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. theguardian.com/us-news/2018/o…

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." theguardian.com/us-news/2018/o…

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. jsonline.com/story/money/20…

I reserve the right to point to that new-ish policy if it has a material impact, which it probably will since it undermines Best Buy's core selling point.

This is just exploitation, usually of vulnerable countries, to extract cash. "It's a jackpot for speculators." I wrote about this 2 years ago. huffingtonpost.com/entry/isds-law…

I'm also not defending every single Best Buy decision. I'm saying they lucked into getting the one big thing right- not selling out to private equity.

If this is what you're talking about, they eliminated 400 remote positions and gave those workers jobs within the company. The net domestic job loss was zero. startribune.com/best-buy-elimi…

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. theweek.com/articles/80280…
