Once more:

The US Department of Labor used to enforce regulations that employers and their investment managers chose their employees' investment plans based on financial factors. They'd need to choose mutual funds or ETFs that looked profitable for their employees 401K plans..

That was great, but what about Climate Change and other radical Left wing bottomless pit causes?

A scheme was devised.

Under Obama, employers became able to gamble their employees futures on their own personal social causes & beliefs, by expressly allowing businesses to "make investment decisions that reflect climate change and other environmental, social, or governance (ESG) considerations..."

Obviously, this created a flurry of Woke virtue signaling from big corporations, who no longer needed to prove that they were profitable to attract investor capital, they only needed to prove they weren't transphobic, and cared about Diversity and Inclusion.

It's pretty easy for massive companies like Disney to whore out their comic book publishing division to the required activists, and that's precisely what they've done. It's happening everywhere, but since we're mostly interested in comic books around here, let me be specific:

Marvel and DC have become Woke Bait for potentially trillions of dollars of ESG investment capital. Your future. Your money. They're getting it whether you buy their Woke garbage comics or not.

A year ago, Trump's USDL attempted to reverse this policy, in which everyone goes woke and YOU go broke, but President Biden is currently in the process of reversing that reversal. Quietly. You probably didn't even know it was happening.

But now you know why.

Now it should be clear, why gender and race swapping of classic comic book characters are grabbing headlines. Now you know why every third character is coming out as LGBTQ, and why it's important that CNN and the NY Times report about it.

It's not because these companies are Left, it's because being SJW is easier than demonstrating that you are capable of earning a profit. And all you need to do is read the Twitter accounts of our local comics SJW population to have that brought squarely home to you.
