Usually, white-collar workers would spend most of their summer
days in an air-conditioned office. They'd use internet that
works fairly reliably instead of home internet that always seems
a little spotty. Is there any burden on workplaces to help pay
for these amenities in the age of WFH? And maybe more
importantly, should they? What would the cost vs benefit of
employers making it standard to pay for WFH tools or giving
employees a WFH budget?

Several weeks ago the DOL came out with updated ESG guidelines
that said, in essence, it's OK to invest in ESG as long as you
don't sacrifice financial returns in doing so. A number of
commentators have said these guidelines will hurt ESG investing
in retirement plans. Morningstar has gone so far as to say this
is contrary to what advisers want. Please provide short-2-3
sentence answers to the following questions by rewriting the
question (and retaining the original question number) before
your answer. PR folks - no solicitations as we get too many
responses to answer.
1) Explain (briefly) how the new DOL guidelines continue to
permit ESG investing.
2) Under what circumstances would retirement plan fiduciaries
need to avoid ESG investing?
3) How do those who feel the DOL guidelines "prohibit" ESG
investing actually prove the DOL's concern?
4) State your name, title, firm, and city/state location.
