Private equity groups’ predatory practices actively hurt millions of Americans.
Their leveraged buyouts have destroyed the lives of retail workers across the country, scrapping 1+ million jobs. Now they’re holding @taylorswift13’s own music hostage.
They need to be reigned in.https://twitter.com/taylorswift13/status/1195123215657508867…
It doesn’t stop at music. For people w/ friends or family who worked in retail & suddenly laid off or hours deeply cut (Toys R’ Us, Sears, Sports Authority, etc) & sometimes stripped of severance, that goes back to PE as well. 1+ million jobs destroyed.https://www.forbes.com/sites/andriacheng/2019/07/26/the-high-cost-of-private-equity-firms-retail-buyout-13-mln-jobs-study-finds/#187f56746783…
Best not to look into what Taylor Swift’s dad does if you’re going to use her as a solidarity point
don't blame tayliberal swiift for her republican dad's actions
They need to be regulated because they won't allow Taylor swift to have music she SOLD to them?

“These private-equity firms buy a company, plunder it of any assets, and then send it into bankruptcy without paying employees,” said @EileenAppelbaum,...@ceprdc, who studies private-equity... “To anyone but a bankruptcy court, this looks like a swindle.”
It's all about the 1933 and 1934 exchange and security acts and the sophisticated investor, and qualified institutional investors provision that creates Income inequality and restricts private business from access to capital so they sell out for money and get raped
I support anyone who limits the amount of objectively bad Taylor Swift music we have to be subjected to.
lmao the reason they bought her music is because of how valuable it is and how rich it will make them
oh FUCK yes thanks @AOC
Just when I though I couldn’t absolutely love her anymore...comes through hard.
