  1. Thank you. you've added real world experience to this discussion, not just random and fringe opinion. I'm in California, where DEI and ESG bureaucrats and consultants have invaded board rooms in both the public and private spheres.

  2. BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanction) is not "anti-Semitic", it is ANTI-COLONIALISM. The woke left believe the state of Israel was created by European Zionist and their European allies, as an Imperial colony in Asia Minor, or what we now call the Middle-East. I'm a Litvak Jew and this distinction is important if progress is to be made. I'm not of the opinion Israel IS a European Colony, but there are good arguments on that side, and should not be ignored. OTOH, you could say Western Europe itself is a colony of Christians who came out of Asia Minor. Works both ways.

  7. Larry Fink, CEO of Black Rock, worked for a company called Blackstone, which got its name derived from the two founders (Schwarzman and Peterson). "Schwarz" is German for "black"; "Peter", "Petros" or "Petra" for "stone". When Fink branched off, he thought of either "Black Pebble" or Black Rock", so not a nefarious name. You could have taken a moment to learn that like I did. Go clean you room.

  8. no, the $600 has always been on the books on contract work for IRS tax purposes, it triggers a 1099 form for both the big corporations hiring a contract worker/vendor and the worker. Biden admin wants more power to track the payment and receipt of that income, including gig work and side hustles.

  9. The name "Black Rock" is derived from Larry Fink's former company "Blackstone", that name was derived from its two founders Schwarzman and Peterson, which translates to "Black" and "Stone". Fink at first was going to call his new company "Black Pebble" but went with Black Rock instead.

  10. In the US RULE OF LAW the word is DUTY: Fiduciary Duty is defined by Black's Law Dictionary as “a duty of utmost good faith, trust, confidence, and candor owed by a fiduciary.
