New MasterCard to monitor cardholders' carbon footprint, cap purchases

[livingston]

Auto manufacturers, companies, and governments increasingly have the power to track our every movement and prevent us from driving our own vehicles. Supposedly democratic governments can lock us down or even freeze our bank accounts on a whim (see also "Canada" and "Trudeau"). In this increasingly dystopian world, large multinational corporations are working hand-in-glove with said governments to reshape society in their preferred image, garden-variety citizens be damned.

To that end, MasterCard and the United Nations have joined forces to produce a credit card that measures your carbon footprint. Once you reach your "limit," you can't purchase anything else...at least with that card. Well What's next? We may not want to know.

This is coming folks .. ESG score ...
An ESG rating measures a company's exposure to long-term environmental, social, and governance risks. These risks -- involving issues such as energy efficiency, worker safety, and board independence -- have financial implications. But they are often not highlighted during traditional financial reviews. Investors who use ESG ratings to supplement financial analysis can gain a broader view of a company's long-term potential.
MSCI's key environmental issues fall under the categories of climate change, natural capital, pollution and waste, and environmental opportunities.
Climate change issues include:

• Carbon emissions
• Product carbon footprint
• Financing environmental impact
• Climate change vulnerability

Natural capital issues are:

• Water sourcing
• Biodiversity and land use
• Raw material sourcing

The pollution and waste category encompasses:

• Toxic emissions and waste
• Packaging material and waste
• Electronic waste

Environmental opportunities are:

• Clean technology
• Green building
• Renewable energy

Considerations for the social score​

Social score issues fall into four categories: human capital, product liability, stakeholder opposition, and social opportunities.

Human capital issues are:

• How labor is managed
• Health and safety practices and protocols
• Worker training
• Supply chain labor standards

Product liability areas of focus include:

• Product safety and quality
• Chemical safety
• Consumer financial protection
• Privacy and data security
• Responsible investing
• Insuring health and demographic risk

Stakeholder opposition includes:

• Controversial sourcing
• Community relations

Social opportunities are:

• Access to communication
• Access to finance
• Access to healthcare
• Opportunities in nutrition and health

Considerations for the governance score​

MSCI breaks governance into two categories: corporate governance and corporate behavior.

Corporate governance includes:

• Composition of the board in terms of diversity and independence
• Executive compensation
• Ownership
• Accounting practices

Corporate behavior encompasses:

• Business ethics
• Tax transparency

So folks your score will be determined by what business you decide to utilize .. When everything goes digital... Money will be available to spend on items they will want you to buy. It will be a rationing card .. One steak or a pound of ground beef / month.. All electric society.. You get so many kilowatt hours per household .. That figure will be on say a 900 sq ft home and one EV going 10,000 miles /yr. .. After that .. the electric will be shut off... Want to buy a gun .. Think again... Amazon-E-bay has kicked gun sales to the curb .. including parts ... So will be this digital currency ... No ammo for you. .

They can all kiss my carbon foot printed ass.

...and just like in Animal Farm, some eill have different rules because we are all equal, but some are more equal (and need special dispensation)
Like actors, politicians, any elite status equal person.

 

[Cooolone]

Well, fuck MC then... I'll take my carbon making business elsewhere!

When they can measure the carbon footprint of those in the Amazon jungle, Australian outback, jungles of Asia... And let's not forget that uncontrollable land, China! Then come gimme a fucking call!

Utter bullshit...

This will also control food purchases too. Meat = no go. Too much carbon footprint.

If I have a credit card it is on the agreement that they will act as an intermediary between myself and whatever company I decide to do business with.
If the card company decides, on their own, to no longer honor that contract then any and all funds owed to them are considered waived.

They are, in effect, announcing they no longer wish to do business with me. As such, they waive any further repayment.
