What you said was this: "you're 401k is not allowed to invest in companies with low social credit scores. That’s about 40 trillion dollars in us retirement accounts." The Biden thing allows 401k's to invest in that universe, if they choose to do so, but absolutely does not demand it. That would cause civil war.

Hey Buff…I have a true small business—less than 10 employees and no, I have not been approached on anything related to social credit modeling. Well, let me clarify—my retirement plan is with Vanguard and periodically I will receive marketing material dealing with this sort of thing. I have an old 401K that is in the process of being moved to a new custodian and I am concerned about that transition. I have no desire to sacrifice return in exchange for socially conscious investing, though I can see where some might.

Not sure what this means, but 401k administrators have a fiduciary responsibility to their subscribers. Guessing monetary policy has nothing to do with it.

What does it do? The poors get lower returns but are bullied into for fear of being called bigots. Meanwhile the wealthy take advantage and the wealth disparity grows. was my claim a little exaggerated? Yes. But the fact the rule exists is insane and the direction is crystal clear. But I’ve always had self directed retirement accounts. Well not always after 3-4 years of flat returns I went that route and it’s been very nice.

That, in no way, codifies a need to invest in these funds. There is no tipping in the waters on this. It would result in a revolution, and it is a nonsense claim.

You can think you're a whale, but that doesn't make you a whale. And if you think you're a whale, I don't have to also think you're a whale. Abortion laws have absolutely no impact on the risk of getting pregnant. Zero, nadda, zilch. The risk of pregnancy remains the same as it was.
