It amazes me how often I see Vanguard and BlackRock conspiracy nonsense when 99% of the data being discussed is publicly available in online.
Vanguard and BlackRock are asset managers, the owners are the account holders, aka the customers. I own some VTI, a Vanguard ETF, therefore I’m a part owner like most Americans.
I’m not defending BlackRock, but so many are quick to just say “They control the world!” with zero data or understanding of the corporate structure. It’s all online. For free.
