Dear sirs and madams: 


I have been learning about the plan proposed by the NYSE to create a class of Natural Asset Companies to be made public. 


From my study of the people and companies leading the way in this proposal, I have come to the conclusion that it is even worse than the class of "investments" that are considered "ESG" friendly. Investments, so-called, that are doomed to not actually produce a genuine profit but supposedly save the planet. 


This new proposal is even worse. Under the guise of doing good "for the planet" it could actually instead strip landowners from accessing any profitably of their land via mineral, water, food production, etc. All in the name of "protecting" the land. 


This could, over time, ruin the lives of rural Americans and impoverish the nation and its citizens. Funny that, since it fits in well with globalists desire to get humans off of open land and into cities instead, and have corporations and governments own the land and use it for their purposes instead.

Some think anything for dealing with climate change is a good thing. Others see it as a typical means of removing citizens' rights and options and fulfilling a globalist dream that ends individual nations' sovereignty. 


Individual ownership and property rights has proven from history to make people more productive and happier (and their nations as well), while instead, trying to create regimentation, order and "efficiency" creates authoritarian governments and ends up suppressing people in the name of what "experts" claim is "for their own good". 


Please stand against this latest power grab! 


Sincerely, 


Rick D. Shepherd
