[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2991226, member: 116181"] There's a minor detail that you leave out... all that "profit" that comes out at every level also has a bunch of costs associated with it. Specifically in the form of paying normal people to work, which is usually the most costly part of any operation. The only way most people have to spend money is to earn it first, so instead of every step being a profit suck to screw the consumer, you should think about where we all fit into the food chain and take out our money that we end up spending at the end of the cycle. There's a conspiracy idiot going around on social media claming that Vanguard and Blackrock "own" pretty much every business out there, because they have very large stakes in indivdual stock issues on the market. But the root truth there is they're two of the worlds largest asset managers, and Vanguard specifically is who runs most 401ks for normal people. So sure Vanguard "owns" all these companies, but millions of people with an investment account like I have are the true ultimate owners of it all. [/QUOTE]
