Meanwhile if BlackRock became insolvent, the government would bail them out
How many single parents with four kids can afford a house?
All of them if it wasn't for greedy corporations.
Hey, 2$ is a bid.
All of them if you take it speculators
I think people misunderstand what BlackRock does. It's a proxy for other investors. Investors all around the world buy assets, produced by BlackRock and BlackRock routes that money into corresponding shares/bonds/real estate, etc.
The word "Produced" is doing some heavy-lifting in that sentence. When I hear "produced" I think of a factory making stuff that has value or a farm producing food.
I am no BlackRock lover, but at some point you should ask yourself: "do I need more kids?".
No idea. Do those billionaire shitstains need all that money? We should take a few billions from them and see, and then go after your totally real not made up strawman.
I think that question should be up to you. If you want kids have them, if you don't then that's cool too.
Unless you really want to start another eugenics movement telling who can and can't reproduce.
Society as we know it is going to collapse unless we have more children. Queue Dingledufus, "It's your fault for having kids!"
You can't make up this level of bootlickery.
I think Zach Wilson would be doing something else with the single mom
There's only 12 people on Lemmy who will get this joke which is a shame, because it's fantastic
What single mother of 4 is even shopping for, let alone bidding on, an actual house?
A single mom who works two jobs who loves her kids and never stops. With gentle hands and the heart of a fighter...
everyday
You mean 'every day', in English. #noChildLeftBehind
Ummmm let them have it. They are overpaying anyways.
That doesn't matter. Once corporations own enough of the housing market, they can literally sit on them and never sell. Then people will be forced to rent at whatever prices they want to charge. Initial high cost will be offset quickly by forever rents.
