What the fuck is scary? And "greed" again is subjective. GTFOH.

Name three things in this article that "scare" you and explain why, in detail.

Well gee, if you can't figure out why this is scary then maybe you don't have any regard for the lives of the employees at the companies that he basically robbed.
Going forward, I guess I would say its scary that companies that are struggling are duped into thinking that they will be bought out and turned around or helped when really they are being sucked dry and stuck with the bill.
I assume both pp's are the same person and really have no idea that this candidate is morally bankrupt, and they are ok with that I guess

Op back again, just really bothered by the fact that pp's don't find it scary that major corporations like Bain just grind up these companies and function in such an unethical manner.
I personally am scared by large companies that have no value for people and their livelihood.
Really, can't even bear to know that others think this is ok...

I agree, OP. I think the human dimension is often lost when powerful people put their money and influence into extolling the importance of "wealth creation" and the "free market," which really isn't free when government does not regulate it to ensure fairness and transparency.

I read that article, and I am not sure whether "scared" or "outraged" is a better term for how I felt about a group using borrowed funds to go in and manipulate a company, and whether they help or hurt it, come out with a profit.

When they succeed, even if they actually contributed something useful, I think it's fair to point to the company and say "You didn't build that." But when they fail, in at least some of the cases, it sounds like it would have been accurate to say "You killed that."

People rape, rob and shoot people every day, too. Does that make it OK?

Bain's business model is repulsive and the #1 reason I won't ever vote for him.

And P.S. if your company was on their list, you'd feel real different.

Op here, who the hell said I was a woman???
Looks like your the dumbass here
And yes I understand buying a company, but this sounds more like a scheme along the lines of a ponzi scheme
