NP! In BC the complex structure (BCI invests on behalf of several public sector pension plans) helps obscure things and shield BCI from scrutiny + pressure. Meanwhile, lots of other big pension funds (e.g. in 🇳🇴 + 🇸🇪) are way more active in divesting + excluding bad stuff. Here is 🧵 with examples…
Hey BCI + BC Public Sector Pensions Plans! In March 2022 you agreed to divest👇 from Russian firms. How about taking the next step and dropping the awful Western firms that continue business in/with 🇷🇺? Their taxes + tech fuel the Kremlin’s genocidal war on 🇺🇦!

Speaking of which, I get the impression that many large public-sector pension plans have questionable investments that do public harm, such as oil & gas, property, etc. It's a crafty way to lock in that $$$ if those employees are against a potential personal hit from divesting — if they even know.

Exactly, which is why all of this ping-pong coverage of Russia's regurgitated "Ukraine Surrender Plan" is a huge distraction. Time to get back to the #Epstein files.
