We know how this Blackstone/PNM proposal plays out... extreme profits to Wall Street (and Saudia Arabia) investors while New Mexicans don't get a seat at the table in decisions about our own energy future. Hard pass.

Why are private equity investors buying up fostering agencies & homes in England?

Well, if you think its because they have a better idea of how to support & enhance the well-being of vulnerable your people, you're an incurable optimist.

What the PE firms see is a sector where fee income can be increased easily & money siphoned out of the system to feed investors' 'need' for returns.

Once again we are seeing profiteering on the backs of the vulnerable!

Engadget: Vimeo lays off most of its staff just months after being bought by private equity firm. “Vimeo just got hit by a brutal round of layoffs, according to a report by Business Insider. Staffers are posting on various social media sites that the layoffs have impacted most of the company, including the entire video team. Vimeo is a video-hosting platform, so that sounds bad.”

@claudius Na so ein Zufall, dass auch hier #PrivateEquity in Form von #ThomaBravo hintersteckt, die #Sophos seinerzeit geschluckt haben:

Schaut mann dann mal auf das Portfolio, kommen da auch Companies wie Darktrace, N-Able, nintex oder Proofpoint drin vor.

Ja, das Netz ist kaputt.... #PE #diday
