Enjoy getting pwned I guess.
Hey, that’s my guy!
Title is so hard to comprehend without proper punctuation.
It’s a small and feeble mind that seeks the comforts of broad categorization.
ESG compliant! Oh no! Only the most…wait, what’s that? Every fucking Fortune 500 company has an ESG program? Oh.
Well, I guess that’s nothing but stupid fucking conspiracy theorist QAnon goof bullshit.
Moving on…
