So you know, absent that specific claim I think you have a pretty well constructed view of the colonial history of Britain.
I appreciate the care you put into citations. I'm not exactly getting the view of Churchill being the guy who killed 15 million during his terms, but I can definitely see, via your argument and citations, how you could say he was complicit in the system that caused tens of millions of deaths.
Right, this was what I thought of, but the estimates I find are not in the range of 15 million starved Indian people during the famine. That's where some of my confusion is.
The reason I ask is because the only thing I can think of relating to Churchill killing Indians is the Benghal Famine, and that did not kill 15 million Indians afaik. I also can't find any numbers for 5 million dead Romanis in WW2. Do you have a solid link you could throw my way?
... Hitler killed 5 million Romanis? Churchill killed 15 million Indians? Where'd you hear that from.
I'm very open to being the idiot here, but all I could find with the number 4 trillion was this infographic on yahoo news (article from guru focus).

And this isn't talking about the company's personal assets, it's investor money. Unless I'm misunderstanding.
Managing trillions of assets ≠ owning trillions of assets. Blackrock would functionally be the owner of none of these companies. The owners are the individual investors who use Blackrock's services.
This is a bad outcome.
Blackrock is an investment firm that invests other people's money. Wdym "they own everything".
Rare Republican W? I wonder if pro-Democracy Republicans, however many of them are left, will hold strong during the coming admin.

This is worrying. Here's to hoping the principles of the law don't get interrupted again by some bullshit interpretation of presidential immunity. Trump should reap what he sows.
