    appreciate this. they do say the boomers are the last gen to be able to expect more than the gen before. The booms gen failed us. going forward, the next gens need to expect less, and that’s been made clear true to me. i’m not going to jump to conclusions and blame y’all.

    but my viewpoint doesn’t differ much from the current view of boomers on the upcoming gens.

    but even then, don’t get me started on anyone 22-36 in the current work force. never seen more entitlement in my life. never seen less drive or ownership in my life.

    You must be emotionally distraught on this subject. You used all small letters to express yourself.

    We're TIAA people. That is an excellent investment company.

    Sure, believe in conspiracies and don't believe the facts.

    I made $40/week in late 69 and early 70 working at Tektronix. My first raise was a nickel/hour.

    The facts are a company that has an unfair advantage at buying assets via trillions of dollars loaned through the federal reserve, a service you or I don’t have access to and that BlackRock itself doesn’t qualify for in a normal functioning marketplace, artificially driving up prices and helping make the dream of home ownership stay a dream forever.

    If you think any of this is moral or ethical, I’ve got a Hunter Biden painting to sell you.

    meh. it's my ode to 3rainiac. he used to do it.

    besides, I think it's in every generation's dna to bitch about the generations before and after (but for real, the gen behind me has no work ethic and the self-entitlement is unreal).

    You don't know what you're talking about. This is the company that won't deal in things like Bitcoin. Why is that? Is it because of the money issue? No, it's because of the huge power drain to run their operations which leads to more carbon based energy production for said operations.

    That’s the biggest crock of shit. They want to claim Bitcoin mining computers are ushering in climate change while they fly around in private jets buying entire neighborhoods out from under struggling middle class Americans. Pretty loose morals when compared to a computer using electricity, a supposedly ‘green’ form of energy, to mine Bitcoin. They are just a tool for the federal reserve pretending to act independently, and they view Bitcoin and other cryptos as a threat the the fed’s lucrative debt stranglehold over the American people. They are the scum of the earth and don’t need your sympathy. Shame on anyone using lame excuses to defend them just because they don’t want to ding their stock portfolio.

    How about some sort of credible back up to this? I mean a meaningful discussion other than jonnyboy's opinion.
    Well, this post is full of shit.
    I've heard the president of BlackRock get interviewed for an hour and he's got my vote. On that we must part because we're never going to convince one another.
    By the way, BlackRock is endorsed by Merrill Lynch but I'll bet you see a conspiracy in there.
    You are leaving this discussion without ever showing me any credible evidence that you are right. Guess what that means.
