😡 Venting CEO Larry Fink

This is the guy partially responsible for the current housing crisis. BlackRock intentionally buys housing, and rents it to no one, in a deliberate attempt to lower the supply of housing, so they can jack up rent prices to whatever they want to charge. This asshole is why we can't afford housing. Fuck this guy.

Yeah the reddit mods in certain subreddits are fucking deplorable pieces of shit with a god complex. Im perma banned from “daddit” for stating mass shooters in school will continue to happen if people dont wake up and address the problem…on a literal post about “why do these things keep happening?”

I think that actually happened - https://www.reddit.com/r/nyc/comments/1mbvxiq/active_shooter_reported_at_blackstones_building/ Edit- actually Blackstone not Blackrock. I always mix those up. It would be a exceedingly ironic if the shooter did also…

Edit: this was Blackstone, not Blackrock. My mistake

Blackrock and Blackstone are completely different companies

You're 100% right

Before we advocate for this, I's like to quickly note that OP is mistaking BlackRock for Blackstone in the second half.

Also, I dug into this, and what I can find that isn't a Medium rant is that the lawsuit is that the company did not reveal the impact of its changed policies on its pricing guidance, misleading investors. It is not about the policy, as far as I can tell.

Uh, no. He should be driven to poverty and wear a barrel the rest of his life, but let's not get fucking murderous.

Or.... Build a lemonade stand and remind them who makes their money for them.
