As #ESG investing confronts critics on both the political left and right, @JudySamuelson argues in @QuartzAtWork that companies’ own employees will end up having the most accurate take on what ESG means in practice: qz.com/2185351/esg-not-woke-… @AspenInstitute

I know the dust has already settled on Davos 2022, but I can't stop thinking about this piece by @RanaForoohar. "..business talks about curbing emissions, improving education or bolstering healthcare" but prevents gov't from actually doing those things: ft.com/content/6a53a74e-f0a6…

NYC’s recovery is a no-brainer — even for our zombie pols

New York City hasn’t done anything to make people want to come back. If we want commuters to come back to Midtown and downtown Manhattan, why not make these places nicer?

How much do I relate to this message? Grateful for the ongoing progress on mass transit in my adopted city of nearly 40 years. The change in that time is remarkable - the need for investment still great! mas.org/news/presidents-lett… #masnyc
