BlackRock, BNP Paribas, and Credit Suisse are among the list of firms that Texas has just issued that will now be banned from working with the state due to their hostility to the energy industry.

After almost a year of suspense that cost banks business as Texas municipal-bond issuers avoided firms whose status was unclear amid the probe, Bloomberg reports that Glenn Hegar, the Republican state comptroller, on Wednesday named the firms he will prohibit from entering into most contracts with the state and its local entities after his office found they “boycott” the fossil fuel sector.

this is how you do it. Fight with money. This may not be the death blow to them by a long shot, but now that the process is done it is much easier for other states to follow suite.

It's also great that they are named in a nice little list like that.

It's about stopping the ESG shit in it's tracks. That's how we break the framework for this back door communism.

Exactly. Sometimes it just takes one state to set the example, to get the ball rolling. If one state can give the finger to a company like Blackrock, it may just inspire other states to grow a set.

You're spot on though. People who are all and always for substantial and significant "death blows" now now now are missing the picture. That wouldn't work and would cause greater pushback.

Somehow, I don't think any of those companies will be going broke anytime soon.

Banning them won't harm them, but will help Texas energy businesses.

Banning them won't harm them,...

I disagree. That's like saying;

Removing kikes from that small Guatemalan (I think) village won't hurt them...

It does. Maybe not gravely but it opens more and more eyes which end sup being disastrous. I think this is similar.

Don't matter none at all. Every little bitchslap counts. It shows these corporations that their actions have at least some consequences, and no leftist likes pushbacks. As has been suggested, it emboldens others to do the same. If enough join in, you have a resistance movement in formation, and that scares commies bigtime.

Okay now do something that helps the citizens of Texas. Confiscate all assets of the listed.
