They’re doing dentists, funeral homes, you name it. Buy it up, tear it apart, let it fail. Lather, rinse, repeat. Red Lobster and Toys R Us are other classic examples.

Philz…was sold to Los Angeles-based private equity firm Freeman Spogli for $145 million in August of last year.

Private equity are a cancer. Everything they touch dies.
