This is a brilliant analysis. Someday perhaps you'll look at the role private equity has played in decimating hospitals, including Hahnemann in Philadelphia and Crozer and Taylor in Chester, Pennsylvania. The whole system is just another grift.

You explained to the last period what happened to Steward Hospitals in Massachusetts. The head of company left county to avoid prosecution. Our governor, ag, and state senators were hot on their asses after Steward had decimated hospitals under their care. People started asking why no one in government was “ watching the store” Hospital originally owned its own property. Steward soaked it to the point that hospital lost land and was paying RENT to Steward for what was once theirs. Steward is now banned in Massachusetts.

Private equity should be illegal in its current form.

These are the same human-vultures who are buying up whole buildings in Barcelona and London just for profit. Unless we STOP THEM, they are coming for everyone's pensions too.

This is good, but you should tell how PE started in the 1970s. You make it seem like KKR started with Toys R Us.

And now Canada has a "banker" in charge. Who doesn't want to put out a budget.
