I’m a mere retail investor, but have recently switched as many as my investments as possible away from Blackrock, including my 401k. If you hold any iShares ETF, you are invested with Blackrock.
Vanguard (most funds start with V) and State Street (SPDR) are also woke, but Blackrock leads the charge in evangelizing leftist nonsense to Big Business.
For less woke, go with Schwab. They recently began offering an ESG ETF, but Schwab doesn’t appear to be actively preaching the gospel of Marx. They generally stay out of politics.
For actively anti-woke, go with Strive, a new company that says politics should stay out of investing. I have moved my S&P 500 index investments over to them.
CNG is $30/gal?
More like $3/gal, so 2500gal @ $3 = $7500
“One persistent myth in today’s materialistic society is that money rules everything. Those wishing to understand why people act the way they do are told to “follow the money.” The lust for power and wealth trumps everything.”
The “I’ll be safe up har in my home in these there mountains” bunch here have NO IDEA as to what they’re dealing with when it comes to the Left. The Left has NO INTEREST in ignoring you guys, they want you the most, and they want you on all-fours BEGGING them for food and THANKING them for still being alive.
And if you think you can fight off the federal government at your ‘ranch’ when they come for you, I have a bridge to sell you.
Blackrock should be broken up into many smaller companies.
Fink should be tried for treason.
Point taken.
And I apologize for my prior comments trying to defend Vanguard (and Blackrock) based on their structure (among other things).
In fact, I recently learned that Amy Guttmann (sp?) had been the Chair of Board of the entire Vanguard entity. If the Guttmann name seems familiar …. She is a Biden crony (IMO) and was until recently President of University of Pennsylvania; now she is Ambassador to some EU nation.
The liberal cancer is metastasized through most every aspect of our lives.
