re: How do we cut the head off the snake (Black Rock and Vanguard)
Posted by TexasRiddler on 1/10/22 at 4:11 pm
The problem is funds give themselves the power to vote on shares owned by their customers. Customers are the owners but if the index fund customers own 20% of all stock in the S&P500 then the fund manager controls 20% of the votes in every company included. That is too much power.
They use to abs...

He parked his car and observed, calling the police. Trayvon then walked up and stood in front of Zimmerman's car staring at him briefly then turned ar...

Watched until the end. It keeps getting better. More suspense and interesting plot in the last few episodes.
Overall worth watching but if you hate the first few episodes it does not get too much different just gradually more intense each episode....

The idea that consumers pay all the tariff is based on ECON 101 two country model. If you take ECON 300-400 International Econ you go into more nuance as this board is famous for. With three or more countries things get more complicated.

re: Why did ACB allow Despicable Dick Durbin to frame the Floyd incident as racism?
Posted by TexasRiddler on 10/13/20 at 12:32 pm
Your are right she did go down the path talking about her black children and how she cried. Just not sure how much of that was strategic and/or ignorance. Maybe she did have that reaction initially based on the news. Even if briefed on this issue I bet the people briefing her were ignorant and/or ...

I had the same frustration with her answer but hopefully she was just avoiding taking the bait. While it would be satisfying to have her lay out the true facts on this specific issue not sure it is the right time or place for that. It would only make her a lightning rod for protests and cancel cul...
