And it sounds like you’re a communist, unless how you can explain how you can ban “investment partnerships buying companies” without doing away with private ownership more broadly?

The issue people have isn’t with “private equity”. If it was a publicly traded company doing this people would be equally upset.

Notice my “not sure how”

There is a very negative behavior right now by companies that call themselves private equity to buy up your local vet, doctors office, etc. Then they fire staff, reduce services, and increase costs.

We the people are losing, even if some of our 401ks grow because those funds invested in these PE vehicles.

This practice imho should be banned. How? I don’t know. But the U.S. will become shittier and shittier because of it.
