Minimal value for a company that is transparently worthless and also fairly unethical in practice. Also, it might be difficult to implement in a company that already has mortgages on its assets and a recent bank fraud conviction.

Scratch Monkey posted:The thing about this that I never understood Anyone with commercial loans, because you don't kill and eat the chicken before you get the loans your company just looks like it's trying to become independent under it's new ownership. Banks are a lot more careful now but this process is relatively slow, for example toys r Us went private equity in 2004 and went bankrupt in 2017. Tons of time to boil your commercial lender frog and extract value to your board and shareholders. Commercial lending safeguards only really prevent outright scams, a company that's getting hollowed out will limp along until a major shock kills it. Essentially, cutting down to the minimum required to continue being a going concern instead of reinvestment. The private equity had their money out by the time store closures started, and as long as you can make payments existing loans don't really readjust. Its a very slow burn, additionally many times VC run the company just fine and make more money than stripping it, but that tends to happen more in production than retail. Basically, it's impossible to tell before it's too late to do anything about it and your going to loose your commercial lending loan broker job if you don't give loans out to seemingly legitimate clients.

I wonder if this country's youth are going to hate capitalism enough to make the obviously immoral thing that hurts everyone but the ruling class illegal before I die Or will we just give up the pretense of democracy altogether by the time this place is far enough to the left for people to realize who's actually loving them and care Edit: holy poo poo there are people of voting age alive right now whose parents know the prosperity of pre-Reagan as nothing but a history lesson The Islamic Shock fucked around with this message at 20:18 on Jan 29, 2024 |

Unfortunately Starboard ended up reneging on the promise to salt their pasta water, and even acknowledged that the old board was right and the salt damaged the pots too much. Private equity is truly good for nothing.

Have we heard anything about Trump's immunity case that's with the appellate court right now? I feel like they heard that case a while ago now and it seemed like a pretty big slam dunk that he doesn't have absolute immunity I know they are trying to thread the needle on how much immunity a president has but if they aren't willing to release their opinion couldn't they lift the current pause on the Chutkan case?

You mention that sometimes the companies take flight again and it's hard for lenders to be sure which is which. Are the parasitic investors thinking that either thing could happen? Is it a case of them going in from the start with an intention and a plan to hollow out a company, or are they going in with a view to make the company make money but protecting themselves so well (to the point of malice) that even if they go too far and their load-lightening crosses over into "hollowing out" they still get paid?

Whether there's another appeal or not, that's a large wad o cash no longer available to the RNC. If the leader of the party destroys it because they're in too deep to pull out now, I may lol all the way to Alpha Centauri, there to be reunited with my balls (currently orbiting a gas giant).

enthusiasm for funding a political campaign or party dries up fast as hell when potential donors realize that their money isn't going to a campaign but is actually going to past due bills. its happening to the michigan gop under kristina karamo if trump's continued self-inflicted court ordered debt means that donor money intended for the presidential election is now obviously being pipelined directly into the maw of the I Will Never Shut The gently caress Up Fund c/o trump's greasy catshit for brains cosplay lawyer, then it could change some things it's cult leader sacred cow status battling directly against large financing groups starting to reassess whether to cut obvious losses and the potential for snowballing is at least non-zero

The best part is even when Trump isn't syphoning up campaign donations to pay for his doomed legal issues, he's syphoning up campaign donations that would normally be directed down ballot to his own ends. Between Donald Trump and Rick Scott it's a miracle that even pocket change gets to the proper campaign. So all that's left are Super PACs funded entirely by insane libertarian and dominionist billionaires that are completely untethered from voters.
