If you& #39;re interested in why Wall Street banks propped Trump - and how they play those games with massive debt, which gets forgiven - it& #39;s in my latest Game Theory Today podcast. https://megaphone.link/STA9234013086 ">https://megaphone.link/STA923401...
If you want a deconstruction - rarely if ever done in public - of junk bond debt, check out my work on how Guitar Center gutted the musical instrument industry. https://www.ericgarland.co/2015/02/03/end-guitar-center/">https://www.ericgarland.co/2015/02/0...

But the COVID Capitalists destroyed it all the same.

And they& #39;re the same people destroying democracy. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/23/business/guitar-center-is-preparing-for-a-possible-bankruptcy-filing.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/2...
