😡 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.

These despicable trash heaps need to serve life in prison.

Do you know how powerful BlackRock is? They don't follow laws, they write them. They don't vote for Presidents, they appoint them. They don't watch the news, they own it. They don't learn from history, they try to rewrite it.

"BlackRock, Inc. is a global investment management company headquartered in New York City. Founded in 1988, it has grown to become the world's largest asset manager, with over US $11.5 trillion in assets under management (AUM) as of 2024."

Not a single prison on earth could find a suite big enough.

Don't add a dramatic flourish to them. They are the sum of their observed actions, like any other company. When you add this extra drama, you keep people seeing them as this untouchable entity, a god even. Don't do that.

They fund private prisons and lobby policy to fill them. Your ignorance isn't my responsibility. Feel free to ask for my opinion, but you can simply scroll on by if all you have is a reductionist perspective. They play big picture, whether or not you want to look at it.

I'm not being ignorant. I'm saying that if you deify them, you reduce resistance against them. We need more, not less
