I wonder if it would even matter if people woke up to what's happening. 

Most people already know that Vanguard, Blackrock, and State Street are the primary culprits of wealth consolidation. There are others, but the reason I bring them up is because they are the ones that are giving the allusion of a free market. It's not a monopoly...it's a duopoly. A duopoly can give the appearance of true competition when in fact, they are the same companies.

Do you ever wonder why there are usually only two competing choices that dominate most of the market industry. Of course there are others, but there is usually two:

• there are only two major operating systems-Microsoft and Apple. Together they hold about 85% of the global market in that industry.
• there are only two major soft drink companies - Coke and Pepsi. Together they hold about 70% to 80% of the global market in that industry.
• Visa vs Master Card - 90% of the global market share
• Andoid Vs IOS - 99% of the global market share. 
• Boeing vs Airbus - 98%

 

Why is this the case? Because these three companies own each other. Even the boards, from their subsidiary companies, have some of the same members. This way they profit either way and they can choke upcoming competition. Though the products are different, they are still under one ceiling. 

This is not free a free market. They have just done a great job in making it appear to be.
