"Private equity", or should we say "parasite equity", takes over businesses and makes them nasty — or wipes them out.

• *Stop Private Equity from Driving Retailers into Bankruptcy, Destroying Jobs and Livelihoods.*

  In addition, they destroy useful stores where you can actually buy things, and reduce competition.

• *After an investment firm bought St. Joseph’s Home for the Aged, in Richmond, Virginia, the company reduced staff, removed amenities, and set the stage for a deadly outbreak of COVID-19.*
• When private equity takes over a building, it is likely to become both more expensive and nastier to live in.
