“I plan.” Second-oldest dodge in the book, after “I have no plans,” of which it is the mirror image. Plan = present intention. Present intention is no guarantee of future intention. https://t.co/xwjMN30XlH via @TODAYshow

I always figured 1 and 2 were a bit farfetched. But this measured article invokes all 3 factors, arguing that ESG was a “comorbity,” not sole cause of failure https://t.co/pOJGv9XkCe https://t.co/zYBzO5xrV6

UPDATE: There seem to be 3 arguments that Wokeism & ESG helped cause bank failures. 1) Competence–Execs were promoted for equity, not skill 2) Distraction–all that virtue took valuable energy 3) Bad ESG-style lending–why did SVB have to sell those underwater bonds anyway? https://t.co/Lr9uS4Rl0d

Didn’t Dan Kelly run for WI Supreme Court and lose by almost the same margin in 2020, before the Dobbs abortion ruling? I think he did. So maybe it’s not *all* about post-Dobbs abortion politics. (Might be about pre-Dobbs abortion politics.) https://t.co/PicjocExIx
