You're bringing your own conclusions to this, I never said anything about regulation.

I was just responding to OP who said that PE plundering via debt loading is only the lender's problem when things don't work out, and I assert that it is not.

Employees often pay a much more impactful price when PE-driven cuts occur (whether by design or because the plan failed).

I assume the person you answered is saying that level of risk taking should be regulated. Not that no level of risk should be allowed if they have to fire people. Surely there is a point where you want some guardrails, so the C-suite has to at least take in account their employees as part of their risk assessment

I don’t see it.

Is the idea that big companies take too many risks today? If so, I’d love to see data, because the usual knock on big companies is they become dinosaurs and risk-averse, and therefore stop innovating and eventually get displaced by upstarts.
