    ESG score. Environment, Social, and Governance score. This was created by lefty billionaires in cahoots with Wall Street. Black Rock is the most prominent. Its like extortion. The biggest investment firm in the world Black Rock is being manipulated and in turn is manipulating companies to adhere to a set of Woke guidelines. The rules are arbitrary, but they target any company that won't follow their rules with a low ESG score.

    The ESG score subjectively/politically scores every company (but mainly the ones that can further their agenda) based on their furtherance of the climate change agenda, the Woke social agenda, or leftist Government policies.

    What could possibly go wrong? Well, why is Tesla's ESG score low? Is it because Musk has been outspoken against the left's agenda recently and won't play ball?

    So for instance; Companies like Disney, that push woke sexual and social content get high ESG scores. In turn, they are recommended to State and Federal pension funds, company 401K plans, and their own ESG Funds. Billionaire leftists who believe in Socialist, authoritarian, and radical climate agendas put their money and the monies of their companies into these ESG funds.

    Companies like Old Dominion who want their company's and stock value to grow bend to the will of these creeps in order to be part of an ESG Fund. Lets say Old Dominion says no more gun, parts, supplies, or ammunition will be shipped on our trucks. Their ESG score will increase which means they are OK, then they get more investment.

    I'm not sure if this is exactly the case with Old Dominion. but I would place a bet that something like this is working here.

    The other possibility is that Old Dominion wants to expand and borrow some money from these ESG shysters. Ooops! "No loan without a better ESG score and BTW here's how you can improve your ESG score Old Dominion."

    Here is another problem, Biden is trying to reduce ammo supply for 223/556, 30% of the market.

    Oh, I see, they are pushing more restrictions on shipping firearms. I means the costs will go up, I get it. I'm more worried if they do this for ammunition, but these regulations also represent an infringement. The left will just never quit.

    I don't know why anyone is questioning this?

    We already know BATFE is revoking FFL's of high volume dealers. We already know that AG Garland can, will and has used the DoJ bully pulpit for political purposes. We also know former AG Holder wrote the playbookbook on financial guerilla warfare.

    It doesn't matter whether the vehicle they're driving is some FINCEN star chamber or this new "ESG" scoring system. This is Operation Chokepoint 2.0, whether you believe it or not.
    What if this whole crusade's a charade?
    And behind it all there's a price to be paid
    For the blood which we dine

    Because I have multiple reasons to distrust the source.

    All I asked for is some other source to confirm it is actually happening.

    What are you questioning? The Freightwaves article is fairly clear.

    It isn’t ESG.

    Besides, only citizens should be presumed innocent until proven guilty. Governments with long, sordid histories of crimes and bad faith acts, should be judged based on their bad history. If they’ve done it before, never held anyone accountable and never renounced the practice, you should assume they’ll do it again if given the chance.

    The only thing definitive I saw was a claim by LaRue.

    Within days of the letter from Senators being sent out, multiple carriers communicated to employees that they no longer will transport firearms or components.

    It looks like UPS is taking it a step further:
