Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/elizabeth-warren" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elizabeth Warren</a> (D-MA) doesn&#8217;t have &#8220;any doubt&#8221; that President Joe Biden has the authority to cancel student debt.
Appearing on NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Meet the Press&#8221; on Sunday, Warren told host Chuck Todd that Biden had the authority since former Presidents <a href="https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/issues/education/higher-education/ensuring-that-student-loans-are-affordable" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barack Obama</a> and <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamminsky/2020/10/11/trump-includes-student-loan-forgiveness-in-latest-stimulus-proposal-signaling-its-broad-appeal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> forgave some debt during their tenure. Warren then lashed out at the Texas judge who ruled that canceling debts was illegal, claiming that loan forgiveness was evidence that Democrats fight for working Americans.
&#8220;Look, I&#8217;d be delighted to codify what the president is doing, but here&#8217;s the key: I don&#8217;t have any doubt that the president has the legal authority to cancel this student loan debt,&#8221; said Warren. &#8220;President Trump did it, President Obama did it, and President Biden has actually done it up to now on student loan debt payments. But, we have a court down in Texas, and if they&#8217;re gonna play politics instead of actually following the law, they do put the program at risk.&#8221;
&#8220;This is one of the clearest differences between Democrats and Republicans,&#8221; she added. &#8220;Democrats, led by Joe Biden, are out there saying, &#8216;we hear you on what it&#8217;s like to get crushed by student loan debt. We know what that means and so we&#8217;re here to try to help.&#8217; The Republicans? They got nothin&#8217;. They say, &#8216;nope,&#8217; the only people that they&#8217;re willing to fight for are billionaires and billionaire corporations and conspiracy theorists. Democrats fight for working people and when we fight for working people, we win.&#8221;

On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman of the Northern District of Texas <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-federal-court-declares-bidens-student-loan-bailout-is-illegal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">declared Biden&#8217;s student loan bailout unlawful</a> and vacated Biden&#8217;s plan to cancel up to $10,000 in debt for people making less than $125,000 a year or families that earn less than $250,000.
“Whether the Program constitutes good public policy is not the role of this Court to determine,&#8221; Pittman wrote in his ruling. &#8220;Still, no one can plausibly deny that it is either one of the largest delegations of legislative power to the executive branch, or one of the largest exercises of legislative power without congressional authority in the history of the United States.”
“In this country, we are not ruled by an all-powerful executive with a pen and a phone,” Pittman continued. “Instead, we are ruled by a Constitution that provides for three distinct and independent branches of government. As President James Madison warned, ‘[t]he accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.’&#8221;
The Biden administration has since <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-doubles-down-on-student-loan-cancellation-despite-federal-ruling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appealed</a> that ruling.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/visa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Visa</a> announced Saturday that the world’s largest payment processing corporation will begin separately categorizing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/guns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">firearm</a> purchases at gun stores.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/gun-control" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gun control</a> activists have encouraged the decision, claiming it will allow for easier tracking of gun sales and help prevent mass shootings, the Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/article/gun-violence-shootings-new-york-city-politics-4aae50c67e40f9683f604a8683acc391" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Second Amendment proponents, however, see the move as a dangerous encroachment on legal firearm sales.
“The (industry&#8217;s) decision to create a firearm specific code is nothing more than a capitulation to anti-gun politicians and activists bent on eroding the rights of law-abiding Americans one transaction at a time,” said National Rifle Association spokesman Lars Dalseide.
Visa’s decision will allow banks to make decisions with enhanced information on whether they will allow purchases at gun shops on their cards. The move could also cause other corporations like Mastercard and American Express to adopt a similar policy, the AP reported. The payment processing company, however, claimed that it will continue to “protect” the legal selling and purchasing of goods on its network.
“Following ISO’s decision to establish a new merchant category code, Visa will proceed with next steps, while ensuring we protect all legal commerce on the Visa network in accordance with our long-standing rules,” Visa said in a statement.
Earlier this week leftist Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said credit card companies have an obligation to work harder toward stopping mass shootings.
“Credit card companies like @Visa, @Mastercard, and @AmericanExpress can and should do more to help stop mass shootings,” Warren tweeted. “[Rep. Madeleine Dean] and I are urging these companies to step up and help identify suspicious purchases to prevent gun violence.”

The two lawmakers authored a letter, which was signed by more than 12 other Democrats, urging credit card companies to more closely track gun sales. &#8220;The creation of a new [merchant category code] for gun and ammunition retail stores would be the first step towards facilitating the collection of valuable financial data that could help law enforcement in countering the financing of terrorism efforts,&#8221; the letter read.

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) mocked Massachusetts Democratic senator and former presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren after a new book <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2022/08/12/ali-vitali-running-as-a-woman-in-2020-00051244">claimed</a> that following her third-place finish in the 2020 Iowa Caucus, she complained, “Everyone comes up to me and says, ‘I would vote for you, if you had a penis.’”
NBC News correspondent Ali Vitali states in her new book, “Electable: Why America Hasn&#8217;t Put a Woman in the White House … Yet,” that Warren complained to her on a plane following the Iowa caucuses.
Cruz ridiculed Warren on Saturday at the seventh annual Basque Fry in Gardnerville, Nevada, as he said, “We need courage responding to crazy town. I don’t know if you saw it this week: Elizabeth Warren told reporters that a guy came up to her and said, &#8216;I would have voted for you if only you had a penis.’”
“Now let me say two things about that,” Cruz declared. “Number one: That story is a lie. Produce this fictional person ’cause this human being does not exist.”
Referencing Warren’s infamous past assertion that she had Cherokee blood when a DNA test later <a href="https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1051899620643749888?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">revealed</a> her to be between 1/64th and 1/1,024th Native American, Cruz asserted of Warren’s supposed claim in Vitali&#8217;s book, “That is not even 1/1024 true.”
In 1986, Warren claimed she was “American Indian” on a registration card for the State Bar of Texas.

Cruz segued to the current agenda of the Democratic Party as he quipped about Warren&#8217;s penis story: “But number two: In today&#8217;s Democrat Party, how do we know she doesn&#8217;t? &#8230; How could you possibly know? ‘My name is Elizabeth, call me Bob, this is my beer.’”
He added in an aside that referred to transgender University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas, who dominated women in NCAA events, “By the way, most Americans know this is ridiculous. Lia Thomas is a dude. He looks like Michael Phelps and has arms longer than anyone else.”

After the news of Warren’s DNA results broke, Cherokee Nation Secretary of State Chuck Hoskin Jr. issued this <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/411521-cherokee-nation-warrens-use-of-dna-test-inappropriate-wrong/">statement</a>: “Using a DNA test to lay claim to any connection to the Cherokee Nation or any tribal nation, even vaguely, is inappropriate and wrong. It makes a mockery out of DNA tests and its legitimate uses while also dishonoring legitimate tribal governments and their citizens, whose ancestors are well documented and whose heritage is proven.”
Rebecca Nagle, an indigenous writer, echoed, “No native tribe acknowledges DNA testing as a source for citizenship or even claim to native heritage. She comes from a well-documented line of white people and so there is ample evidence that all of her ancestors are documented white people on the census rolls, by their marriage and birth and death certificates since going back before the Trail of Tears.”

Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/elizabeth-warren">Elizabeth Warren</a> (D-MA) blamed her failed <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/2020-election" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2020 presidential bid</a> on the fact that she was born without a male appendage, according to a new book.
NBC News correspondent Ali Vitali is out with a new book, &#8220;Electable: Why America Hasn’t Put a Woman in the White House … Yet.&#8221; Based on <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2022/08/12/ali-vitali-running-as-a-woman-in-2020-00051244" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an excerpt</a> from the book in Politico, Warren and some in her campaign believe that one of the reasons is because Iowa&#8217;s Democratic voting base is filled with a bunch of sexists.
Vitali, who followed Warren along during the 2020 Iowa primary campaign, recounted that after the caucus was over, she discussed the campaign with Warren and why she did not do as well as she had hoped.
&#8220;We’d talked about the dynamics of Iowa, her competitors and the pressure she put on herself not &#8216;to screw this up,'&#8221; Vitali wrote.
&#8220;Everyone comes up to me and says, ‘I would vote for you, if you had a penis,'&#8221; she claimed Warren said.
Vitali also revealed that a Warren campaign organizer was dismayed by the response she received from a &#8220;60-year-old white woman with a peace sign in her front yard.&#8221; Upon seeing that the organizer was there on behalf of Warren, the elderly lady said, “Oh, sweetie, this country will never have a woman president.”
“I lost it,” the unnamed individual told Vitali. “But that was the vibe. Women and men alike, both as explicitly as that but also implicitly, would just say, ‘Look, I think it’s great what you’re doing … but America — it’s just not gonna happen.'&#8221;
The NBC reporter also reported that during the 2020 campaign, it had been reported that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) — the man who Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) once <a href="https://townhall.com/tipsheet/timothymeads/2019/10/31/aoc-says-she-didnt-know-she-had-inherent-value-as-a-human-until-she-heard-bernie-sanders-name-n2555681">claimed</a> helped her recognize her &#8220;inherent value&#8221; as a human — didn&#8217;t think a woman could win the election.
For his part, Sanders rejected the notion, saying it was “ludicrous to believe that at the same meeting where Elizabeth Warren told me she was going to run for president, I would tell her that a woman couldn’t win.”
But Warren maintained, &#8220;Among the topics that came up [at dinner] was what would happen if Democrats nominated a female candidate. I thought a woman could win; he disagreed.&#8221;
Vitali also revealed that former secretary of state and twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton also believed that Sanders was a sexist. After one debate, Warren accused Sanders of calling her a liar on national TV after he denied saying a woman couldn&#8217;t win.
&#8220;I believed her, because I know Sanders, and I know the kind of things that he says about women and to women,” Clinton told Vitali. “So, I thought that she was telling an accurate version of the conversation they’d had.&#8221;
In March 2020, just one month after the Iowa primary, Warren dropped out of the presidential race.

Democratic lawmakers on Monday urged a probe of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/cryptocurrency">cryptocurrency</a> companies’ mining activities and their impact on <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/climate-change">climate change</a>.
Cryptocurrencies are “mined” as computers operate “proof of work” algorithms that solve complicated mathematical problems, thereby earning new tokens. According to the <a href="https://www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/2022.07.15%20Letter%20to%20EPA%20and%20DOE%20Re%20Cryptomining%20Environmental%20Impacts.pdf">letter</a> — signed by Sen. <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/elizabeth-warren">Elizabeth Warren</a> (D-MA), Rep. <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/rashida-tlaib">Rashida Tlaib</a> (D-MI), and other lawmakers — the amount of power used to procure the coins now rivals the total annual energy usage of countries like Norway or Sweden, and may surpass the reductions in greenhouse gas emissions ascribed to electric cars.
The letter urges Energy Secretary <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jennifer-granholm">Jennifer Granholm</a> and Environmental Protection Agency (<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/environmental-protection-agency-epa">EPA</a>) Administrator Michael Regan to “require emissions and energy use reporting by cryptominers.”
“State and federal regulators currently know little about the scope of the problem. There is no national or state reporting requirement or compilation of the locations of cryptomining facilities in the United States, and no federal regulations specifically governing cryptomining,” the lawmakers explained. “Consequently, policymakers and the public do not have a comprehensive source of information about where these operations are located, how much energy they consume, and what their sources of energy are — and without the energy use and source reporting, there is a subsequent lack of data regarding the associated air emissions of pollutants or carbon dioxide.”
The letter was sent after many cryptocurrencies — <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/what-exactly-is-bitcoin-heres-how-the-worlds-largest-cryptocurrency-actually-works">decentralized digital money</a> that can be transferred between users’ virtual wallets — recently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bitcoin-plunges-below-20000-mark-as-crypto-freefall-continues">plummeted</a> in price. The exchange rate of <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/bitcoin">Bitcoin</a>, for instance, fell from around $48,400 at the end of December to roughly $21,600 as of Monday. Exchange platform Coinbase is <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/crypto-winter-coinbase-to-lay-off-nearly-one-fifth-of-staff">preparing</a> to lay off 18% of its workforce, while the founders of cryptocurrency venture fund 3AC have been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bankrupt-crypto-entrepreneurs-nowhere-to-be-found-after-investors-come-knocking">nowhere to be found</a> as their company defaults on hundreds of millions in loans.
The lawmakers reached out to seven cryptocurrency companies in the United States, leading them to conclude that “cryptominers are large energy users that account for a significant — and rapidly growing — amount of carbon emissions.” Invoking the Clean Air Act, the letter urges the agencies to require energy consumption reports from entities mining the currencies.
“This collected data would enable valuable public policy activities, including better monitoring of energy use and trends, better evidence basis for policy making, improved data for national mitigation analyses, better abilities for evaluating technology policies for the sector, and better modeling of national and regional grid loads and transitions,” the lawmakers said.
Cryptocurrencies are particularly popular among younger Americans. The 2022 Investopedia Financial Literacy Survey showed that 28% of Millennials — those between the ages of 26 and 41 — expect to use the digital coins to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gen-z-millennials-are-relying-on-crypto-for-their-retirements">support themselves</a> in their retirements. Nearly 20% of Gen Z — those between 18 and 25 — said the same.
Warren has also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/warren-asks-biden-administration-to-crack-down-on-cryptocurrencies">called</a> for a crackdown on the cryptocurrency sector due to a purported lack of regulation in the marketplace.
“I have become increasingly concerned about the dangers cryptocurrencies pose to investors, consumers, and the environment in the absence of sufficient regulation in the United States,” she wrote to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen last summer. “However, as the demand for cryptocurrencies continues to grow and these assets become more embedded in our financial system, the Council must determine whether these trends raise concerns beyond investor and consumer protection and extend to broader systemic vulnerabilities that could threaten financial stability.”

Americans are used to multibillionaires like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and Michael Bloomberg favoring progressive policies and the Democratic Party. Yet Elon Musk — the wealthiest of them all — recently surprised the nation by <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/18/elon-musk-says-hell-vote-republican-bashes-democrats.html">announcing</a> that he is voting Republican.
Musk — the CEO of both Tesla and SpaceX, as well as TIME Magazine’s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-musk-named-times-person-of-the-year">Person of the Year</a> — is worth $215 billion, according to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/profiles/elon-r-musk/#xj4y7vzkg">Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index</a>. Amid his rise to become the richest man in the world, one of Musk’s primary obstacles has been leftist lawmakers and their agendas.
In the spring of 2020, Musk grew increasingly frustrated as government lockdowns prevented the reopening of his companies. In California, lawmakers refused to allow a major Tesla factory to reopen, leading Musk to weigh moving the company’s headquarters to Texas — which, of course, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-musk-says-tesla-moving-headquarters-from-california-to-texas">he eventually did</a>.
“Frankly, this is the final straw. Tesla will now move its HQ and future programs to Texas/Nevada immediately,” Musk <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1259162367285317633">tweeted</a>. “If we even retain Fremont manufacturing activity at all, it will be dependen [sic] on how Tesla is treated in the future. Tesla is the last carmaker left in CA.”
Musk devoted significant time and energy to refuting the mentality behind the lockdowns. “The expansion of shelter-in-place, or as we call it, forcibly imprisoning people in their homes, against all their constitutional rights, is, in my opinion, breaking people’s freedoms in ways that are horrible and wrong, and not why people came to America and built this country,” he <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/29/21242102/elon-musk-coronavirus-fascist-shelter-in-place-tesla-covid-19-safety-science">argued</a> during a Tesla earnings call. “This is not democratic. This is not freedom. … Everything people have worked for all their lives is being destroyed in real time. I think the people are going to be very angry about this and are very angry.”
As Musk continued to balk at the draconian policies, he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-musk-take-the-red-pill">encouraged</a> other Americans to “take the red pill.” The phrase — which comes from a moment in “The Matrix” where main character Neo opts to take a pill allowing him to see reality despite being force-fed a lie throughout his entire life — also refers to liberals beginning to reject leftist narratives. Indeed, Musk <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1287818109651431427?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1287818109651431427%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailywire.com%2Fnews%2Felon-musk-announces-hes-switching-to-vote-republican">noticed</a> that the Left is “losing the middle” of the political spectrum.
Over the next several months, Musk began vocally opposing Democratic officials and debunking key elements of their agendas.
As President Joe Biden assumed office and introduced the Build Back Better Act — a package that would have expanded federal social programs, such as universal preschool, childcare subsidies, and climate change initiatives — Musk <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nothing-is-more-permanent-than-a-temporary-government-program-elon-musk-continues-crusade-against-biden-agenda">actively argued</a> against the legislation. “I would say can this bill, don’t pass it. That’s my recommendation,” he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-musk-trashes-bidens-build-back-better-plan-can-this-bill-dont-pass-it">argued</a> during The Wall Street Journal’s CEO Council Summit. “If this bill happens or doesn’t happen, we don’t think about it at all really. Honestly it might be better if the bill doesn’t pass.”
Musk also <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1468685877970935809">used</a> a line that originated with economist Milton Friedman, and which President Ronald Reagan often borrowed: “Nothing is more permanent than a ‘temporary’ government program.”
The world’s richest man is no supporter of President Biden. While the White House has frequently praised the efforts of Ford and GM, Tesla — the world’s largest electric vehicle manufacturer — has often been omitted. The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-bidens-electric-vehicle-summit-excludes-tesla">snubbing</a> may be due to the fact that Tesla is not unionized, as former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki hinted last year when she was asked why Tesla was not invited to an electric vehicle summit in which the other two companies participated.
During his most recent State of the Union address, Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-musk-hits-joe-biden-hard-after-state-of-the-union">nodded</a> to Ford and its manufacturing efforts. “Ford is investing $11B to build electric vehicles — creating 11,000 jobs across the country,” read a post from Biden’s Twitter account as the State of the Union speech concluded. “GM is making the largest investment in its history — $7B to build electric vehicles, creating 4,000 jobs in Michigan.”
“Tesla has created over 50,000 US jobs building electric vehicles &amp; is investing more than double GM + Ford combined,” Musk <a href="https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1498848735798960130?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1498858611241635843%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es2_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailywire.com%2Fnews%2Felon-musk-hits-joe-biden-hard-after-state-of-the-union">responded</a> as an “fyi to person controlling this twitter.”
Indeed, Musk has often referenced Biden’s apparent senility. After Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-repeatedly-struggles-while-delivering-remarks-elon-musk-torches-him">stumbled</a> through remarks provided to him via teleprompter, Musk commented with a meme from the movie “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy,” which showed the film’s main character struggling to use a teleprompter. “Whoever controls the teleprompter is the real President!” Musk added.
Musk’s disdain extends to Democratic legislators. For instance, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/stop-projecting-elon-musk-blasts-elizabeth-warren-for-saying-hes-freeloading-off-everyone-else">asserted</a> on Twitter that the “rigged tax code” ought to be changed so that the multibillionaire will “stop freeloading off everyone else.”
Musk <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1470848958897471497">replied</a> with a series of knockout blows. First, he suggested that Warren “stop projecting” and linked to a <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/elizabeth-warren-is-a-fraud-her-lies-about-being-native-american-disqualify-her-from-presidency-senate.amp">Fox News</a> opinion piece entitled “Elizabeth Warren is a fraud — Her lies about being Native American disqualify her from presidency, Senate.” Then, he said Warren reminds him of “when I was a kid and my friend’s angry Mom would just randomly yell at everyone for no reason.” And finally: “please don’t call the manager on me, Senator Karen.”
Musk also <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1472754632325795843?">said</a> that he had paid over $11 billion in taxes — possibly the <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/29/investing/elon-musk-tesla-stock-sales/index.html#:~:text=A%20record%20tax%20bill&amp;text=But%20that%20will%20still%20increase,ever%20paid%20by%20any%20individual.">most</a> any individual has paid in a single year. Apparently, Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) was not satisfied; she <a href="https://twitter.com/RepJayapal/status/1445165585969528835">parroted</a> the notion that it is “long overdue that the richest of the rich pay their fair share.”
When Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) likewise called for a billionaires’ income tax, Musk <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1457497438474981384">responded</a> in a far less mature way: “Why does ur pp look like u just came?” When Wyden pushed for a tax on unrealized capital gains, Musk <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1452792781726961668">said</a> that “eventually, they run out of other people’s money and then they come for you.”
Beyond the halls of Congress and the White House, Musk also established himself as a leading voice against wokeness on Wall Street.
Musk has repeatedly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-musk-condemns-rising-woke-trend-in-corporate-america">condemned</a> American companies’ efforts to make businesses more “socially conscious” through the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/esg">Environmental, Social, and Governance</a> (ESG) movement — an investment and management philosophy that seeks to promote progressive causes in addition to maximizing shareholder returns. Under the guise of promoting equity, companies emphasize their use of green energy, seek contracts with LGBTQ suppliers, or otherwise arrange their operations such that producing shareholder value is tied to a leftist agenda.
When entrepreneur Marc Andreessen <a href="https://twitter.com/pmarca/status/1501104414328705025">blasted</a> ESG funds’ willingness to “make the weapons required to fight wars with hostile regimes we buy energy from” and simultaneous refusal to invest in energy companies, Musk <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1501194770261098497?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">argued</a> that “ESG rules have been twisted to insanity.” The vast majority of Americans happen to agree — by a two-to-one margin, Americans want companies they invest in to seek profits instead of promoting political causes outside of their missions, according to an Echelon Insights <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/poll-by-two-to-one-margin-investors-reject-woke-companies-pushing-political-causes">poll</a> conducted on behalf of The Daily Wire.
Even with respect to social policy, Musk has held positions aligned with many on the Right. As conservatives like <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-winner-declared-in-hotly-contested-gop-senate-primary-in-ohio">Ohio Senate candidate JD Vance</a> offer policies centered upon incentivizing parenthood, Musk has called for societies around the world to avoid population collapses by having more children.
“I think one of the biggest risks to civilization is the low birthrate and the rapidly declining birthrate,” Musk <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-musk-warns-civilization-will-crumble-without-people-having-more-kids">explained</a> at The Wall Street Journal’s CEO Council Summit last year. “And yet, so many people, including smart people, think that there are too many people in the world and think that the population is growing out of control. It’s completely the opposite. Please look at the numbers — if people don’t have more children, civilization is going to crumble, mark my words.”
Musk <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-musk-warns-about-the-direction-mankind-is-going-u-n-projections-are-utter-nonsense">told</a> the world that the United Nations’ population predictions are “utter nonsense” and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/a-great-loss-for-the-world-elon-musk-predicts-the-end-of-japan-eventually">warned</a> that Japan will “cease to exist” as people stop having children. With respect to China — which only recently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/civilization-is-going-to-crumble-musk-on-chinas-plummeting-birth-rate-and-the-need-to-repopulate-the-planet">reversed</a> its infamous One Child Policy — Musk pointed out that the communist nation had its <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-musk-predicts-chinese-population-collapse">lowest</a> birth rate in history last year.
As more evidence built in his mind, Musk finally announced that he would vote for Republicans for the first time in his life — exactly two years after he advised his fellow Americans to “take the red pill.”
“I have voted overwhelmingly for Democrats, historically,” Musk <a href="https://people.com/politics/elon-musk-says-he-will-start-voting-for-republicans-after-having-voted-overwhelmingly-for-democrats/">acknowledged</a>. “Like I’m not sure, I might never have voted for a Republican, just to be clear. Now this election, I will.”
“I support free speech, but not any one candidate,” Musk <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1531297810758389760?lang=en">added</a>. “In fact, I gave money to &amp; voted for Hillary &amp; then voted for Biden. However, given unprovoked attacks by leading Democrats against me &amp; a very cold shoulder to Tesla &amp; SpaceX, I intend to vote Republican in November.”
Musk kept his word by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-musk-celebrates-historic-republican-win-in-deep-blue-south-texas-massive-red-wave-in-2022">casting his ballot</a> for Mayra Flores, a Republican who beat Democrat Dan Sanchez in a special House of Representatives election in southern Texas. Beyond serving as the first congresswoman born in Mexico, Flores is the first Republican to win a seat from her portion of the Rio Grande Valley since 1870. “I voted for Mayra Flores — first time I ever voted Republican,” Musk <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1536973965394157569?lang=en">remarked</a>. “Massive red wave in 2022.” When <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-musk-tips-hat-toward-ron-desantis-to-be-next-president-of-the-united-states">asked</a> about who he was likely to support in the 2024 presidential election, Musk responded, “DeSantis.”
Though he stands out from other billionaires in his decision to support conservatives, Musk by no means stands out from the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-polling-cnn-analysis-spells-disaster-for-democrats-in-midterm-elections">typical American</a>. Along with millions of fellow businessowners, Musk despised the government lockdowns that rendered operations nearly impossible. Along with millions of fellow voters, Musk is raising his eyebrows at the radical Left as it continues to fall out of touch with the American people.
As the midterm elections approach in a few short months, Musk will certainly not be the only disgruntled centrist at the ballot box.

Wade</a> on June 24. 
“Our medical pregnancy clinic serves client families for five years, providing superior services for anyone who asks. We raised $250K for a mobile medical clinic for underserved areas, treating everyone. Because of people like @SenWarren we now have to hire armed security,” Heaton tweeted in reply to Warren’s original post.

The abortion activist senator had <a href="https://twitter.com/SenWarren/status/1541586785087766528">shared</a> on June 27, “With Roe gone, it’s more important than ever to crack down on so-called &#8216;crisis pregnancy centers&#8217; that mislead and deceive patients seeking abortion care. My bill with @SenatorMenendez would stop these harmful practices.” 
She shared that along with a link to a Time article claiming that crisis pregnancy centers have personal data on women that could be “weaponized” against them.
This type of rhetoric can and does lead to violence. The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/in-the-wake-of-roe-v-wade-attacks-on-churches-pregnancy-centers-escalate">reported</a> that following the Supreme Court leak and historic decision, dozens of crisis pregnancy centers have been attacked. Protestors vandalized the buildings and threw firebombs into them, scrawling messages in spray paint that said, “IF ABORTION AINT SAFE YOU AINT SAFE!”
Heaton is one of very few Hollywood actresses who makes her pro-life stance public despite receiving a lot of criticism about it. 
“If you don’t provide abortion care to women who need it, you’re not providing health care. So get off your high horse and face reality &#8211; the Supreme Court did this, not @SenWarren,” one detractor named Susie <a href="https://twitter.com/SusanSPatt/status/1542158666681434113">shared</a> on Twitter.
“Hello Susie &#8211; PP provides no pre or postnatal care for women &#8211; do you demand the same of them? Should they provide free ultrasounds, diapers, medical care for pregnant women who want to keep their babies?” Heaton <a href="https://twitter.com/PatriciaHeaton/status/1542164595841826816">shot back</a>.
“Is it because those places are notorious for misrepresenting their goals and a woman&#8217;s options, thereby negating any concept of &#8216;informed consent&#8217; for a woman&#8217;s full spectrum of options? Nah, couldn&#8217;t be that,” another <a href="https://twitter.com/buhnyfoofoo/status/1542174040563093504">said</a>.
“No one has ever died from visiting a pregnancy clinic,” the “Malcolm in the Middle” alum <a href="https://twitter.com/PatriciaHeaton/status/1542181561495347201">responded</a>.
Heaton’s pro-life stance has been constant and unapologetic, CBN <a href="https://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2016/may/actress-patricia-heaton-takes-heat-for-pro-life-comments">reported</a>. During an interview, the actress said, &#8220;I find it impossible to subscribe to a philosophy that believes that the destruction of human life is a legitimate solution to a problem that is mostly social, economic and psychological.&#8221; 
&#8220;In reality, most women &#8216;choose&#8217; abortion because they believe they have no other choice,” Heaton continued. “Women who experience unplanned pregnancy also deserve unplanned joy.&#8221;

The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/white-house">White House</a> has spoken out against a suggestion by Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/elizabeth-warren">Elizabeth Warren</a> (D-MA) to develop abortion services at National Parks.
White House Press Secretary <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/karine-jean-pierre">Karine Jean-Pierre</a> addressed the issue during a Tuesday press gaggle aboard Air Force One.
&#8220;I think we talked about this the other day about, you know, building some kind of facilities on federal lands.  Are you any further along in terms of exploring those options?  And would it be a possibility to come to some agreement with Tribes to use Tribal lands?&#8221; Jean-Pierre was <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/press-briefings/2022/06/28/press-gaggle-by-press-secretary-karine-jean-pierre-and-national-security-advisor-jake-sullivan-en-route-madrid-spain/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asked</a> by a reporter.
The press secretary noted that &#8220;we understand the proposal is well intentioned, but here’s the thing: It could actually put women and providers at risk.&#8221;
Jean-Pierre added that the move could lead to potential prosecution.
&#8220;And importantly, in states where abortion is now illegal, women and providers who are not federal employees — as you look at the federal lands — could be — potentially be prosecuted,&#8221; she added, claiming there are &#8220;actually dangerous ramifications to doing this.&#8221;
When pressed for additional details on the issue, Jean-Pierre only noted &#8220;we&#8217;re looking at an array of other options.&#8221;
The speculation about abortion services on National Park property spread after Warren mentioned the idea during a Washington Post interview.
&#8220;They could put up tents, have trained personnel — and be there to help people who need it,&#8221; The Post&#8217;s Caroline Kitchener reported Warren telling her regarding abortions at National Parks. &#8220;It&#8217;s time to declare a medical emergency.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The full article by The Post quoted Warren supporting Planned Parenthood &#8220;outposts&#8221; on the edge of National Parks. “The point is the acknowledgment of the emergency situation and the urgency of getting help out,” she <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/06/27/democrats-angry-party-leaders/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in the interview. “People need help immediately.”
Warren&#8217;s proposal follows comments by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) to build abortion clinics on federal land.
“Open abortion clinics on federal lands in red states right now!” she told supporters following the Roe v. Wade decision.

Ocasio-Cortez has also argued freedom of choice is &#8220;an inalienable right&#8221; despite the Supreme Court&#8217;s verdict that overturned Roe v. Wade and returned abortion laws to states.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The strong response also follows trigger laws in 13 states that will further limit abortion following the Supreme Court&#8217;s Friday ruling.
Missouri became the first state to effectively ban abortions following the Court&#8217;s decision after Republican Attorney General Eric Schmitt issued an opinion within an hour of the ruling.
“Today, the overruling of Roe and Casey permits Missouri to renew its proud pro-life traditions and restore basic legal protection for the most fundamental of human rights — the right to life,” Schmitt <a href="https://missouriindependent.com/2022/06/24/abortion-is-now-illegal-in-missouri-in-wake-of-u-s-supreme-court-ruling/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>.
Other states have followed, with a federal court <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/court-rules-tennessees-six-week-abortion-ban-can-take-effect-following-roe-decision">allowing</a> a Tennessee law to go into effect that will ban abortion after six weeks in most cases.

White House Shuts Down Elizabeth Warren’s Push For Abortion Clinics At National Parks

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

White House

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) suggested on Monday that the federal government could sidestep any state laws regulating abortions by allowing Planned Parenthood &#8220;outposts&#8221; to set up on the outskirts of national parks.
Warren reportedly made the comments to The Washington Post&#8217;s <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/biden-wants-to-pick-up-travel-tab-for-women-seeking-abortions-in-wake-of-scotus-roe-ruling/">abortion</a> reporter Caroline Kitchener, calling on President Joe Biden&#8217;s administration to step up in the wake of the Supreme Court&#8217;s 6-3 ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women&#8217;s Health Organization — which resulted in a 5-4 decision overturning landmark abortion cases Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey.
&#8220;I just spoke with @ewarren, who suggested the Biden administration establish Planned Parenthood outposts on the edges of national parks,&#8221; Kitchener tweeted. &#8220;&#8216;They could put up tents, have trained personnel — and be there to help people who need it.

