"The Corporate Equality Index (CEI) is the imaginary social credit score based on a company’s adherence to WOKE policies.

The Human Right Campaign (HRC), a massive international political lobbying group that dictates the CEI score, employs 39 million workers globally. George Soros and the Open Society Foundation fund the HRC directly.

The 2023 Corporate Equality Index toolkit has a point system for various woke policies. The new policy has expanded these woke policies and makes it increasingly difficult for companies to operate outside of the far-left narrative. For example, spousal and partner benefits can earn a company up to 20 possible points. An employee does not need to be legally married for their partner “regardless of sex” to receive benefits, which include surrogacy benefits, expensive IVF treatments, foster care assistance, cryopreservation, and adoption assistance.

Transgender-inclusive healthcare benefits (25 possible points) entail a full page of demands, including puberty blockers and hormone therapy for minors, and reconstructive surgical reassignment surgery (including reconstructive chest, breast, and genital procedures). Employers “MUST” offer these procedures to all employees. They must also offer at least five out of 10 “essential services,” including travel expenses, tracheal shaving, facial feminization surgery, voice modification surgery, voice therapy, and hair removal surgery.

Outreach or engagement to the broader LGBTQ+ community is worth 15 points, meaning that businesses must show they are either trying to recruit more gay employees, working with gay-friendly third parties, providing philanthropic support to at least one LGBTQ+ organization, and more. This criterion is forcing businesses to recruit other businesses into the woke agenda. Forget qualifications! As long as they’re part of the gay community, they’re hired.

The criteria for a 100 CEI score rose dramatically in just one year. Religious organizations or employers are demonized for holding true to their values. Are we really forcing employers to pay for breast augmentations and voice therapy? The most disturbing piece is that employers must now provide “gender-affirming care” procedures to the CHILDREN of their employees. If you look around, nearly every business is adhering to this agenda as the CEI social credit score has become just as important as the ESG climate social credit score."

MY COMMENT: It is my belief that Soros and the other Global Elites, are employing the Cloward-Piven Strategy, which is designed to overwhelm and strain our current economic (capitalist) system until it collapses, and thus result in a one world government. It is also my belief, that satanic forces are at work here, with the destruction of the nuclear family, and traditional western values.

The use of the CEI credit score hasn't helped Anheuser Busch, Target or Disney that I know of. I wonder if their stockholders are as clueless as the companies that are following this woke nonsense? Add in the ESG BS for "good climate" bragging rights plus $6 gets you a cup of specialty latte. Who would want to own a stock that doesn't earn good profits or give decent dividends these days under Bidenomics? Insanity!

The apparent push back against ESG, and maybe even the idea that obtaining a high CEI credit score is a worthwhile corporate endeavor, is a positive sign to me. I am glad to see that consumers are punishing those companies who policies do not align with the principles that have been the historical backbone of our nation's history.

I believe that what they say about ESG investing may be a bit of an understatement!

“We cannot state that [environmental, social and governance] investing is better performance wise than broad index-based investing,” said Buckley. “Our research indicates that ESG investing does not have any advantage over broad-based investing.”

Just take Budweiser and Target for example.

Yep, and I was happy to sell my few shares of Disney before they got into a pissing match with DeSantis over the Parental Rights law.
