Started a new position recently in the 148 range. If indeed they are damaging democracies, then said democracies should look in the mirror at their own educational system, lack of critical thinking skills, and socioeconomic conditions that renders so many to retreat to their own echo chamber, and believe in whatever some flashy computer screen tells them.
I'm in Apple - and I dont like slave labor.
Ditto Nike.
I'm into General Dynamics and Raytheon despite my not being a fan of blowing people away that many times I never met or never did anything to me.
To each his own.
I invest in legal instruments that I feel will preserve and hopefully increase purchase power. If I want to change or help the world, well by golly anyone from Meals-on-Wheels to volunteer tutoring is out there not too far from home.
I own Meta even though I do *zero* social media sites. I'm the guy who only watches DVDs and still goes to movie theaters and wants the whole texting-liking-tweeting-smartphone world to get off my lawn :)
The recent financial announcements are encouraging, though I want to see follow thru and won't add until I'm convinced of such. In the end - I feel the human race is owned, yes owned by tech and social media. They can't go without it, they preen for it, they use it to shape anything from what they eat, what they drive, how they talk, vote, have sex or live life. And that - continues to attract commerce.
So, um, yeah, if an entity has a hand in owning the human race - I'm fine investing in it. I didn't create this lifestyle, but I'm fine making a few bucks off it.
