if I was in charge of Toys R Us and thought the wind of change was blowing, I don't know if I would want to sell to private equity because it seems private equity always operates in mercenary, cancer-like fashion.

Private equity destroyed Thames Water too (the UK’s largest water utility)

just seems a bad thing to sell to, and makes the people who took the deal look bad IMO. fuck you, I'm getting my payout and getting mine etc
