Some things are just easier to understand when Cory Doctorow explains them.
Pluralistic: The long lineage of private equity's looting (02 June 2023)
https://pluralistic.net/2023/06/02/plunderers/
My favorite lines from the essay:
"The banality of evil gets even more banal when it's done in service to maximizing shareholder value."
"The crimes that monsters commit in the name of ideology pale in comparison to the crimes the wealthy commit for money."
