Blackrock, Inc. – What is it, where did it come from.
BlackRock, Inc. is an American multinational investment management corporation based in New York City. Founded in 1988, initially as a risk management and fixed income institutional asset manager, BlackRock is the world’s largest asset manager, with US$9.5 trillion in assets under management as of October, 2021. BlackRock operates globally with 70 offices in 30 countries and clients in 100 countries.
BlackRock has sought to position itself as an industry leader in environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG). The company has faced criticism for climate change inaction, its close ties with the Federal Reserve System during the coronavirus pandemic, anticompetitive behavior, and its unprecedented investments in China.
We talk about the Gabby Petito new story that was going around at the time and why so many people have gone missing in that area (800 at this point in time) and people going missing from national parks.
Little Baby’s Ice Cream
The company began in 2011, selling ice cream from tricycles.[1] A brick and mortar location opened in August 2012. The company received national attention for a 2012 commercial, “This is a Special Time”, in which a man apparently made of ice cream uses a spoon to consume ice cream from his own skull. (The actual substance used was marshmallow cream.) The company introduced pre-packaged ice cream pints in 2015 in containers similar to oyster pails.
The company had locations in Philadelphia, Washington D.C. and Baltimore. Along with pizza restaurant Pizza Brain, the company faced harassment from Pizzagate conspiracists.
In November 2019, Little Baby’s permanently closed
