Bain Capital? The Bain Capital? Ugh.
In his 2009 book The Buyout of America: How Private Equity Is Destroying Jobs and Killing the American Economy, Josh Kosman described Bain Capital as "notorious for its failure to plough profits back into its businesses," being the first large private-equity firm to derive a large fraction of its revenues from corporate dividends and other distributions.
My year in junior high literally had to take basketweaving one semester, because the school's funding kept getting cut year after year, until the school board capitulated to bring in French Immersion (as I recall; this was a long time ago, and I'm old. It was in Alberta).
Funding was being used to force the school board or parent-teacher committee or whatever...
In 7th grade, there were like 3 options we could choose from each semester; then 8th grade, 2; then 9th grade, just one 'option'.
It's pretty rich for politicians to accuse students of slacking, when the options are literally defunded in their schools.
