Their goal is the same as what many PE firms do but at a nation level. Suck out all of the value and funds while leveraging up the country. Blow out the deficit while walking away with the wealth of the American people and then exit, dumping it on the rest of us

MAGA voters will soon wake up to realize that there is a third party, the Oligarch-Fascist Party that is running the country. MAGAs didn't vote for them and the Party doesn't care a whit about them. Pity 1/

Many reports across the western world showing that lead, particularly in gasoline has helped create the violent society we're living in today www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Yes, lead poisoning could really be a cause of violent crime | George Monbiot

Reminder: "If you give me a giant airplane and let me build golf courses in your country I'll give you an air base in Idaho to house the F15's you paid us for and will tell Bibi to stop bombing your Hamas buddies"

Reminder: as I posted yesterday, the Gaza 'deal', such as it is is not a peace deal. It's a real estate transaction. But you can't build golf courses and resorts while the bombing continues. Keep your eye on Tony Blair, his consulting company and Jared Kushner

Or would I become vertically integrated and build a giant pharma, materials science, chip, entertainment, finserve company without having to share margins with other historic companies in those fields? If you're the best at everything why would you share?
