"Education Management, which is based in Pittsburgh and is 41 percent owned by Goldman Sachs"
Excuse my french but holy fucking shit. Is there anything these scumbags DON'T have their hands in? Energy, Finance, Housing, now we find out about Education.
What's it going to take to arrest these people already? How many people have they screwed over in their never ending quest for pure profits?
- Cushman 15y agoEasy answer: You forgot "Government."
- gamble 15y agoThe financial industry represents a third of American corporate profits. Goldman Sachs is the most prominent player in the financial industry. Like Britain, the US is quickly becoming simply a hedge fund, with a government attached. With practically no constraints on corporate money entering politics and voters perpetually responsive to political advertising, I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for politicians to seriously take on the most powerful, influential industry in the country, by far.
- yuhong 15y ago>voters perpetually responsive to political advertising Maybe not anytime soon, but perpetually?
- khafra 15y ago"Perpetually" means "always, continually." US voters are very reliably responsive to political advertising; media campaigns seldom fail to swing opinion in the direction they want to.
- jkeel 15y agoAs soon as I saw Goldman Sachs, I thought, "oh great, not again". I see them in the news so much and always with some sort of activity that appears should be illegal yet nothing ever comes of them. What gives?
