Good to see Biden-and Brownstein-abandoning a fixation on the “Coalition of the Ascendant” to focus on wages for non-college workers.
But how do you write this piece without even considering the contradictory wage-cutting impact of Biden importing millions of migrant workers? https://t.co/wa2WsfZN5v

Emphasis on diversity seems most obvious current ESG weak spot. But if non-DEI firms can’t outperform DEI firms (assuming they can get capital) then maybe DEI’s not so bad after all. (This argument would not apply to non-outsourcing firms-they’ll lose but that doesn’t end debate)

Suspect Krein is right that *populist* conservatism, at least, can’t be based on shareholder primacy or “profits over politics.” Will require government regulation (tho he doesn’t come out and say it) not changing corporate governance in an anti-ESG way. https://t.co/3rlmjcnu5Z
