It's actually the most Pessoa-like read in the Saramago canon. I don't read much fiction these days, but the last decade has seen me dig into my own roots with Portuguese authors, of which many seem to harbor similar ambitions of

No, but they shouldn't be allowed to not act as fiduciaries, and do what they do now, which is to load debt, do bolloxed sell-lease contracts, and basically take money from all sides, and screw everyone else into a pulp. It's a ga

"Sadly, I’ve been through the PE takeover experience." Same (more than once)...in both cases there were a few positives and a cavalcade of negatives, with the latter category expanding like a famished amoeba. I could fix the whole

Complexity across providers and regulatory compliance are my most likely guesses.

The mistake is to trust either. The areas where one should scrutinize either may have deltas, but there is massive overlap between both (and really, all of the industry big players) on "trust"
