Zerohedge talks about them a lot. They are a very crooked organization and they own huge portion of US property. Yes, they deal with realestate but mostly in rentals.

If I invest in an index fond or ETF I control where the money goes. I get sick of people talking about BlackRocks investments in a form of how much control they have.
At least they should be honest enough to only count the activly managed funds and not the ETFS and so on.

someone post that "pure coincidence" comic!
Don't forget about their good friend, Capital Group. An ex girlfriend of mine got a job with them straight out of college, basically as an accountant. Guess what her major was in college?
Women's Studies.
And she said the words "I hate math"
These companies don't give a flying fuck about who does their gruntwork, they just need someone to keep the spreadsheets in line while they play their huge game of monopoly.
She also tried to get me to invest, and was surprised , for some reason, that I didn't have $5000 to just drop into a hole. Investing is for rich people who just want to get richer without doing any work.

Are you retarded? They're a pretty well known company

Most Americans are too dumb to see they're being manipulated

Who the fuck doesn't want to get richer without doing work, are you serious?
>>74743276
Well, you need to work to have money to invest in the first place so...
>>74743276
Greedy assholes, that's who.

I can get behind that concept. It just blows my mind when these trillion dollar companies spend six months interviewing "diverse" millennials, then hire them straight out of college, pay all their moving fees, put them up in a $2500 a month apartment until they get their own, help them find housing, and then basically send them to accounting class. Then they work 60+ hour weeks an are completely, utterly miserable all the time but keep doing it for the six figure salary.

The average perception for people is that labor equates to profitability. It's very prevalent here in the US because of the 50's standards where men just did labor.

Well I mean yes and no; yes if you're destitute to begin with, you need to work and create start-up money. If your parents are well off you probably have a trust fund or some kind of "congrats you're 18" money, assuming you don't piss that all away in a year then there's your free money to invest.

Greedy assholes don't want to get richer without doing any work, right.

Parents are not just magically "well off". Some generation has to bite the bullet and all following generations must be resourceful with the family assets. 99% of people fail at this, 1% don't.
