Search Kagi for 1980s leveraged buyout and/or corporate raiders to get a start understanding how PE operate. Then realize that they have since optimized (profits must go up) upon that model of extraction at all costs for almost 40 years, and rebranded as PE for optics. In 1980s Reagan/Yuppie/money obsessed America these guys were considered scum. In 2025 'the line must go up' America they are everywhere and considered 'you just have to accept them as part of capitalism' (even though 1980s Reagan America rejected them.)
