Over a decade in private equity consulting taught me an alarming truth: investment firms are rapidly buying up America's essential services - from your local daycare to major hospitals. Each episode reveals how these acquisitions drive up costs, cut quality, and reshape our communities.


These episodes are currently AI-generated and based on my research and writings. Hopefully, the format will change to me and someone else presenting these topics, but that is currently not feasible due to time and financial constraints. Even though the commentary is not as biting as I would like in a lot of areas, the current AI-generated format is decent in at least spreading the gospel of the private equity heathens that are ruining our economy.


Sources and my research outlines for each episode are available upon request.


Take Care,

Jim

  • Private Equity's Theft of Taxes through Public Pension Funds

    Private Equity's Theft of Taxes through Public Pension Funds
    2024/12/27
    The core argument is that the private equity model—characterized by high leverage, opaque valuations, exorbitant fees, and a short-term focus—is fundamentally misaligned with the long-term obligations of pension funds. This mismatch, fueled by inadequate government funding and unrealistic return assumptions, jeopardizes retirement security and exacerbates market instability. The paper highlights how this practice contributes to inflated asset prices, reduced housing affordability, and the collapse of numerous businesses. Ultimately, it calls for urgent reform to protect both retirees and taxpayers.
