What if they start a huge fire and burnt down a ton of houses if they couldn't hold out anymore?

I see, so we must collapse Blackrock first.
Just be aware that BlackRock is capitalism’s final boss.
Wait, they own the equivalent of 1/3 US yearly GDP?
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
Very cool article!
As a millennial that was somehow able to afford a house this bubble needs to fucking pop.
I'll be locked into this house until I die and all of my friends and family will have to keep moving further away as they get priced out of their apartments each year. Before this I had moved 8 times in 6 years.
Also a millennial. Wife and I got our condo right before everything shot up, got a nice 3.25% APR. Great mortgage honestly. But we've been trying to sell our condo for a YEAR now and I honestly think it's the bubble holding back a sale. The condo is just too expensive for what it is (and the horrific rise of small community HOA fees has gotten way out of hand...). We're priced right compared to others on the market, but selling condos is just stupid hard right now.
Sure I'd love it if we could sell now and get some nice profits from the sale, but I absolutely agree this bubble needs to pop!
You know you can lower the asking price to sell it faster...
Or luigi blackrock
No, but they can remain solvent longer than you can survive on the streets.
And that's how they get you.
they have enough money to remain solvent for generations.
and they're using our retirement money to do it
What impact would a nationwide guerilla campaign of vandalism against say, Berkshire do?
I think we need more than vandalism. But it couldn't hurt. Where's Mario?
Why stop at Berkshire? Vandalize any home that sits vacant. We have more vacant homes than homeless in America. We just need to make vacant homes too big of a risk
No no no open the house to people that need to crash with a roof over their head. Squatting is the answer. Maybe eve some destructive squatting.
That's definitely a more productive solution
“Productive destructive squatting” sounds like a euphemism for part of my morning routine
Sounds like a convenient excuse to make everything a rental, or to just tear down all vacant homes.
You can't expect these people to sit by an issue they can toss money at to make better for them.
everything they own is insured and you would be doing them a favor if they could collect on the insurance money instead of holding onto the assets.
Probably not. At their level it's probably self insured, so they lose the money.
Someone will lose money, but it won't be blackrock
Insurance will start dropping them fast if it really catches on. A few wouldn’t affect anything. But hundreds?
anytime an insurance company withdraws from an arena; they pay out to their biggest policy holders anyways and blackrock has to be the biggest.
I want those 2015 prices
