Both parties definitely share responsibility for where we are today, especially when it comes to economic policies and deficits. The influence of entities like BlackRock can’t be understated either. They have a huge stake in shaping the financial world, often aligning with those in power to push their agenda, whether it's through tax policies or the promotion of ESG initiatives.

BlackRock's moves are more subtle but just as far-reaching. When Larry Fink sets his priorities, many companies and even governments follow, sometimes with mixed results as we've seen with the ESG push in places like Sri Lanka.

The sad truth is that the regular people are the ones that suffer the most, left to navigate the consequences of these financial giants and political leaders.
