Are We in Charge?
Are We in Charge?
I’ve read an important piece by Elizabeth Nickson, and at the time I read it, I knew I had to answer. A comment was just not going to do it.
And, thank you, Elizabeth.
Here is a link to her piece:
The answer is actually a question, and one to which I do not know the answer. Or, do I?
Before sitting down to write, I reviewed the activities of BlackRock. They are indeed huge, and they are stakeholders, apparently trusted by the Federal Reserve, by the U.S. government, and by communist China, to name a few. I wonder, what would it take to bring them down? I know they complained when Florida divested itself of funds managed by BlackRock, and many other states have done the same. However these efforts are certainly not big enough to “bring them down.”
Elizabeth’s piece was an exposé of the activities of corporate planners worldwide, and certainly not just BlackRock. However, does not their success depend on us, as consumers?
Are we in charge, or are we not?
It seems to me, if we as a group decided to put an end to the corporate bullshit we are currently weathering, it should be well within our capabilities to do so. A bit of organization is all it would take.
Now, here’s one thing I do know. Faced with a corporation-by-corporation take-down effort, a big mama corporation at the top could conceivably rescue said companies. At a profit to itself, of course. But it could be done, in particular, if the effort was to wait until they get federal digital currency into the U.S.
So, time is of the essence.
By all means, do read Elizabeth Nickson’s article, and then, perhaps, the comments.
Please feel free to tell me, how very out-to-lunch this idea really is.
Or not.
