Jacobian Mag defending Planter as not a racist because he posted on Reddit about things conducive to building an off grid compound really feels like they're missing the forest for the trees imo

Sorry to the seemingly unrelated Jacob and or Ian I just @tted about this

Now in its fifth year of operation, the Massachusetts Opioid Recovery and Remediation Fund (ORRF) Advisory Council spent more than $60 million in Fiscal Year 2025. A review of the fund expenditures by @binjreports.bsky.social found $13 million in discrepancies.

Reported by Jonathan Gerhardson.
Mass. spent a record amount of opioid settlement funds last year. But on what?
BINJ examined an unpublished remediation fund report, which revealed spending on services, equity grants, and millions unaccounted for.

I mentioned this stat from Alisa Wood of KKR in a talk I did a few weeks ago, but did you know: There are more private equity firms in the United States than there are McDonald's? (~19,000 vs. 14,000) In 1980, there were 24 PE firms *total* in the U.S. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
