Listening to Gretchen Morgenson talking about her new...

book, "These are the plunderers.." which she wrote with Joshua Rosen.

She mentioned Samsonite and Dunkin, but not Sears or others destroyed by bosses or management groups who bought up stock, drove the price down to buy up more, and cashed out leaving ordinary investors, employees, customers, and providers high and dry.

They, not Amazon or Walmart are destroying us as a nation, although those guys sure aren't helping.

Private equity is the enemy and could be stopped if we stopped whining for a moment and actually did something.

I'm all in, but what? Call Steve Womack and complain? Right. Call Tom Cotton and complain? I'm at a loss.
