    If you want to invest in companies based on CME, have at it, dude. That's your right, and the government has no business trying to punish you or a company for it.

    Please answer the following question I asked earlier in this thread: Do you actually think that an entity publicly disagreeing with a governor is breaking the law?

    Poor question. Would never be able to ask a question like that in a courtroom. The answer is: neither. I supper free speech. You are using grit exact epithet the Nazis uses when the case into power and began to restrict free speech in Germany. Called those who stood up to their tyranny socialists and communists. Just like all of the right wing autocrats over the last 100 years. Very familiar tactic. Which is why it is being called out. You are really outing yourself. Most of your ilk eventually do and it is not hard to get you to.

    By the way, corporate elites and communists and socialists also have free speech in this country. The State can’t punish the message. Now, in Russia, the law allows that. I wouldn’t want my responses that I am neither or the posts on who the analysts are to confuse that. I understand in your America that they don’t have free speech. But, that isn’t America.

    It’s really unfortunate that a minority of the voters in Florida care about things like racial and gender prejudice, affordable health care, poverty, climate change, the environment, voting rights, quality education, undocumented children seeking a better life, freedom of speech and the like. I wouldn’t brag about these folks becoming ostriches as you put it.

    Good to know you realize you've won you last election in Florida. I don't begrudge you your minority opinion. I might agree with a few of them, but I guess we'll never know.

    On a personal note, my granddaughter is starting kindergarten on August 10. I thank God she will not be subjected to having your minority views on gender, sex, and CRT forced on her in the classroom over the objection of her parents and grandparents. Thank God for the Free State of Florida.

    The sad part is they'll probably do it anyway and when you get pissed at the school board meetings, doj will tag y'all as domestic terrorists. :p

    I don't like Fox News either.

    I spend plenty of time with my granddaughter so mind your own damn business.

    Tell you what though, don't try messing with our children again. There are lawful penalties in Florida for people who choose to test our resolve.

    Criticize Dear Leader and he’ll do what he can to silence you, the First Amendment be damned. Childish leader.

    Please establish which counties, teachers, schools were "messing with" any significant number of Florida pre-3 graders. DeSantis was not forthcoming . of course, but you certainly must have a number of verifiable instances to link for us. We'll await.

    The key word up their is ESG “investors”. It is their money. They own a share of the company. Do you not think that investors should have a say in how the company is run? Are you against free markets?

    If it turns out that ESG is a bad idea in terms of profitability other investors will withdraw their money and move it to places more to their liking. Again, free market.

    I am baffled how certain conservatives are willing to abandon the free market and look to big government to enforce their own cultural values. This is not unlike how communist China influences businesses. Eventually the government meddling gets so bad investors flee their investments and entrepreneurship diminishes.
