If #PrivateEquity is sniffing around your industry or sector of the economy it says nothing good about the business.

It means a bunch of shittily run operations are producing excess free cash flow in their operating account and there is potential for them to generate a whole lot more.

The business “play” is to lever up (i.e. via loans), and then siphon off enough to pay down the debt, before flipping to the next buyer.

I was trying not to give the Critical Drunk clicks, but people are starting to play the "Someone misquoted something Critical Drunk said to Weir! Weir never said that!" game. So now you all have to watch the clip of what they both said for yourselves. 🤷🏿‍♂️

CD: ...and you don't try to shove crappy identity politics into it

Weir: Right

CD: You end up with a goddam great movie at the end of it...

Weir: I think, you and me, we're kind of on the same wavelength there when it comes to fiction writing...

Weir: ...You don't have to worry about *mocking voice* *cupping hands over mouth* THE MESSAGE! 🤣

CD: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I like how you did that!

Weir: *that post mock clarity hits* 🤔...I'm not sure how that came across...

CD: No, it came great!

Weir: OK good!

The defining characteristic of domestic policy in the United States is racism. It’s literally why we can’t have nice things.

Every time some practice doesn’t make sense from the war on drugs to how education is funded, Trump getting elected twice or the lack of universal healthcare, you can trace the roots back to racism.

People would rather be kings in hell than risk being servants in heaven.

Let's do this.

Yes, I am aware your child was AFAB.

No, that child isn’t a “tomboy”.

They present as a boy.

The child says they are a boy.

They say they are uncomfortable presenting female.

You should listen to them.
