Hundreds of private equity firms are lumbering on years after their funds’ intended twilight with no new fundraising in sight — a cohort investors and regulators dub “zombies.” They saddle pensions with tough choices: bloomberg.com/news/features/… @Layanmazenodeh @theLinlyShow

Worth noting that it doesn't translate to $4.6k extra in people's savings account. Some money is saved; some is spent elsewhere. Office hubs like Manhattan are feeling the pinch. A big question mark lingers - what's the future of big cities as people persist in working remotely?

Why there’s a shortage of gelatin? Because not as many cattle are being slaughtered… because not as many cars are being made following a chip shortage. The demand for cow’s hides to make automotive leather has gone down. OMG! #podcastnotes podcasts.google.com?feed=aHR…

Our exclusive Bloomberg News analysis offers clues on the value of startups backed by hedge funds' billions. The findings aren't reassuring. A months-long collaboration effort with @parmarhema & @NBuhayar bloomberg.com/graphics/2023-…

Earlier this year, a couple of us @Business sat down to try and make sense of what's been going on with the US opioid crisis over the last few years. We noticed something curious. In 2018, for the first time in two decades, US overdose deaths actually *declined.* A thread:

When corporate giants proclaim massive greenhouse gas emission cuts, be skeptical. @ben_elgin and I write about an accounting loophole that companies use to buy cheap credits to claim cuts that don't really help the environment. Analysis using @CDP data. bloomberg.com/news/features/…

Just how bad 2022 has been for the markets and tech firms? A look into the status quo of US IPOs, based on my data crunching: California has been generating the most IPOs of any US state every year since 2003. That streak could end this year. bloomberg.com/news/articles/… via @markets

One hundred years ago, the Osage Nation had tremendous land and wealth. “In Trust” is the story of the tribal nation’s efforts to recover what was lost, sold and stolen. Listen to the new podcast from Bloomberg Investigations September 6: trib.al/tsunMnV
