Скачать или смотреть The Real Reason Toys R Us Died and Hospitals Are Next | Macro Scope

Do you remember Toys R Us, and the moment it vanished from American life
In 2025 and 2026, a darker pattern is spreading from retail into health care
This is a data driven economics documentary about debt, incentives, and power structures
We explain why healthy companies collapse after buyouts, and why hospitals can be next
If you care about inequality, debt driven systems, and why parts of America feel broken, this is for you

We start with a familiar case and trace how leverage turned a profitable business into a hollow shell
Then we slow down the machine behind it, the leveraged buyout, and how debt loading rewires a company overnight
We follow the cash inside boardrooms where spreadsheets replace long term planning and interest becomes the first priority
Next comes asset stripping, when land and buildings are sold and the company rents back what it used to own
That extraction model does not stop at retail, it moves into nursing homes and emergency rooms where vulnerability is predictable cash flow
We examine research cited from 2021 showing staffing declines after private equity acquisitions and a measurable rise in mortality in nursing homes
We connect the incentives, short holding periods and higher exit multiples reward cost cutting over care and trust
We then follow the roll up strategy, where dozens of local clinics are quietly consolidated until pricing power appears and alternatives fade
Finally we look at the legal scaffolding, including carried interest, and why the system can remain policy compliant while communities absorb the losses
The takeaway is not ideology, it is structure, and once you see it, you can start making better decisions about where your money lands
