"Big Oil" Bernie has investments in fracking companies

[Averroës Nix]

I mean, by the same standard, so do I. So do most working-age people reading this, probably. Mutual funds are how middle class people save for retirement in an era when employer-based pensions are in decline and even the long-term future of Social Security is in doubt. If you went through every investment that many ordinary families have, you could practically make a full-time occupation out of picking through the ethically dubious investments that are bundled together. It's just not possible for someone with a modest amount of investments that need to be highly diversified to manage them that closely.
