Join our Zoom screening of "Stripped for Parts: American Journalism on the Brink" followed by discussion with Director Rick Goldsmith. Stripped for Parts is the story of a secretive hedge fund that is plundering what is left of America’s newspapers, and the journalists who are fighting back. Hedge fund Alden Global Capital is quietly gobbling up newspapers across the country and gutting them, but no one knows why– until journalist Julie Reynolds begins to investigate. Her findings trigger rebellions across the country by journalists working at Alden-owned newspapers. Backed by the NewsGuild union, the newsmen and women go toe-to-toe with their “vulture capitalist” owners in a battle to save and rebuild local journalism in America. Who will control the future of America’s news ecosystem: Wall Street billionaires concerned only with profit, or those who see journalism as an essential public service, the lifeblood of our democracy?

It really does appear that we’re entering a new period of neo-feudalism, with billionaires, corporations (now deemed people) and hedge funds as our new overlords. The above mentioned culprits own massive amounts of housing, which is why rents keep going up; they own grocery stores, which is why food inflation and shrinkflation are so common; and they largely own our health care system, from hospitals to nursing homes. It’s long past time to break up these obvious monopolies and tax the rich - to avoid a popular uprising and the steady march toward serfdom for the middle class. #politics #Capitalism #feudalism #economics #Billionaires #HedgeFunds #Corporations #Exploitation

You are not wrong:

“Institutional investors — such as #HedgeFunds, #PrivateEquity firms, and endowments — owned an estimated 574,000 properties as of June 2022, according to the Urban Institute. For reference, Realtor.com data revealed a total of 754,846 active property listings in November 2023.”

Investment firms own 75% of the available #American #housing stock for sale.

Appallng:

Last year, regulators issued a rule requiring #hedgefunds & #privateequity firms to better disclose how they spend investors’💰-designed to prevent WS from stealing the retirement savings of public-sector workers. Then WS lobbyists got a Trump-packed court to block the disclosure rule. Now -often using investors’💰to finance execs’ private jet travel. Public pensions are largest investors in PE funds: “31.3% of all investors & contributing 67%” of the capital.

Hedge funds, PE firms... are vultures, employees are the 1st to go:

"A hedge fund bought the co, sold off all the land Red Lobster restaurants are located on, leased the land back to Red Lobster, & jacked the rent. Just so you know what is really going on here."
-M McDonald

Darden sold Red Lobster in 2014 to private equity firm Golden Gate Capital for $2.1B. It parted with its remaining stake in the chain in 2020, selling to Thai Union Group.

Janis Hashe: #Coal Fight Far From Scuttled: New data quantifies projected health harms

"The twists and turns of the fight over the proposed #Oakland Bulk and Oversized Terminal (OBOT), and the developer’s plan to use it to export coal, are far from over. This despite a fight that extends back at least a decade.

A proposal to export coal through Oakland, as reported by environmental organization Earthjustice, was revealed by an April 2015 story in a small Utah newspaper, the Richfield Reaper, which reported that four Utah coal-producing counties were combining to invest in a “new West Coast export terminal.” That this was OBOT was confirmed by a memo obtained through a public record request."
