Don't forget the companies where Private Equity swoops in and takes all their money.
We seem to be squarely in the "loot all the well known brands, take whatever is not nailed down, and leave their carcasses by the side of the road" stage of Capitalism.
It seems that every brand starts out with noble intentions, then after rising to meteoric success, they get gutted and we have to wait for the new, high quality up start.
