... OP, They missed one angle. It’s not just how much those 3 hold, and I think Berkshire Hathaway is there too.
It’s the fact that they are not individuals. They are invested in the same companies, and each other. Board members in common. CEOs of one are board members in another. The top few groups are basically a single tribe of families. Acting as one and working with a common set of goals. This ^^^^^^ has been going on for more than 50 years. I started working at P&G in the '70's. Started reading the prospectus's and noticed that many other CEO's were on P&G's BoD (John Deere, GM). Started researching the other BoD's and noticed that the P&G CEO was also on their BoD's. And on and on. In 1980 a seat on the P&G BoD paid more than $70,000 per year to an outside director to attend the minimum 3 all expense paid BoD meetings per year. Not counting committee meetings and other events. As George Carlin said "It's all one big club. And YOU ain't in it..."

Way, way back, people ended up on top and were kings, czars.... We went a different direction, busted up the huge monopolies formed 100 years ago. Our current robber barons learned from the past, buy the politicians or include them. Honestly, I think we are too late. Mega bloodshed and years of terrible times are all that might save it. Otherwise we are doomed to something like serfdom and subservience. Except they are smart. They won't stop sports, TV, or beer sales. Folks will own nothing, but will watch football with a beer and be happy.

You aren't wrong, IMO. The Republic is gone.

Tik tok is less likely to spy in us under Chinese control than it would be under our government.
And Larry Fink is Satan incarnate.
Bb The problem that they are having with tick tock is that its algorithm is indoctrinating the youth into certain political beliefs. That’s the way I understand it. Once the algorithm detects you are sympathetic to muzzies or hamas you are saturated with it on a regular basis. Yes, you can steer the younger voters by an algorithm. Your comments prove you can be steered too, and have been. Your racist attitude toward "muzzies" didn't come from reading the Bible, or any authoritative writer on the historical conflict over Palestine, much less any truthful analysis of what Israel has been doing recently. The "problem" with Tik Toc is that free flow of information is factually indicting Israeli war crimes and utter depravity ratcheting up to WWIII with hopes of attacking Iran. What's more, the shameless prostration of our US Government, its Congress most of all, is roundly condemned for its cowardice enabling the most disgusting slaughter of helpless people since Pol Pot in Cambodia - only worse. Truth hurts the lying, conniving Neocon/Zionists/Jews who steer your thoughts with sick ideas. Your shtick is much better played over on DU. Keep reading those Hamas daily releases.

Then again… Maybe he formed a bias against Muzzies from seeing their carnage over the last 50 plus years. I guess it was “steered” I was steered long ago. Kill them all and le God sort them out

Banning Tik Tok was a Trump admin policy.
Not throwing shade on Trump, but this has been going on for a while Trump was just banning it on Govt phones.

When we let the congress abdicate their responsibility after JFK's assassination we demonstrated our weakness and politics became a profession that led to wealth and power. Vietnam weaponized the media and Waco was the final nail in the coffin for respect for the American voter's intellect and sense of history.
Fear is the drug that will result in our downfall.
Vote out the incumbents.

The council of foreign relations and the trilateral commission are the embassory of the world’s satinist global cabal working to create a new world order leading to the destruction of all individual freedoms. The bildebugers and Rothschild cabal are the puppet masters. They have recruited thousands of useful idiots such as Bill Gates, Al Gore, John Kerry, Obama, Biden, and their cohorts to institute their draconian agenda. We need to drop a 200 kilo ton bomb on Davos Sw. when they meet next year and simultaneously level the UN headquarters in NYC,
