5. So says the private equity investor . . .

And he can get away with saying it because there are lots of condos in his old neighborhood? I'm sure that's nice for his old neighborhood. However, " . . . so can the United States flourish"? Your old neighborhood is only so big, you parasitic twat.

I suggest this smug fuck get out of his penthouse apartment and corner office and visit the Dollar General in St. Francis, KS - the only approximation of a grocery store for 35 miles.

He could talk with grocery store customers in Des Moines taking out loans from Klarna to shop, or interact with customers at a car dealership in Phoenix, trying to find anything at all in the way of a reasonably low-mileage used car for less than $25,000.

Maybe he could talk to residents of Waterville, ME, where the hospital just closed, and they're hiring extra EMTs for the extra 30 minutes to Augusta.

But that will never happen. Unlike serial killers, private equity executives never return to the scene of the crimes.
