Fingey Mini: Hot Wheels

from Journey to the Fringe

In this episode, we're tackling a hot topic: how private equity's fire truck roll-up might have fanned the flames of the recent L.A. wildfires. Picture this: dozens of fire trucks sitting idle while fires rage on. Why? Because a private equity firm decided to play monopoly with fire truck manufacturers, driving up prices and causing supply delays.This mini, we're diving into the absurdity of late-stage capitalism, where even fire trucks aren't safe from corporate consolidation. Connect the dots with us to how these practices are not just burning through budgets but also putting lives and the planet at risk. It's a fiery reminder that sometimes, the biggest fires are the ones we can't see.As always Don't forget to like, share, and follow https://www.thebignewsletter.com/p/did-a-private-equity-fire-truck-roll
