It's not just food/food distribution they control.

It is also the backbone of the American Dream: single family homes.

I know this personally.

After the Atlanta riots, many urban dwellers started moving to a southern suburban community where I've had nice rental houses for decades. Seeing the future, I chose to sell to relocate the $$$ to a better environment. I got immediate cash offers above my asking price from supposedly small investors. I sold the properties, which were immediately titled in the name of a Blackrock subsidiary.

By then, it was too late to go back to choose a different buyer, even though my net would have been 7% less.

When is the correct time to star discussing secession? Reds don't want to be like the blues, and blues hate the reds.

Maybe it's time for a divorce.

As Musk/Twitter showed, stock ownership and a board seat are not enough to dictate how a company operates. I'd like someone to connect the dots for me on exactly how Blackrock controls these companies

from 'who owns the world'? i did, and they never showed exactly how stock ownership results in controlling corporations. They implied it but never explicitly connected the dots.

Total revolt is the only way out. They have the power. What suggestions to avoid total control does anyone have?

The industrial age was the beginning of the end of self-sufficiency (family & community).

Life was difficult; but, probably better for all.

We are reaping the whirlwind of complacency & ignorance!!!

We have a few strong leaders in

Congress now. The outcome of November election will reveal much of the future —if we are United in our resolve to save our republic or continue on the destructive path we have set for

ourselves of division & ultimately

Destruction 🇺🇸🇺🇸🙄🙄😌😌
