Not to be dramatic but I don’t think people quite understand how much of a disaster eliminating USPS would be. Like it would be end-of-this-country level of a disaster
Combined? Absolutely.
Dividend recapitalizations let the PE sponsors have the company borrow new money specifically to pay special dividends and fees straight to them. That cash is extracted and gone. If the business later files for bankruptcy, the remaining debt is the company’s problem, it gets restructured or only partially recovered by creditors, while the sponsors keep everything they already took out. Management and advisory fees paid by the portfolio company add another layer of returns that do not depend on the equity surviving.
It’s even more insidious than that. It’s the same playbook as Sears, ToysRUs, and even Bed Bath Beyond. PE takes the company over, reduce quality to “increase profits” but really to start the death spiral as customers leave. They put all their friends on the board and pay them risk free compensation. Then they hire a bunch of their friends a consultants from companies like BCG, and bleed the company dry while “figuring out why the customer are leaving”. Then they leverage the business up with a bunch of debt to continue paying the consultants and board of directors, while their friends in big finance short and distort the company into bankruptcy. Their friends win big while the customers, shareholders, and employees lose.
Its so interesting how women cope with this by being like "these men are probably balding incels whove never touched a woman" like sorry guys its high time to accept that these are in fact the men youre dating and marrying. They hate you!
also goes to show just how desperate they are to cling to any sort of cultural relevance cause a white supremacist of 100 years ago would put a gun in his mouth before he considered greeks white

@AdamFrost99158@seanhhm@themeasuredtake hasan is simply an activist. he doesn’t have the position or power to single handily change anything. what i CAN tell you is how the democrats correct strategy is working and it’s shit. they continue to move right and are losing votes because of it.
@AdamFrost99158@themeasuredtake@seanhhm so wtf are you on? just support them even when they don’t represent the peoples needs or wants? the only way you get the to do anything is threaten their position
