It's legal for your employer and their chosen financial institution to force your participation/ownership in a mutual fund without your consent, even if you have ethical objections to the companies in that fund. I thought we were free to choose where we invest in the USA. We aren't.

Philadelphia PA. Cherelle Parker will not hold a town hall with voters that anyone would call "open". If she does it at all--which I doubt--it would be an audience cherry-picked of her supporters who would toss her softball questions. She cannot be trusted with power. I suggest that the residents of Philadelphia brace themselves for her as mayor.