Warren has been <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/i-am-angry-elizabeth-warren-loses-it-over-leaked-supreme-court-draft-axing-roe/">outspoken</a> on the issue since long before the Court&#8217;s ruling came down last Friday, attending protests in the days after the early opinion draft — which aligned closely with the final decision — was leaked.
&#8220;I am angry because of who will pay the price for this! It will not be wealthy women. Wealthy women can get on an airplane. They can fly to another state. They can fly to another country. They can get the protection they need,&#8221; Warren said at one such protest, her voice breaking. &#8220;This will fall on the poorest women. This will fall on the young women who have been abused, who are victims of incest. This will fall on those who have been raped. This will fall on mothers who are already struggling to work three jobs to be able to support the children they have.&#8221;
And the Massachusetts liberal is far from the only member of Congress who is proposing &#8220;workarounds&#8221; for people who are trying to skirt new laws restricting abortion in the wake of the Supreme Court&#8217;s ruling.
Congresswoman <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/aoc-encourages-pregnant-women-to-dodge-abortion-laws/">Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez</a> (D-NY) has also shared tips and directions for young women who are trying to obtain abortions in states where they are either restricted or no longer legal.
&#8220;It is possible that states who criminalize people who get abortions may begin to take advantage of digital surveillance to track people,&#8221; the Congresswoman shared, advising women in impacted states to delete any apps that could track their menstrual cycles.

Elizabeth Warren Wants Planned Parenthood To Put Up Tents Inside National Parks

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) blasted the Supreme Court’s overturn of Roe v. Wade, calling for additional justices in a highly controversial new interview.
Warren made the comments during a Sunday <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/supreme-court-set-torch-legitimacy-roe-reversal-elizabeth/story?id=85706276&amp;cid=social_twitter_tw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">discussion</a> on ABC News’ “This Week.”
“They just took the last of it and set a torch to it,” Warren told co-anchor, Martha Raddatz. “I believe we need to get some confidence back in our court and that means we need more justices on the United States Supreme Court &#8230; We’ve done it before, we need to do it again.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Warren argued that abortion would serve as a critical issue during the November midterm elections, calling for more senators who would take the side of Democrats.
“We [need to] get two more senators on the Democratic side, two senators who are willing to protect access to abortion and get rid of the filibuster so that we can pass it,” Warren said. “John Fetterman, I’m looking at you in Pennsylvania. Mandela Barnes, I’m looking at you in Wisconsin. We bring them in, then we’ve got the votes, and we can protect every woman no matter where she lives.”
The Massachusetts senator also blasted the overturn of Roe v. Wade as “extremist.”
“I do know this: that the Republicans have been very overt about trying to get people through the court who didn’t have a published record on Roe but who they knew, wink, wink, nod, nod, were going to be extremist on the issue of Roe v. Wade and that is exactly what we have ended up with,” Warren said.
The 6-3 decision in Dobbs v.s. Jackson Women’s Health Organization on Friday followed the view of a leaked opinion by Justice Samuel Alito in May. The leak led to demonstrations and acts of violence by pro-abortion activists, including an alleged attempted murder charge regarding one man who appeared near the home of Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
On Friday evening, an elected Republican said on social media that Arizona state Senate members were “held hostage” inside the Senate building due to protestors following the court’s ruling.
“We are currently there being held hostage inside the Senate building due to members of the public trying to breach our security. We smell teargas and the children of one of the members are in the office sobbing with fear. I expect a J24 committee to be created immediately,” state Sen. Kelly Townsend (R-AZ) tweeted.

On Saturday, in Lynchburg, Virginia, police also responded to a vandalism attack on a pro-life center. The Blue Ridge Pregnancy Center was marked with graffiti on its entrance area that read, “If abortion ain’t safe, you ain’t safe.”
Multiple windows had also reportedly been broken, with security cameras capturing footage of four masked people involved in the vandalism.

Amid news of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/inflation">inflation</a> reaching another record high, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/democrats">Democrats</a> are circling their wagons around legislation meant to crack down on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/economy">corporations</a> purportedly engaged in price-gouging.
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/inflation-reaches-8-6-setting-new-four-decade-high">rose</a> 8.6% between May 2021 and May 2022 — meaning that inflation reached its highest levels in four decades, a Friday morning report from the <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.nr0.htm">U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics</a> revealed. The new figure was worse than the Dow Jones estimate of 8.3% year-over-year inflation in May, according to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/06/09/may-consumer-inflation-expected-fiery-hot-as-gas-food-and-rent-rose.html#:~:text=The%20CPI%20report%20is%20released,ET%20Friday.">CNBC</a>.
President Biden characterized Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ukraine">Ukraine</a> as the main factor behind the higher prices.
“Putin’s Price Hike hit hard in May here and around the world: high gas prices at the pump, energy, and food prices accounted for around half of the monthly price increases, and gas pump prices are up by $2 a gallon in many places since Russian troops began to threaten Ukraine,” Biden said in a <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/06/10/statement-by-president-biden-on-consumer-price-index-cpi-in-may/">statement</a>. “Even as we continue our work to defend freedom in Ukraine, we must do more — and quickly — to get prices down here in the United States.”
Although most social media accounts for Democratic members of the Senate discussed the January 6 protest hearings on Friday morning while remaining silent about inflation, two lawmakers — Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/amy-klobuchar">Amy Klobuchar</a> (D-MN) and Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/elizabeth-warren">Elizabeth Warren</a> (D-MA) — called for Congress to pass their preferred legislation in the interest of slashing prices.
Klobuchar — pointing toward a Thursday tweet from President Joe Biden that blames high prices on “a handful of companies who control the market” for shipping — referred to her <a href="https://www.klobuchar.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/2022/3/klobuchar-thune-bipartisan-legislation-to-help-fix-supply-chain-and-ease-shipping-backlogs-passes-senate">Ocean Shipping Reform Act</a> as a mechanism to prevent the firms from “jacking up prices.”

My bipartisan bill with Sen. Thune will help crack down on these multinational shipping conglomerates that are jacking up prices and finally help American businesses get a fair shot.

