   @sabbatical @Jackiemauro @womble the whole process of forcing the company being bought to hold the loans for its purchase is so unbelievably weird that it should be strictly banned yesterday. When someone wants to take over and wreck a thing, at least leave them holding the bag.

     @Jackiemauro @womble i wonder if you could outlaw private equity without outlawing some basic tenet of how private business works that would make it unenforceable. would genuinely be interested in how this would work from a policy/legal perspective. could make a big difference if it was possible — somebody’s prob thought it through!
