The CEO of the largest rental company in America got assassinated in Manhattan last week. Mainstream media is desperately trying to cover it up, now refers to the CEO as just an “employee”.

Vergangene Woche wurde die #Blackstone Managerin Wesley LePatner vor ihrem Büro erschossen. LePatner managte einen 53 Mrd. US$ Immobilenfund, der zehntausende in die Obdachlosigkeit trieb.
Es ist die dritte Hinrichtung seit #luigimangione

#Blackstone owns 300k homes. Very Neofeud 'Let Them Eat Cake' moment from pre-guillotine Star Spangled Versailles. The aristocracy didn't even bother to take the 'lord' out of 'landlord' when they put the 'capitalist democracy' mask on. (second pic is Neofeud in-game screenshots)

Blackstone is now the largest corporate
landlord on Earth with over 300,000
homes in the U.S.
Billionaires and corporations have bought
millions of homes and either raised rents
or left them as empty investments.
There are 16 million vacant houses—28
for every homeless person.
