    You should've put nebula in the title ... "maybe it was on the thumbnail I missed it not sure don't think so" ... Reason being I almost didn't click on this video but it looked interesting enough but if it said nebula I would've instantly clicked on it .... Because I really like nebula. I mean it's cheap but it provides so much value . I would probably pay more for it .. I love the idea of it. I haven't watched the video yet. I just had to comment this once I found out it was nebula because I was so excited .... lol ... I am a dumb commenter ..

    A woman took her three-year-old son to the dentist for a checkup, and the dentist, without even taking x-rays, said he needed seven root canals. Unfortunately, she trusted the expert. Of course it was an office in a dental chain backed by private equity, so it had to meet its revenue targets. There have been reports from former employees in different offices in this dental chain that talk about drilling healthy teeth, unneeded procedures, morning huddles of how they (the office) were going to meet their revenue targets for that day. Treating to insurance. Just one example of the horrific consequences resulting from the perverse incentives of private equity. But if you have a job with retirement plans or pensions, it's hard to know where any of that goes, and some of it for sure going to private equity. So it's like we eat ourselves. I think Benjamin Lay had a lot figured out.

    I pay for almost nothing. I buy nearly nothing and focus on what I have, and what can be done with it. Big corporations, government, and the like will always be opposed to that, though. This shows their interest in anything but the people's well being. No surprises there.

    What a strange video. Americans normally place the dollar sign to the left of the price, yet here the dollars signs are placed to the right of the price. It's almost like all the production was done in some low cost offshore country like India for example. Other than that the production is acceptable. The non-standard US pronunciation of route and especially buoyed is distracting.

    There's no mystery here. It's just the capitalistic myth that maximizing instantaneous efficiency is synonymous with maximizing utility to society. Extra is not always waste, and cutting things down until something is JUST working is a great way to make it APPEAR to work better on paper at the detriment of clientele and employees' wellbeing alike. Essentially that has happened to the entirety of society. Everything is 'working', on a knife's edge - which makes for great economic figures and grim lives. It's gotten to the point of affecting things like population stability, so I guess things are finally coming to a head.

    If visitors numbers rise, so does revenue- as such, so should expenditures in maintaining those locations. Don't blame the people so much the ones not managing it properly. I'm happy to see Americans go outside. A mountain is...just that, a mountain. It doesn't have feelings. This whole video sounds very elitist. "Too many people are outside near what I like to do" ... "Raise the prices" is the next thing that'll be asked. Price out average Americans from doing the stuff that before only the privilege were allowed to do.

    Unrelated to private equity, but in reference to the whole "outside people who have no flesh in game come buy company". I worked for an cybersecurity company bought out by a firm dealing mostly in dental products. Best thing ever, as they never understood a damn thing we did and just let us be, and GROW. Then, another publicly traded cybersecurity company bought us out in a levered buy out, downsized, changed our name (which was a gold standard in the industry) and axed many projects to "synergize" -- mush -- products together. Company has been total shit ever since. Stock down 40%. Left a year after buyout.

  • @fraziercrawford

    Thiiiiiis is why voting is a scam/distraction from real action. You can't vote at work. You SHOULD be able to vote at work, but we can't. Employees can't vote on a buyout, or layoffs, or even whether or not the toilet paper supply gets re-ordered for the month. Unjustifiable hierarchies of power have reduced us down to wage-slaves and put laws in place to keep us from organizing amongst ourselves.i don't even know what to do. I know what needs DOING. We just all need to not go into work for 30 days, nation-wide. But no one has 30 days of food in their bank account, let alone utilities and rent. I'm positive there's enough cash left in circulation for a general strike to work but it's not possible on a coordination level. There's DEFINITELY not enough cash left in circulation for any local strike to work. No building full of people contains enough cash to support those people for 30 straight days. I don't know what to do. I'm spending all my money on medical procedures that aren't fixing my nerve damage and just waiting for the pain to get bad enough to justify terminal action.

    The best part is yet to come. Since Bukele is a a real man with integrity, he’s going to re-establish democracy eventually, and he won’t want to re-establish the previous flawed system. When this happens, I predict this system will be one of the most democratic in the world, and hopefully an example for the first world to follow.
