view the world in any other way.


Well, in the primary I very well might vote for someone else. I did last time.

However, if it comes down to braindead Biden and Trump (or DeSantis for that matter) I am going with Biden.

Can I get an Amen at the end of a political speech is too much for me. I also don't want my politicians to say let's bow our heads in prayer. Call me crazy...or an atheist.

Agreed 100%

And I'm a massive Track & Field fan but I just cant stand the post race inteview in which "All Glory Goes to God".
I'm with both of you there.

I have a pretty low opinion of the heretics who've hijacked my religion (I'm a practicing Christian, and active in my faith community). AND I'm a firm believer in the Separation of Church and State. The 1st Amendment is pretty clear that there should be no State religion. Period.

The football players who make the sign of the cross as part of their TD celebration apparently haven't read Matthew 6.

IF one belongs to a church or follows a faith because the "cool" people are doing that, it's a faith that's shallow-rooted. It's the people who remain faithful despite being persecuted and ridiculed who have true faith.

Even worse are the politicians who claim to be "Christian," but are loathe to pay decent wages to workers, or feed the hungry, or house the homeless. For them, there's Matthew 25:31-46.

IF ONLY those who claim to be "Christian" would just "Love one another," as Jesus taught, we'd probably have fewer atheists. And a lot less war & poverty.

SCOTUS outlaws the considering of race of applicants for admission.

In a 6-3 decision, the court struck down admissions plans at Harvard and the University of North Carolina, the nation's oldest private and public colleges, respectively.

Years ago I concluded economic affirmative action is a better choice. The children of black billionaires don't need affirmative action.

Surprisingly, I kind of agree. There are other ways to lift people from less fortunate backgrounds, if that's your goal.

CA already neutered this.

1. Taking tol 10% by school (not state)
2. Removing the SAT requirement
3. Holistic approach
4. Next - 'banding'?

This is ridiculous. Every single investment advisory firm has industry specific funds. It is an investment decision. When growth is slowed, i rotate some investments to defensive stocks like energy and aerospace/defense. Does my investment then make me a weapons manufacturer? If that is your point, then it's a misleading non-point. And you cannot be for strong military and protection against geopolitical developments and then besmirch Lockheed, Ratheon, Northrop, etc. Do you want us to have no military?

Plenty of arguments you can make about BlackRock, including that their ESG focus on proxy voting is misaligned with their investment decisions on the buy side resulting in greenwashing behavior by companies that's all pretty picture and no real action, or that their fiduciary duty should be to their accounts and focusing on something like ESG without evidence of ESG behavior creating better return is a breach of their fiduciary duty under the law.

But weapons manufacturer claim negates all valid criticism you may otherwise make and makes any future complaint about BlackRock from you appear to be misleading and quite honestly whacky.

So you think our military should not exist? I support each of those companies. They are no more evil than energy companies, tech companies. Why should they divest when their clients want that fund? You of course can feel free not to invest in any equity, and specifically any BlackRock fund, and put your money under the mattress.

You look like an ignorant fool the more you keep "digging" and posting about BlackRock.

BlackRock doesnt "support" any of those defense companies. They simply created an ETF.
Doesnt sound like you have any idea what an ETF is.

Shocker!

Moreover, I bet you cant find a single person that's a Board of Director of any of those defense contractors from BlackRock.

I've got $10,000 that says you cant find anyone from BlackRock on those boards.
Wanna play???

You repeatedly post LIES here.
And you dont care.

You're one of the single biggest reasons why this OT Forum is a joke.
