Reply to comment by Jack_Sandwich in BlackRock HQ in NYC stormed with pitchforks. by helloworld_141
At least they're protesting at the right place this time. I'd rather they annoy an investment firm than toss soup at art.

The right place? Republicans have withdrawn billions from their funds because they’re investing in ESG. Pissing the group of people who can actually drive real change with big money. At least know your shit before you go and protest

Capitalists like Blackrock are the problem, not the solution

Despite changing their ways and investing billions into renewable resources, screw them? They’re leading the way lol renewables will only take hold when companies invest in it. Which they’re doing. Meanwhile these spoilt brats achieve nothing. Be the change you wanna see. Blocking escalators isn’t doing shit

They will ONLY do what makes their stakeholders money. you’re delusional if you think they’d do anything good for the world in lieu of profits. You’ll literally get booted from the board for that. On rare occasion those two things will coincide, what is good for the planet / public and what makes money but in the OVERWHELMING majority of situations what is good for the private profits of blackrock is NOT good for the public

Well we are going to run out of oil so we have to move to renewables. What's good for the environment is also good for black rock in the long term. Wind, solar, and nuclear energy as well as electric cars are the future.

Ok, thanks!
Seriously if you think Blackrock is even .1% benevolent I have a bridge to sell you
