My name is Steve Milloy.<\/p>\n<p>Does Exelon\u2019s management really believe that Black Lives Matter? Or is that just a politically correct slogan that is cynically exploited? We\u2019ll come back to this.<\/p>\n<p>Fellow shareholders\u2026 my proposal is about management\u2019s eagerness to profit from the climate hoax\u2026 and to profit from the child and slave labor that the green energy scam depends on.<\/p>\n<p>Management first tried to surf the climate hoax as a rationale for building new nuclear power plants.  <\/p>\n<p>But that misguided effort failed miserably.<\/p>\n<p>So Plan B is to sell more electricity by promoting and participating in what management hopes will be government mandates for electric cars.<\/p>\n<p>But consumers don\u2019t want electric cars. They are expensive, inconvenient and offer no advantage over conventional cars. <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why the government has to bribe or mandate that people buy them.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, management is eager to profit from electric car mandates, carbon taxes and whatever other pointless and politically correct climate policies they imagine will rescue our earnings from their incompetence.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s get to the details of my proposal.<\/p>\n<p>Electric car batteries require cobalt.<\/p>\n<p>60% of cobalt comes from the Congo, which ranks 151st out of 162 on the Cato Institute\u2019s Human Freedom Index.<\/p>\n<p>Cobalt production in the Congo relies on forced child labor. I have the pictures.<\/p>\n<p>There as many as 40,000 children who are forced to work\u2026 forced to work\u2026 in the most brutal and dangerous conditions mining cobalt.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, the local environmental destruction is also incredible.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the link in the proxy statement which will show you the photos of the forced child labor and environmental horrors. <\/p>\n<p>Once cobalt is mined, 90% of it is processed in Communist China, where more slave labor and environmental destruction occurs.<br \/>\nManagement wants to hide these realities from you.<\/p>\n<p>It plans to close its eyes to these human rights and environmental atrocities.<\/p>\n<p>Management wants to greenwash its complicity in these horrors by claiming it\u2019s saving the planet from climate change.<\/p>\n<p>Fellow shareholders, even if you have fallen for the climate hoax, you should listen to the words of Joe Biden\u2019s climate envoy, John Kerry.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Kerry admitted that that even if the whole world goes to zero emissions, the climate problem won\u2019t be solved.<\/p>\n<p>If zero emissions won\u2019t solve whatever climate problem is imagined to exist, what the hell are we doing?<\/p>\n<p>So our out-of-ideas management isn\u2019t combatting climate change.<\/p>\n<p>What management wants to do is to profit off brutalized children literally slaving away in the human rights nightmare that is the Congo. It\u2019s immoral.<\/p>\n<p>So I have asked that management report to shareholders on the extent to which our business plan depends on these brutalized children.<\/p>\n<p>But our shameful management doesn\u2019t want us to know.<\/p>\n<p>Management doesn\u2019t want to report to shareholders on how many poor African children were killed, maimed and brutalized per share.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s ironic since management pretends that it supports Black Lives Matter. <\/p>\n<p>But do Black Lives Matter when it comes to profiteering off electric cars made with brutal slave labor involving African children? <\/p>\n<p>Management\u2019s answer is a resounding no.<\/p>\n<p>My proposal is your chance to tell management that profiteering from forced child labor is indecent and immoral.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your attention.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Results: Management tried to deflect my proposal by claiming that it&#8217;s not directly responsible for brutal child slave labor in the Congo. Lame. Exelon is not directly responsible for racism or police shootings either &#8212; but it still supports Black Lives Matter. In any event, my proposal got enough votes &#8212; 5% &#8212; to automatically qualify to be presented again next year. Only 19% of Exelon stock is owned by individuals. The rest is owned by institutions who generally vote for however management recommends &#8212; and management voted against my proposal. So my proposal probably got 26% of the individual shareholder vote &#8212; which is a pretty good result given that management recommended against my proposal.   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I presented my African child slave labor shareholder proposal at today&#8217;s Exelon Corp. shareholder meeting.
