Private equity bosses took $200m out of Toys R Us and crashed the company, lifetime employees got $0 in severance

Private equity’s favorite shell game is to take over profitable businesses, sell off their assets, con banks into loaning them hundreds of millions of dollars, cash out in the form of bonuses and dividends, then let the businesses fail and default on their debts.

The result is the retail apocalypse, where predatory giants like Walmart and Amazon are able to topple their vulture-capitalist-weakened prey, creating a feedback loop that enriches the shareholder class and destroys American businesses, leaving workers high and dry.

The (current) poster child for this con game is Toys R Us, whose private equity owners borrowed more than $5 billion to buy the company (with a $400 million annual debt service plan). The new owners quickly took the company into bankruptcy, defaulting on that giant debt, after paying themselves $200 million (including tens of millions in performance bonuses to the C-suite in the same year the company declared bankruptcy).

Now the company has announced that it will also default on all severance payouts to the company’s 30,000 employees, including employees who worked at the company for decades, skipping Christmas and Thanksgiving with their families to staff the stores, now slated to get literally not one penny.

My friends and I often discuss what we’d do if we suddenly became disgusting rich, and the usual stuff is that we’d use our money to fix some human rights issues we’ve been following and to help our loved ones etc. and then generally live a modest life but in a nice house so

I’ve started making my friends also choose one ridiculous thing they’d want to have if they were like absolutely bonkers rich. One of those rich people things that would be reported about in tabloids and it would be so superfluous it would nauseate the masses.

Personally I’d have someone wash my hair and choose my outfit every morning. I truly think the height of luxury is having someone to do ur hair and makeup. My friend would have an owlery.

What would your nauseatingly rich indulgence be

I don’t know about you but I’m so sick of that omnipresent association of sports/fitness with weight loss as the ultimate goal.

(PS: I’m not sure how efficient punching people is for building muscle mass but I’m afraid she’s had a lot of opportunities so I guess four pounds is probably realistic?)

So they found this adorable little dinosaur called Anchiornis

See those feathers? The skeleton they found was so well-preserved that scientists were able to examine the pigment cells in the feathers and compare them to those of modern day birds.

And they were able to do this with such accuracy that they know the coloration of this dinosaur. In life it looked something like this.

It just baffles me that we know the color patterns of an animal that has been dead for 161 million years

Laika: Has actual physical limitations that make it VERY DIFFICULT to design and animate chubby/fat/large characters and varying body types due to legitimate technological limits.

Laika: WORKS THEIR ASSES OFF TO DO IT ANYWAY

Basically don’t ever try to argue with me that Laika isn’t THE BEST.
