I think leveraged buyouts should be illegal. If you want to buy a company? Fine, you can do that, but the debt has to be on you and cannot be transferred to the company you're buying. The company you're buying would make money, not lose it.

Man, those institutional investors buying up the sunbelt will be in for a RUDE awakening in 10-15 years when those homes plummet in value because the pavement outside is melting in the summer.

I don't think the price gouging is a the end of the chain, the retailers, and is more at the bottom and middle of the chain, like food processors, and most importantly, the oil industry the fuels it all.

@sirrathersplendid4825 Currently? Yes. But I think they should be able to make sure shell transactions illegal as well. I was just watching a video about the Alex Jones trial, and the decision in that case had a lot of "anti-loophole" wording to it, to try and prevent shuffling assets away from where it could be accessed by the plaintiffs. I think that if congress really wanted to seriously stop this problem, they could involve wording that would prevent any chain of liability that could be broken and escaped. As an aside, I also think that this is why recent SCOTUS decisions weakening the power of federal regulators to decide things on their own is so dangerous. These systems are way too agile for congress to keep up with them using legislation alone, which is why they need to legislate executive branch actors the power to move on their own to solve these loopholes in realtime.
