Not only do BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street own everything, they also own shares in each other. Antitrust is dead; it’s basically one big monopoly. These three firms own corporate America
They are the most well known private equity firm, but when I learned they are in the 40th place of how many assets they own and manage I was flabbergasted... Worth giving in some more time to understand what happened to the financial world in the past 25-30 years.

Just know that black rock has 9% or higher controlling share in almost all companies and they colluded with vanguard and another company I don't remember and all those 3 companies have 9% controlling shares in each others so they all 3 vote same in almost every thing
