I was so satisfied with his age that I didn't even stop and think of him as black. Thanks AP.

Hopefully they keep moving up the food chain on this

Sadly, I think it ends here. When is the 1/6 commission supposed to end anyways? I thought it was November?

Under the new regulation, a retirement account fund manager or employer must continue to pledge to prioritize the interests of retirees, a longstanding requirement, but fiduciaries will now also be allowed to include factors like climate change and other ESG considerations in their analyses and decision-making processes. This will, by design, empower left-wing employers and fund managers to use retirement accounts to push leftist causes.

I don't care where investment goes as long as my money grows.

A security officer at Ukraine’s embassy in Madrid was injured when he opened a letter bomb addressed to the ambassador on Wednesday, and Kyiv ordered a bolstering of security at all its representative offices abroad.

The security officer suffered light injuries and went under his own steam to hospital for treatment, Spanish government official Mercedes Gonzalez told broadcaster Telemadrid.

In the wake of the incident, Ukrainian foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba ordered all Kyiv’s embassies abroad to “urgently” strengthen security, a ministry spokesperson said.

The minister also urged Spain to “take urgent measures to investigate the attack”, the spokesperson added. The perpetrators, he added, “will not succeed in intimidating Ukrainian diplomats or stopping their daily work on strengthening Ukraine and countering Russian aggression”.

That won't stop the cops from just taking your cash because they assume it was, is, or will be part of a crime...

Gaucho you coward.

The only thing worse than MIMH taking away our free speech, is G taking away his own free speech...SAD!

Some workers may not notice any changes to their 401(k) and other retirement options over the next year or two, but others will soon find themselves stuck choosing between a short list of ESG-focused investment funds, effectively requiring some workers wanting to take advantage of the tax benefits offered by 401(k) plans to contribute to beliefs with which they do not agree.

I'll believe this and apologize to Mr. Haskins if and when I see this happen. It's an opinion piece Tweeted as fact which is kind of just what FNC does.

My assumption is that it will be an option. Like you can choose WOKE MUTUAL FUND along with your RETIREMENT 2037, International index, and whatever other funds your 401(k) offers. No problem whatsoever.

Similar to the electric choice program where for some extra money you can designate a green energy provider. You'll pay more and it's just your share of the pot, it's not like Sharon at Duquesne Light has a switch that routes the green electrons to your home, but it's there if you want to make some statement.

Reading that back in 1973 Republicans were more pro-abortion than Democrats. Huh.

Reversing Roe on Netflix is a good documentary and includes discussion on the Republican stance. Essentially they felt like they were losing ground with the general public, so they decided to court favor from the religious nutjobs that felt like outsiders.

It was an electoral strategy to help Richard Nixon build a 270 map in '68, and became the party identity of the GOP for half a century.

Gaucho you coward.

I reflected on it and decided it was a little too forced.

I early vote at this location near my office all the time and I've never seen it this crowded mid-day.

Excellent.

That's all it is. ESG funds can be included in 401k options. Choose your own adventure.

So, same people that think the fiduciary rule is communism are complaining that this creates a sort of alternative