If signed into law, the bill would render it harder “for ocean carriers to unreasonably refuse goods ready to export at ports,” according to Klobuchar’s office. The legislation advanced through the Senate unanimously.
Meanwhile, Warren lauded Klobuchar’s <a href="https://www.klobuchar.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/2021/10/klobuchar-grassley-colleagues-to-introduce-bipartisan-legislation-to-rein-in-big-tech">American Innovation and Choice Online Act</a> — which, according to Warren, would “promote competition and lower consumer prices” by banning technology firms from “favoring their own products.”

“The nation’s largest tech companies, such as Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google, have faced accusations of prioritizing their own products on their platforms, using their market power to edge out competitors, and limiting consumers’ choice,” Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) said of the legislation last year, according to Klobuchar&#8217;s office.
Before it began to climb, inflation was 1.4% in January 2021, <a href="https://www.bls.gov/charts/consumer-price-index/consumer-price-index-by-category-line-chart.htm">according</a> to Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Over the past year and a half, Democrats have repeatedly emphasized the alleged role of corporations in raising prices.
Ahead of Thanksgiving, for example, Warren <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dismissing-inflation-concerns-warren-asks-the-doj-to-probe-poultry-companies-for-corporate-greed-in-raising-turkey-prices">blamed</a> meat and poultry producers of “price fixing,” “excessive consolidation,” and “plain-old corporate greed” as turkey prices rose — and called for the Department of Justice to take action.
“Lack of competition in the poultry industry is allowing these massive companies to squeeze both American consumers and farmers to fuel record corporate profits and payouts to shareholders,” she argued. “When companies have monopoly power as massive suppliers, they can jack up prices of the goods they sell.”
Warren, however, rejected the possibility that firms’ price increases are related to “inflationary costs” — even as reports <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/thanksgiving-just-got-more-expensive">indicated</a> that the high price of corn feed was causing a modest decline in turkey production.
More recently, New York Attorney General Letitia James, another Democrat, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-yorks-democratic-ag-goes-after-price-gouging-amid-formula-shortage">called</a> on baby formula retailers to “stop overcharging” for the scarce product.
“It’s unconscionable that some retailers are taking advantage of the national baby formula shortage while parents are struggling to find food for their children,” she said. “Amid this crisis, families already have enough to worry about and should not have to worry about being price gouged. We are warning all retailers that New York will not tolerate price gouging of baby formula, and I encourage anyone who sees this to continue reporting it to my office.”

Here’s How Democrats Are Reacting To Inflation Reaching New Highs

Inflation

International Monetary Fund Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said at the World Economic Forum on Monday that stablecoins not backed by assets are a “pyramid” scheme.
Earlier this month, TerraUSD and sister stablecoin Luna — which are linked to the value of the dollar by algorithms relying upon traders to arbitrage the two coins’ prices — plummeted in value, leading the cryptocurrency market at large to undergo <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/why-did-cryptocurrencies-terrausd-and-luna-unravel-stablecoin-price-crash-explained-11652462779">billions in losses</a>.
Georgieva pointed to stablecoins as “the area where the big mess happened.”
“If a stablecoin is backed with assets, one to one, it is stable. When it is not backed with assets, but it is promised to deliver 20% return, it’s a pyramid,” the Bulgarian economist <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/23/imf-head-says-stablecoins-not-backed-by-assets-are-a-pyramid-hinting-at-ust.html">said</a> at a World Economic Forum panel moderated by CNBC. “What happens to pyramids? &#8230; They eventually fall to pieces.”
However, Georgieva is in favor of continuing the use of other cryptocurrencies — especially if they are <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/imf-georgieva-urges-against-abandoning-175202539.html">subject to regulation</a>.
“I would beg you not to pull out of the importance of this world,” she continued. “It offers us all faster service, much lower costs, and more inclusion, but only if we separate apples from oranges and bananas,” she said, arguing that regulators around the world must establish safeguards for investors.
Indeed, Americans lawmakers such as Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) have repeatedly called upon regulators to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/warren-asks-biden-administration-to-crack-down-on-cryptocurrencies">crack down</a> on cryptocurrencies.
“I have become increasingly concerned about the dangers cryptocurrencies pose to investors, consumers, and the environment in the absence of sufficient regulation in the United States,” Warren told Treasury Secretary and Financial Stability Oversight Council Chair Janet Yellen last year. “However, as the demand for cryptocurrencies continues to grow and these assets become more embedded in our financial system, the Council must determine whether these trends raise concerns beyond investor and consumer protection and extend to broader systemic vulnerabilities that could threaten financial stability.”
Leaders of the World Economic Forum have repeatedly called for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-future-is-built-by-us-world-economic-forum-chairman-who-spoke-of-great-reset-of-capitalism">coordinated regulation</a> of the global economy.
“Let’s also be clear: the future is not just happening; the future is built by us,” World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab said on Monday. “We have the means to improve the state of the world, but two conditions are necessary: The first one, is that we act all as stakeholders of larger communities, so that we serve not only our self-interests but we serve the community. That’s what we call ‘stakeholder responsibility.’”
“And second, that we collaborate,” he continued. “And this is the reason why you find many opportunities here during the meeting to engage into… action and impact initiatives to make progress related to specific issues on the global agenda.”
Schwab has also faced criticism for his calls to leverage the COVID-19 crisis into a “Great Reset” of capitalism.
“To achieve a better outcome, the world must act jointly and swiftly to revamp all aspects of our societies and economies, from education to social contracts and working conditions,” he wrote in June 2020. “Every country, from the United States to China, must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas to tech, must be transformed. In short, we need a ‘Great Reset’ of capitalism.”
