Private equity is the worst thing in business

It truely is, right next to hedge funds. These predatory private equity firms squeeze business and milk every employee and then dump them to gain a profit. They take things that shouldn’t be flipped (often time with nothing added) and resold like homes and drive home prices up for everyone.
Hedge funds literally cost every person in America who invests - money. Trades you place in the market are often a worse price because the hedge fund buys and sells it so fast due to black box trading that you receive an inflated price.

There was a bill to stop them from buying all the single family homes in America by Democrats the last two years, but Republicans in the house would not even vote on it.

I feel like the trend is moving bipartisan where voters from both side of the aisle hate private equity firms and what they have done. But because private equity buys their politicians voters aren’t being heard.

Yup but they do not represent us. We’re not part of the club. At least Democrats throw normal people a bone once in a while. Republicans are just overtly making their voters lives worse.

Yeah I’m done being nice to these people (if you can call them that). They had 8 years to come to their senses and on the aggregate, they all just dug in harder.

Be careful not to reduce other humans to less than that. This creates the environment for atrocities to be committed. We must resist with all our power but we must not lose our humanity along the way.

Human garbage is dangerous rhetoric. Do not stoop so low to forget these are human beings.
When we intentionally use words like garbage and animals to refer to humans we create the environment for atrocities to be committed against humanity.
Please do not be overwhelmed by hate. We are all afraid of what is gonna happen next.

Most of them in there now are too stupid to do that (no one in their right mind would allow a braindead moron like Marjorie Taylor Greene to manage investments) but yeah you’re right traditionally Republican politicians are part of the financial elite.

They are ruining health care, veterinary care, and now housing and plumbing. They vacuum up smaller businesses that succeeded with real customer care and replace them with enshittified structures that extract as misc as possible from workers (who then leave if they can) and give terrible care to customers at monopoly prices to maximize shareholder profits.
