Blackstone: Benefiting from Improving Economic Trends

I work for a company that is owned in great part by BX. They are corrupt and have no concept of the lack of management at many of their holdings. It's all about accounting, smoke and mirrors and sucking the common man in. As a formerly great country, why do we allow this type of people and practices bring about our slow downfall?

Animal Rights Activists Take Anti-Novartis Protest Too Far

While I agree that the actions of this group of animal rights activists are completely wrong (and criminal), don't be so easily deceived. Novartis does have enough skeletons in its closet when it comes to animal rights violations (and probably other testing that would also raise an eyebrow).

FDIC's Crisis Mode Pressures Blackstone

As a victim (employee) of a Blackstone spunoff company, I think the extra restrictions are a good step in regulating these parasites (private equity firms). Everyone wants a free lunch and it is this short term, "do a cosmetic fix and dump the problem on someone else" attitude that has degraded America and got us into this huge mess in the first place.

It is disappointing to see there are folks out there like you that still support this destructive and shortsighted behavior. Let's hope your genes arent passed down through the gene pool.
