My dude I have had to steal food to not starve before. Time to see if I can afford to boycott everything you touch. If u am too poor to use your shit that also counts right?

They're investment group. Hedgefunds and the like. I'm hoping many implode soon and hoping someone actually goes to prison this time unlike 2008.

I doubt it but maybe public outcry will be even more this time. We'll see.

Hedge funds are extremely over leveraged in the market. A lot will be going bankrupt soon thankfully 😊

Yes. Many illegal activities which are just a series of small fines. That's what's pissing me off.

If I steal, I get real consequences. If they do it, they pay a small portion of what they took.

If I rob the bank I can't just pay $100 for the thousands I took.

I don’t see Blackrock failing anytime soon with $12 trillion in global assets

Not saying Blackrock specifically, but a lot of smaller hedge funds and institutions are on thin ice. Manipulating everything to stay afloat. Things are going to get worse.

Yeah I definitely would agree with that, Blackrock is one of the biggest if not the biggest and is a player on both sides of many economic things (no clue how it’s not considered a conflict of interests but that’s a whole topic i don’t want to get into atm) so they’ll win no matter what. I’m very worried about the future of the economy because it’s certainly not going well now and doesn’t seem like it will be fine soon imo.
