2. Chainsaw Al comes to mind

Albert J. Dunlap

Albert John Dunlap (July 26, 1937 – January 25, 2019) was an American corporate executive.[2][3] He was known at the peak of his career as a professional turnaround management specialist and downsizer. The mass layoffs at his companies earned him the nicknames "Chainsaw Al"[4] and "Rambo in Pinstripes", after he posed for a photo wearing an ammo belt across his chest.[5]

It was later discovered that his reputed turnarounds were elaborate frauds and his career was ended after he engineered a massive accounting scandal at Sunbeam Products, now a division of Newell Brands, that forced the company into bankruptcy.[6]

Dunlap is on the lists of "Worst CEOs of All Time" published by several business publications.[7][8] Fast Company noted that Dunlap "might score impressively on the Corporate Psychopathy checklist"[9][10] and in an interview, Dunlap freely admitted to possessing many of the traits of a psychopath, but considered them positive traits such as leadership and decisiveness.[11][12] He was a major benefactor of Florida State University.[13]

5. Chainsaw Al is a hero to the business titans of today.

The richest people in America have modeled their businesses after Chainsaw Al's methods.

16. There are still people who want old Chainsaw.

I heard he lives in a gated community in Florida and has body guards. He is probably afraid to go out alone.

7. The "Bane"Capital of presidents..

10. It's called Vulture Capitalism

Its' popularity started in the 80's.

[orangecrush]

19. Jack Welsh

Killed General Electric that way.

[blue-wave]

22. Yes indeed.

Mitt Romney and his company Bain Capitol come to mind. Another vulture capitalist know as "Chainsaw Al" was Albert Dunlap. Sadly the list is much longer. Vulture capitalism has and still is destroying corporate America and the lives of many Americans. If we want to blame something for the downfall of the middle class, look at vulture capitalism.

11. It's particularly disgusting and evil when they do it to hospitals...

Case in point: Stewart Health Care. There will be others.
Our nation worships money and the wealthy. That's why the orange satan is our president.

[Wicked Blue]

Fight your own fucking wildland fires.

[Ruby the Liberal]

21. Maybe if they sweep them there won't be any fires

17. That's the only way he knows how to do business.

[FakeNoose]

24. Well Chump's not even doing a good job at liquidating

In fact all he really knows is how to bankrupt the businesses he used to own. He uses other people's (and taxpayers') money to line his own pockets, and he expects praise, gifts and tributes from well-wishers. But he has no idea how to manage a profitable business any more than he can lead a useful government. All these rookie mistakes are being made at our expense.

[Justice matters.]

27. War-criminal liquidator is doing a killing...

The same way Hitler did a killing, but he had the misfortune of not having nuclear (atomic) bombs at his disposal at the time.

[FakeNoose]

28. Oh sure, with all the grifting he's doing since the 2024 campaign, he's made a shit-ton of money

I don't think the liquidation sale is doing him any good though. It's other billionaires and tech-bros that are benefiting from the liquidation, so they will pony up in other ways. Chump can't collect donations for his next campaign because he can't run again.

[GiqueCee]

20. Private Equity...

... is a malignant cancer, modeled after the Mafia's practice of hostile takeovers, selling off assets, and saddling everyone else involved with the crushing debt. It is a corrupt business entity that doesn't deserve to exist.

[Seinan Sensei]

23. And then there's our public money subsidizing private schools

[enigmania]

25. Very succinct, thank you.

[blue_jay]

26. They forgot to list all our public land and national parks nt
