The Greta Thunberg effect

For those of us who dont really facebook or twitter what is this saying ?

Someone writes them for her, or someone publishes them for her?

Obama sometimes wrote his own, sometimes had them written for him, but always signed off on the message.

Like most politicians, business leaders, etc.

Her father and some other person..possibly her handler are writing her social media posts. She's essentially a sock puppet for the adults that are exploiting her, which explains why she has no idea what to say when asked basic questions at live interviews that haven't been rehearsed.

If she can continue to shine a light on celebrities and companies that invest in coal, ala Roger Federer and SIEMENS, then she's doing good work.
That’s the thing, she isn’t doing anything. She’s a puppet/figurehead only.
 
Would require an enormous amount of effort.

Or an enormous amount of trust that"sustainable" investment options are actually that.

I've noticed banks are already advertising if they are environmentally responsible, so it's probably already an effective marketing tool.

Has been for quite a few years. The test is whether they are actually responsible or just "a bit more responsible".

Webs of investments are incredibly hard to track.

There have. But how much is lip service and what are they defining as ethical.

Especially since the primary driver is profits.

That comes down to owning your choice and researching the fund and it's criteria

Reality is they paid out less during the mining boom (obv), but it's like any other targeted fund. Pick real estate, currency, tech funds at the wrong time, and you take a hit too.

Fwiw my fund has offered these since the late 90's
 
A meme just scrolled by on Facebook -

Kid in Wisconsin breaks the law by open-carrying a rifle at 17. Goes into a tense situation with protesters and riots, shoots two people. He's hailed as a hero by some elements including the revolting Daisy Cousens signal-boosting the "he did nothing wrong" meme.

Thunberg wants to save our natural environment for the benefit of all people. Apparently, again according to many people including the revolting Daisy Cousens, she's a kid who should shut up and her parents are irresponsible for letting her travel the world to speak at conferences and her movement has ulterior motives and...

It's just mind-blowing.

Trump was right. He could shoot someone in Times Square and not lose votes.

Gave you a like because I saw Daisy Cousens once and she is quite sour but you are quite partisan and bias yourself.
You need to lift your game.

At least she's consistent in calling powerbrokers out. She got picked on over her appearance from certain non-Western media due to her criticism of human rights abuses and climate disregard in that part of the world.
