RIGHT WING DECLARES WAR ON IVF: Alabama Supreme Court rules IVF embryos are protected under Wrongful Death of a Minor Act

We all knew this was coming and [#Alabama](https://kbin.social/tag/Alabama) is the first to outlaw IVF. I think they're in for a surprise because there's a lot of right wingers who use [#FertilityTreatments](https://kbin.social/tag/FertilityTreatments) [\#GQP](https://kbin.social/tag/GQP) [#Republicans](https://kbin.social/tag/Republicans) [#IVF](https://kbin.social/tag/IVF) [https://1819news.com/news/item/alabama-supreme-court-rules-ivf-embryos-are-protected-under-wrongful-death-of-a-minor-act](https://1819news.com/news/item/alabama-supreme-court-rules-ivf-embryos-are-protected-under-wrongful-death-of-a-minor-act)

    I keep seeing people saying that there can be connections between kbin and Lemmy to Mastodon but I can't figure it out.

    Also I haven't figured out the way to connect startrek.website to kbin either

  • Instant Brands — maker of the Instant Pot — files for bankruptcy
  • KBSez KBSez 1y ago 100%

    It appears that some private equity banker bros talked Instant Pot into a $450 Million Dollar loan in 2021 and then paid themselves $245 million of it.

    https://archive.is/LsqUp

    Private Equity. Instant Pot had great cashflow but slowing sales, so the PE owners issued $450M in new debt and then immediately paid out $250M in dividends to themselves resulting in the company carrying 8x leverage compared to the 4x it had prior to the financial engineering. Further slowing sales and all the cash being stripped from the company ends up with bankruptcy every time.

    These are the same kind of people who bought Toys R Us, filled it with debt from other companies they owned made millions and then killed the company and left their employees high and dry.
