that is never gonna happen.

sometimes these funds save destroyed companies rebuild them and sell for big profit some times the just use them to load up debt. there are quite a fee companies we consider progressive that would not be around without private equity and hedge funds investing in them and turning them around.

I know not all firms are what we would call ethical to the workers but some actually do provide people who otherwise would have no or few job options something.

gotta be careful though its a balance. i wish those workers the but they way things are going with technology and "free trade" their days may be numbered. america better wake up no middle class means no body to carry the debt service that keeps this whole system running.I said that right the middle class with car loans credit cards and home loans litterailly provide not only the direct labor we also provide the 1% even more money just paying debt service.
