2. Private Equity has been selling efficiency vs. quality. The CEO

gets a good bonus or the head(s) of the PE get to keep every profit over 8% per year so there is great incentive to run the business, or entity into the ground so there is more profit for them in the short term. The investors get the first 8%. Somehow we managed to live happily as a society before workers were told they were not allowed bathroom breaks till lunch, so they couldn't have a coffee in the morning. It was the 20th Century and most people did better than the centuries before. It is lack of quality of life that is going on too for workers as well as the customers/clients. Everyone's quality of life goes down as things are made more efficient. Except the ceos, investors in the private equity and the head of the PE.
