Banning large corporations from owning residential rental property would fix a great number of problems simultaneously. Give them X amount of time to divest and watch affordable housing flood the market.

Yeah, but if you work there someday you might become the chancellor of germany, go figure
Nobody is talking about this so I'll address it:
They also FORCE you through their processes.
Want to rent an apartment? Got to go through their systems and pay their application fee that's only for them. Didn't get approved? Non-refundable.
Applied and renting now? Oh yeah we don't actually offer these amenities without an extra fee that we didn't tell you until your first rent bill.
Oh, you can ONLY pay online through our renter's portal, with a convenience fee of $50.
By the end of a single year, you've paid $2500 for literally nothing.
Blackstone laughing all the way to the bank again because BlackRock is taking the heat for their activities lol
Blackstone specifically buys up residential property, BlackRock has a commercial real estate portfolio and it's smalmer
Smalmer than what?
Blackstone's REIT. I'm keeping the typo so your comment would continue to make sense
You can use ~~ sign in the front and end of the word to cross it out like that to make backwards corrections, but still keep the context of the reply that pointed out the typo.
The current German chancellor, Friedrich Merz, worked for them.
Don't forget about blackstone.
Or blackwater.
Man, could we have one black superhero without "Black" in their name?
just be homeless for a few days, it must trickle down any moment by now trust
I purchased some ETFs but I think they have some BlackRock associated stuff in there, does anyone have any insight on non AI and non BlackRock ETFs ?
If you're into ETF's first thing that matters is who manages that fund, BlackRock's ETFs are branded as iShares - avoid those of you do not want to give BlackRock any money. European alternatives are among others Amundi (French) Xtrackers / DWS (German), L&G (UK). My suggestion is look up the ETFs you have on https://www.justetf.com/ and look at what companies/countries/sectors are in that fund.
ETFs are best as a long-term investment, so I'd argue it's fair to not only look at how much cash you might get out of them but also what kind of companies you 'support' through them.
Personally my experience is that generative chat bots with web search are quite good at giving answers to your questions though. Not saying you should take their advice, but if you ask for example 'what are good ETFs without BlackRock and without AI?' you might get results that are worth checking out.
The entire system is setup to amplify the power of Money and the single biggest form of Discrimination out there as measured by the Hurt and Harm it causes is Wealth Discrimination.
This shit is not an unexpected flaw of this system, it's a desired feature by those who have been shaping it over the years.
To me, blackrocks are quickdraws where the black carabiner is attached to the rock :3
Tis a rotten system.
Even a married woman might be stressed and depressed enough to strangle 3 of her little kids with exercise bands and kill them. See: Marshfield, MA (USA).
