Does the Fund Manager make the investment decisions? Why did the Blackrock cofounder Ralph Schlosstein say that Blackrock is "the most influential financial institution in the world?" What impact does CEO Larry Fink have on ESG investing as a way to apply non-financial factors like climate change initiatives and DEI programs to the analysis of investments? What is 'proxy voting' concerning 'investors,' and how does this relate to Blackrock's influence? Does BlackRock manage hedge funds (yes, ~40B)? What is this former hedge fund manager describing? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyaPf6qXLa8. Interestingly, Blackrock is criticized both for ESG and wokeness while also criticized for harmful investments. Some say Blackrock belongs in the corporate hall of shame - https://corporateaccountability.org/blog/blackrock-for-2022-corporate-hall-of-shame/. Blackrock has been referred to as the fourth branch of government - https://web.archive.org/web/20220702134344/https://www.bqprime.com/businessweek/how-larry-fink-s-blackrock-is-helping-the-fed-with-bond-buying#bypass-sw I'll stick with my belief that Blackrock manipulates the market, including the method described by the Blackrock employee that fits the industry stereotype.

Blackrock says war is good. They want the war to continue as long as possible. The moment the news hits... they are pump and dumping. Who decides what is note worthy? What is the end game? Profit. What propaganda is being pushed now, and how is it generating profit?

Assumptions that anyone critical of pride month is hateful and a homophobe… Clowns. The slacktivism does more harm than good.

Wyatt Hendrickson… for senior worlds

Just read the dog chatter. Top notch commentary all around.

i18n may have been different but the college forum has been Cinnabon since the beginning.

Kansas Melvin Douglas >>> 2xNC-D1 | 4xAA-D1 | 1x World Champ | 6x World Team Member | 2x Olympian Myron Roderick >>> 3xNC-D1 | Olympian Eric Akin >>> 4xAA-D1 | 3x World Team Member Peter Merhinger >>> 1x Olympic Champion while a sophomore in college. Kendrick Maple >>> 1xNC-D1 | 3xAA-D1 Zach Roberson >>> 1xNC-D1 | 3xAA-D1 Tyler Caldwell >>> 4xAA-D1 Eric Luedke >>> 2xNC-NJCAA | 2xAA-D1 Temoer Terry >>> 3xAA-D1 Tanner Gardner >>> 3xAA-D1 Shawn Bunch was pretty good! I am sure to be missing guys. It is hard to find information when there are no Kansas D1 schools. Note: I'm not sure all these guys were born in Kansas, but they are Kansas-claimed and did not make the World team this year ;).

Read the reddit comments for more snowflakes

There is more than one type of intelligence… smart/stupid… it is baffling until you label different types of intelligence.

More snowflakes. Cringe. TDS

How much is a ticket, gas, food, and hotel for a tournament within driving distance? How much for access to training videos and a library of historic matches?

My tenure with Flo...

It’s a fantastic deal.

If Trump doesn’t go to jail, he is your next president.

We are partly back on topic. Snowflakes are offended by cultural appropriation. Snowflakes want a month to celebrate their sexual choice and gender identity. We need more Morgan Freemans in this world.

If CNN canned their CEO because of #ETTD, then #losers

They likely are outsourcing to another country that handles names differently than the USA. Where a sidewalk is known as a pathway... Take these differences and tack them onto the common human trait that lacks attention to detail...

Using the definition implied in this BBS, we need more bigots because the broader public should not support public companies that celebrate a man (Dylan) with gender dysphoria who makes videos pretending to be a 6-year-old girl, who also discusses their barbie pocket. Other transgenders cannot stand Dylan... Do you have a line to draw for public celebration? Should Stefonknee Wolscht be publicly celebrated? How about a public celebration of these men in the back of the truck at the parade?

1. Sure, each individual has the right to feel good about themselves and celebrate. However, the public is not required to celebrate with the individual, and it is the public's right to boycott Bud Light due to their choice to glorify this person. 3. I visited two targets near the Kansas / Missouri border last week that had PRIDE stations and child tuck wear in the storefront. 4. People are being hired because of their diverse characteristics rather than their capability/merit/skill/experience. There is an increased emphasis on corporations and the government to ensure that diverse groups are represented at all economic and social levels (see Greenlining Institute DEI Framework). The idea behind DEI is good... but it's ethically wrong to hire lesser-qualified candidates to meet quotas based on sexual preference, gender identity, skin color, etc.
