So, governments are literally dictating what the company does, and who they hire? Then why does Walmart have a poor ESG rating as a company?

Your words, not mine. You obviously chose those words because they are extreme and you can use that to claim it's not true because the government does not hand pick employees. But afirmative action laws exist and they do constitute the government "dictating" whom you are hiring.

There are a lot of laws like that which can be wielded like weapons by bad actors. Not to mention economic attacks using cancel culture, or other assets like sanctions by banks, investors, and suppliers controlled by the adversarial party.

Absolutely. But ESG is another Trojan horse from the inside to enforce woke ideology, and it's obvious. That's not coming from government directly as far as we know, but I'm sure the DNC is all over it, and by virtue of that, the federal government and blue states.

So if anything, it's a proxy for the DNC.
