    0.1% for someone with a $500,000 mortgage would be $500.

    0.1% for a large company, like say, Blackrock, that has $15 billion dollars in debt, is 15 million dollars.

    Edit: however, Blackrock also *profited to the tune of 4.7 billion dollars, so the 0.1% increase is a 0.3% cut into their profit from last year. They can absolutely afford it.
