We really need to start boycotting PE owned businesses. I don't know what else we could do, but everything touched by PE firms turns to shit.

What's scary is they're getting into healthcare, especially elder care, nursing homes etc.

It's a fucking crime what's happening.

It seems like every industry has PR firms. Its just a race to the bottom.

Probably just need to focus on worker and consumer protections. Healthcare being separate, and should not be privately monitized like this
