If you’re politically connected and influential, you get bailed out. Also, Blackrock is intermediating people’s pensions, so they’re ultimately just levering up retirees against the future generations of home buyers (empowered by the Fed). Think the politically connected Fed/DC/Davos crowd is simply going to just hand over power and influence?
