    Now when I think of Blackstone, I won't think of a heartless corporation squeezing failing companies for every penny they're worth before abandoning them and the employees. I'll think of the office. hahahahaha

      Dont forget buying up real estate from private owners then gauging rent prices and running slum lord properties that you have to harass them to fix anything that breaks like a sewer mainline back up that spews raw sewage into your sink tub and toilets if you dare run water and let's it stay like that for 5 days before finally sending a plumber ( yes personal experience I'm biased they are dog shit) so grateful not to have them as slumlords anymore

      It's a staple of these firms really, they have no intention of managing/creating businesses because that limits the profit/employee ratio. Their model is focused on amassing wealth and ownership to take money from poor people and pass it to shareholders while taking a slice.
