  Billionaire Larry Fink of BlackRock, Which Grabbed Fed Bailouts in 2020-2021, Lectures Struggling Seniors on Making More Sacrifices By  Pam Martens and  Russ Martens : March 27, 2024 ~ Laurence (Larry) Fink, Chairman and CEO, BlackRock Yesterday, billionaire Larry Fink, Chairman and CEO of the giant investment manager BlackRock, released his  annual letter to shareholders .

For years, Pritzker has been one of the most identifiable faces of the Democratic Party's elite donor class.  Apart from her position at Harvard,  she serves as the Biden admin's Special Representative on the Economic Recovery (read: corporate looting) of Ukraine.
