Each episode reveals how these acquisitions drive up costs, cut quality, and reshape our communities.


These episodes are currently AI-generated and based on my research and writings. Hopefully, the format will change to me and someone else presenting these topics, but that is currently not feasible due to time and financial constraints. Even though the commentary is not as biting as I would like in a lot of areas, the current AI-generated format is decent in at least spreading the gospel of the private equity heathens that are ruining our economy.


Sources and my research outlines for each episode are available upon request.


Take Care,
