What would be the main difference between a Harris-victory and a Trump-victory? According to Larry Fink, CEO of the world’s largest investment company Black Rock, the answer is: nothing. At least if you operate on Wall Street, that is. In his own words: “I’m tired of hearing this is the biggest election in your lifetime, the reality is, over time, it doesn’t matter.”
Now that Fink, who controls one of the most powerful companies on the planet, has let the cat out the bag, corporate media are scrambling to insist that he is mistaken or misguided.
Black Rock works with both the Biden-Harris administration and with Donald Trump. Trump’s campaign-finance forms prove that he has invested in Black Rock. The current deputy secretary of the treasury appointed by Joe Biden, Adewale Adeyemo, worked previously as the senior adviser at Black Rock and served as Larry Fink’s chief of staff. Michael Pyle, who is Kamala Harris’ chief economic adviser, used to work as an investment strategist for Black Rock.
So it seems that the real winner of the 2024 US presidential election will in fact be Wall Street. And the loser, of course, won’t be Trump or Harris – but America’s working-class.
In this clip, journalist and US policy analyst Ben Norton digs deeper into the Black Rock boss’s recent remarks about the election.
