Basically, OP is throwing grenades because he found an obscure article covering a widely discussed topic (that being private equity predation) and thinks he knows something the rest of us don’t.
This is a ridiculous take, and for what should be obvious reasons.
1) Ben Hunt is not "obscure" in the world of financial media, but even if he were, it is the
substance of the article that should be the primary focus, not the author (or platform, etc.). This is an especially important point in today's world, as so many people use the MSM and/or social media as primary, if not exclusive sources of information, and are often grossly misinformed as a result.
2) The fact that private equity predation is a "widely discussed topic" is
completely irrelevant. Virtually
all important topics are widely discussed, and include a very wide range of quality of discussions. The vast majority offer nothing new, and most are of poor quality. In stark contrast, the linked article provides a refreshingly different, and thought-provoking take on a topic. But of course one would need to actually
read the article to understand this.
3) Any criticism of the article (or
any article) by those who have neither taken the time to read it, nor attempted to rebut it in any serious way, suggests either a lack of seriousness, and/or a personal agenda of some kind.
4) Your post confirms that you fall into the above category.
