    If the left didn't exist, then Blackrock would be forced into bankruptcy or nationalized. It is always that pesky left that lets Blackrock do capitalism and cuts their taxes!

      That reminds me, remember during the 2020 primary when CNBC was trying to convince everyone that the banks and billionaires were really afraid of big bad Liz Warren?

          As I recall, this would have been in September 2019, when Warren was still doing pretty well before struggling after moving rightward.

          There was the thing where billionaires would go on television and start literally crying.

        They're pushing that again, quoting her saying that billionaires paying no taxes is quite bad (regarding the tax leaks of various rich assholes).

        Remains to be seen if she (or anyone) will do anything

      So what you’re saying is if the left didn’t exist, Blackrock would have to invent it to protect its interests.
