private equitied

When a company, service, or institution is gutted, hollowed out, or otherwise destroyed after being acquired by private equity — usually through layoffs, cost-cutting, asset stripping, innovative accounting practices, or other forms of short-term profit extraction. A more financially precise version of enshitified.

That hospital was private equitied so hard even the IVs have sponsorships.

Privateer of Uncertainty

I think you have a chance. I hear they're a bold privateer of uncertainty. Offer to buy them a grog and see where it goes.

Private Equity

A company run by idiots who buy up their favorite childhood companies or important and basic services so that they can bankrupt the company or drive up the prices of the services just to make a quick buck

Person 1: Hey, what happened to Toys R' Us and Sears? Why are ambulances and homes so expensive in the U.S?
Person 2: Private Equity, man. Bought up all those companies and services so that they could ruin them for a few dollars.
