These 2 top shareholders own everything you have from your fork to your computer, clothes, food, energy, healthcare, medication, furniture, food chains (even competing ones) they own the majority share of both coke and pepsi, pizza hut and dominoes... and everything in-between.

I appreciate the insight, wasn't what I thought you were trying to say. Being they all appear to be investment managers, it's not really only two shareholders as it's other peoples money.

Ok... You are a "shareholder" because you have invested in that Company. Who cares where the money came from.

Fact Check-Video claiming BlackRock and Vanguard ‘own all the biggest corporations in the world’ is missing context
A video claiming BlackRock and Vanguard own “all the biggest corporations in the world” is missing context. While it is true that both investment firms hold significant shares in many of the world’s leading companies and can therefore wield voting rights, shares are ultimately...
“BlackRock itself is not a shareholder,” a company spokesperson told Reuters, adding that money being managed or invested “belongs to our clients”.
“The owners of these securities are our clients, through their investments made on their behalf via the funds managed by Blackrock”.
A Vanguard spokesperson told Reuters that its firm was “mutually owned”, meaning the “firm is owned by its funds, which, in turn, are owned by its investors.

But to your point.... it is funded by fees. They still own the shares.

Yet insurance companies are encouraging clients to get vaccinated, in fact they are spending a lot of money to get more people vaccinated. Well if they are all "owned" by the same two shareholders, something doesn't add up

It's actually pretty brilliant. Take peoples money and invest it... charge fees, and create an account to invest the fees as your firm into everything you can. Who cares about your investors, other than they are funding your investments via fees and service charges.
I read that article.. and I don't know what to make of it. Seems like this whole world of wealth is a game of smoke and mirrors.

.. and Im guessing that through "securities lending" is where they are gaining ground. SL are often short sells, which come with a hefty fee if held less than a year, and they pass that along to the security investor, and re-invest those fees to hold shares, real shares into Companies, hence becoming true shareholders. Do that for more than 3 decades, and you have a lot of control.

Lots of money, but not the trillions of other peoples money as described. Context matters.
