The War on ESG and Apple’s Artificial Intelligence 03/03/23

The Senate voted to overturn a Labor Department rule that permits fiduciary retirement fund managers to consider ESG factors in their investment decisions. The House version of the bill passed with the support of every Republican and one Democrat. Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.) discusses the critiques around the bill and how it would play out in real-time. Apple quietly included a new feature on your iPhone called Clean Energy Charging and turned it on by default. Joanna Stern, Wall Street Journal senior personal technology columnist, discusses Apple’s new ‘green charing’ setting, how far away consumers are from full AI-written emails and more. Plus, Congressional Republicans aren’t happy with an SEC effort to rein in crypto platforms and USAA tells employees their remote jobs…are no longer remote.
