BarbarianElephant posted:Real estate developers will be full of joy when it gets sold off cheap in the inevitable bankruptcy. They probably have a 99 year lease and Eddie knows that the only value is in the real estate his stores are sitting on and has been plundering it with convoluted financial schemes. It's probably technically on someone else's balance sheet already.

anonumos posted:The same Marketplace report also asserted that Toys R Us spent wildly on things that didn't improve the business; one example was their new headquarters which cost them 10's (100's?) of millions of dollars to build. It also mentioned the break-away from a partnership with Amazon crippling their online initiative. They were in a partnership with Amazon and then Amazon screwed them by letting other affiliates undercut them on toy prices. They were expanding online and they made the mistake of trusting a company like Amazon.

They are just aggregating their very favorable risk pools into one big one so they can get better discounts from medical providers. They are probably using some fancy technology to create further efficiencies to lower their costs more. I doubt you will be able to buy in unless you work for one of those companies. The problem isn't getting healthcare to Berkshire Hathaway executives, it is paying for the bottom quartile of subsistence workers and indigent people.
