California-born, perpetually pissed. Progressive, anti-fascist, and allergic to billionaire BS. Trump’s a menace, Elon’s a Wi-Fi clown, and society’s circling the drain—unless we fight. Question everything, accept nothing, never settle for decline.

Walgreens going private in a $10B deal with Sycamore Partners. Historically, private equity takeovers often lead to cost-cutting and increased debt, sometimes ending in bankruptcy. Hope this isn't another case where the company gets milked dry before collapsing.
