Moreover, Blackstone investors include California public pension funds, like the teachers' fund (CalSTRS) and the Univ. of California retirement plan. So they're unwittingly helping fund the ballot measure.

Blackstone isn't just funding California's Prop 10 - it's doing it with its investor capital, "the equivalent of mutual fund executives taking money out of customers’ accounts to make political contributions."

The economy's still doing well in aggregate, but anecdotally trade disruptions are hammering smaller firms, which over time will just entrench bigger ones. Creating an even more bifurcated economy.

The retail apocalypse determinism crowd must contend with the success of Best Buy. Amazing what a company can do when not burdened by billions in leveraged buyout debt.
