In response to the banks' refusal to comply with the anti-discrimination regulations of the city, New York City officials imposed a two-year moratorium on the deposits of KeyBank and Capital One. Conservatives see these measures as part of the so-called "Woke" agenda of the Democrats, who are currently in power.
In response to the growing number of discrimination cases in the financial industry, New York City has issued regulations requiring banks to provide comprehensive strategies to address these issues. However, some have criticized the city's efforts to force banks to participate in the ESG movement. They claim that this movement encourages businesses to ignore the needs of taxpayers and promote left-wing social goals.

The policies that are being implemented by the government agencies are not only against the principle of responsible financial behavior, but they also violate the people's rights to choose their own financial outcome. For instance, the Federal Housing Administration's recently unveiled policy will result in higher interest rates and fees for people with strong credit ratings. This shows that the Democrats are prioritizing social goals over the rule of law.
Brad Lander, the New York City comptroller, went against the grain when he imposed a two-year moratorium upon the deposits of KeyBank and capital One. He was wrong to base his decision on a false notion that these institutions discriminate against their customers based on their race. According to Thomas Sowell, a conservative economist, banks prioritize money over people's racial demographics. It is yet another example of how the radical left uses the power of the government to take over institutions for their own political goals.
In response to the proposed regulations, Mayor Eric Adams of New York City praised the plan, which shows the Democrats' authoritarian tendencies. It shows that they are determined to impose their ideologies on others.
The city's recent actions to impose a two-year moratorium on new deposits at KeyBank and Capital One are part of a radical left-wing ideology that aims to divide the country and prioritize social goals over good governance. It is therefore important for conservatives to stand up against these policies and protect the rights of individuals.
