This was one of the most appalling stories I’ve ever looked into: A private equity termite rolled up the fire-truck manufacturing industry between 2016 and 2020—and has spent the last 5 years cashing in: doubling the price of fire apparatus, delaying order deliveries for years on end, and contributing to a crisis of preparedness at fire departments around the country.

Elohist. Some think they don't exist (never in class). Likes dramatic displays of devotion, e.g. sacrifice of Isaac, and triumph of the little guy, e.g. Jacob, Joseph. Always getting into trouble. Gryffindor.
