#PrivateEquity just can't stop doing what #PE does!
#SouthwestAirlines was a great #airline precisely because it wasn't like any of the others.
So let's see, now not only is now just the same as everyone else but...
Same shitty planes.
Same shitty and uncomfortable seats.
Worse service.
Worse routes.
Same price.
...
Used to #FlySWA all the damn time.
Guess it's #Delta from here on out.
And when #Southwest goes under, they'll blame everyone and everything but themselves. #aviation #transportation

"Join us to protest "DOGE Daddy" billionaire Antonio Gracias and his firm Valor Equity Partners. Gracias is a top Elon Musk money man who served as the DOGE lead on deportations and attacks on immigrants, brought top staff from his firm into DOGE to fuel the attacks, and led the effort to grab Social Security data for deportations and data mining."

“Los Angeles-based #privateequity firm Freeman Spogli & Co. is in the process of buying #PhilzCoffee for $145 million”
“Those who hold common stock, like #employees who bought stock during or after their years at the company, will see their stock canceled under the terms of the agreement, making those investments effectively worthless” 
“Freeman Spogli has invested in Popeyes, Cinnabon, El Pollo Loco, and Cafe Rio” https://missionlocal.org/2025/07/philz-coffee-private-equity-sell/
RIP Philz.
“Philz board members, which include former CEO Phil Jaber and his son, Jacob Jaber; representatives from investment firms Summit Partners and TPG Growth; and CEO Mahesh Sadarangani will receive payouts or bonuses from the deal.
Those who hold common stock, like employees who bought stock during or after their years at the company, will see their stock canceled under the terms of the agreement, making those investments effectively worthless.”

“Philz Coffee close to closing deal to sell to private equity firm for $145 million”
https://missionlocal.org/2025/07/philz-coffee-private-equity-sell/
Why isn't this considered wage theft? "“All Common Stock will be canceled for no consideration and all Options will be canceled and extinguished for no consideration,” "
Apparently employees were given stock options, and were encouraged to buy stock - ALL shares held by employees were Common Stock. When Private Equity bought the company, the shares were declared worthless (of course the the CEO, etc all will receive payouts).

Ich denke, der eine oder die Andere - gerade auch in der SPD [CxU und fDP sind hier verloren] - könnten aus diesem Video etwas über 'Investitionen' lernen: https://youtu.be/2k78WyecKF4?si=f_yOqi8xfIs2PuTI
Readers of the financial pages will have noticed that in the last couple of years, the language used to discuss Private Equity has subtly shifted; PE is now often referred to as a 'sponsor' of deals & investments.
err... sponsorship usually indicates the funding of project with the expectation of a 'pay-off' in non-financial benefits (profile raising, being seen to do good etc.). But PE 'sponsorship' is entirely focussed on financial returns;
more financial sector obfuscation?
Fucking vultures. Everywhere.
Private Equity Is Coming for Your Teeth

It's been 13 months since the private equity firm that bought where I worked laid me off. In that time, over hundreds of applications, I have gotten two interviews -- both at places where I personally knew people who recommended me for jobs. Jobs in GRC, crisis, incident, risk -- these seem to have vanished entirely. I'm glad I have a PT director gig but starting to wonder if I should start looking at changing fields and having security as a hobby since there are no jobs.

64/n The article made me think once again about Monopoly, and how perfectly it captures what the world is like. Originally called “the Landlord Game”, it was invented in 1903 by left-wing feminist Lizzie Magie who wanted to expose how rentier capitalism works through a game. She more than succeeded but - this being capitalist US - never got the credit for it. Interesting piece about it all here.
#FollowTheMoney 63/n Excellent article by Tim White on how across Europe #privateequity has been buying up significant proportions of housing and driving up rental prices. A key dynamic in growing inequality that contributes to alienation and rise of far-right.
Everything is about #Assets.
So...
All the fun
TLDs are owned by a #PrivateEquity firm.
Private equity have been buying up companies, then taking out adjustable rate loans against them and bankrupting them (see Joann, Del Monte, Hooters, etc) all while those companies have been profitable. (See pinned toot w/video)
So I'm wondering if they've taken out loans like this on the TLDs and how possible it is to bankrupt them as well 
And what would that look like?
Note: They don't own .com or .net
Even if you are not fluent in financial world speak, this video explains the coming recession in a way that even I could understand.
It completely shifted how I see things. And it scares the shit out me.
Take a few minutes to watch.
