Do these leftist investment CEOs not worry that their clients will come after them with pitch forks or other means?
Unfortunately, most of their big pocket “clients” are pension funds for states and the federal TSP funds (which Blackrock manages). So the investment CEO’s have to please federal and state bureaucrats.
They have government support, from Federal Reserve to various Fed.gov agencies. It's not in the open, but it's there - and it can be powerful.
It's how fascism works. You help the government's political agenda, they make sure you survive and thrive
