Deep dives
Financial Institutions Using Personal ESG Scores
Financial institutions have started assigning personal ESG scores to individuals and small businesses. Merrill Lynch, for example, rates customers based on which companies they invest in, awarding higher scores to those supporting preferred companies. These scores are not limited to high net-worth individuals, impacting a wide range of individual investment accounts, even those worth less than $1,000. Companies are also offering data analysis based on personal ESG scores, potentially influencing hiring, promotion, and lending decisions.
Rising Assaults in New York City
Assaults, particularly against women, have increased in New York City, with prominent cases of female victims reporting being randomly attacked. The city has seen a rise in felony and misdemeanor assaults, indicating a growing sense of danger. Moreover, male actors and TikTokers have also experienced assaults, highlighting a broader issue of violent incidents affecting both genders.
Total Solar Eclipse Viewing and Safety
An upcoming total solar eclipse in April presents a rare astronomical event occurring every 18 months worldwide. The eclipse path in the US includes major cities like Dallas, Fort Worth, and Buffalo. To view the eclipse safely, direct viewing of the sun is cautioned against except during totality, where special eclipse glasses are essential. While partial views outside the totality path are possible, the unparalleled experience of totality is emphasized, urging individuals to witness this celestial phenomenon firsthand.
