btw the keyword you want to search to understand basically all of the 2010s in terms of doctors, hospitals, and a whole lot of other businesses, is leveraged buyout where they can take out a debt and buy a business... with the debt, and then liquidate the business
edit: i misspoke. you give the company the debt that you took out to buy them.
This is what Elon just did to Twitter, he took out a loan of like 12 billion to pay almost a third of the purchase price and then he expects Twitter to pay it back.
In fact, this is the thing to understand about why everything has been going to hell since the 80s. The entire bait and switch that allows the debt to be handed off to people who never wanted it and never agreed to it and never saw a cent of the money borrowed, while the people who take the money get out scot-free, is a mockery of justice. But it's not really new. It's just the logic of empire being brought home. It's exactly the same logic by which Haiti is held to owe France money for having liberated themselves from slavery.
