BBC News | Why illegal children's homes are being paid up to £2m per child by councils AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Illegal children’s homes—unregistered, uninspected facilities that are nonetheless being funded by local councils—are costing up to £2 million per child a year, with some placements paying £13,000 a week for a single teenager. Investigations reveal squalid conditions, inadequate staffing and the use of makeshift premises such as caravans, narrowboats and ordinary houses, yet councils continue to place vulnerable youths there because a shortage of specialist, legally‑registered homes leaves them with no alternatives for children with complex needs. Despite a 2021 ban on under‑16s in unregulated homes, around 800 children are still housed illegally, a figure driven by a booming private‑sector market, profiteering providers, and a fragmented regulatory system that has failed to enforce the ban. The resulting taxpayer waste diverts funds from early‑intervention services, prompting calls for stricter regulation, more publicly‑run homes, and a shift toward non‑profit providers to protect the most vulnerable children.

📊 Bain Capital закрив азійський фонд на $10,5 млрд — вище за початкову ціль. Це найбільший приватний фонд регіону за останні роки, що свідчить про апетит інституційного капіталу до Азії попри геополітичну напругу. Паралельно Strategy купила Bitcoin ще на $2 млрд — найбільша одноразова закупівля компанії. В умовах невизначеності зі ставками, корпорації обирають різні стратегії: одні йдуть у private equity з фокусом на зростання, інші — у криптоактиви як альтернативу резервам. Для українського інвестора це сигнал: великі гравці диверсифікуються між традиційними ринками капіталу та цифровими активами. Варто стежити за тим, чи повторить хтось із технологічних гігантів стратегію Strategy. #BainCapital #PrivateEquity #Bitcoin #Strategy #Інвестиції #Crypto #Азія #virgroup https://vir.group/post/116595704827453191

NBC News Top Stories | The revolt against i-Ready: Private equity-backed company faces parent, teacher and student fury by Tyler Kingkade AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The article details a growing backlash against i‑Ready, the private‑equity‑backed educational software used by nearly 14 million U.S. students, as parents, teachers, and students nationwide describe it as boring, time‑consuming, and ineffective. Critics argue the repetitive cartoon animations, mandatory voice‑overs, and “black‑box” assessments provide little insight for educators, waste up to 90 minutes of class time each week, and fail to improve test scores despite the program’s promise to identify struggling learners. Districts such as Los Angeles Unified have launched audits and faced protests, while some families opt their children out entirely. Curriculum Associates defends i‑Ready by citing internal research and modest revenue growth, but acknowledges mixed results and promises incremental product tweaks, even piloting an AI‑driven reading‑assessment feature. The controversy reflects broader concerns over excessive screen time and the accountability of ed‑tech companies whose impact on student achievement remains unproven.

I am becoming more and more convinced that Capitalism isn't even a zero sum game any more. It's a negative sum one. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/apr/07/capitalism-endgame-private-equity-captured-nurseries-care-homes #Economics #Privatisation #PrivateEquity #PassiveIncome #WealthExtraction

Digital health founders are systematically optimistic about the FDA. Are you prepared for the reality? 📉 When a pitch deck claims a "6-month 510(k) pathway" or a "simple wellness classification," how do you independently verify it?

"Now, more than a year after the company filed for bankruptcy in January 2025, a new layer of harm has emerged: Prospect had promised to provide malpractice coverage for its hospitals and many of its doctors, but court filings show it set aside no money to pay those costs — or to compensate injured patients." https://www.propublica.org/article/prospect-medical-malpractice-bankruptcy-hospitals-doctors-philadelphia via @ProPublica@newsie.social #healthcare #hospitals #malpractice #insurance #PrivateEquity #business
