Topic: Esg Boycott

The Texas Permanent School Fund officially terminated its $8.5 billion investment with BlackRock to protect the state's oil and gas economy. Separately, Planet Fitness has seen its stock price plunge following a boycott sparked by a policy allowing biological men in women's locker rooms. These events are highlighted as successful examples of non-violent civil disobedience against corporate "woke" policies.

The effectiveness of labor strikes is debated against the strategy of economic boycotts and targeted civil disobedience. It is argued that globalist corporations like BlackRock can withstand strikes, but are vulnerable to consumers moving their business to non-globalist entities. The discussion emphasizes taking back local government and school boards as a more effective path than generalized work stoppages.

Jones reports that Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegger has banned major financial firms like BlackRock and Credit Suisse from doing business with the state. The ban is a response to these firms "boycotting" the fossil fuel industry through ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) policies. Jones praises this as a significant strike back against "Globalist" financial control.
