That left the retirees very much at risk for problems that might arise from the Athene purchase—there would be no government agency to bail them out, for example, as they’d had in their corporate-sponsored pensions. /3

"Unfolding the napkin" by Dan Roam.
A quick read. Hands-on.
Attractive idea of hooking into the machinery dedicated to processing visual information. Both for thinking through things on your own and for collaborating.
I've had the sensation of "this doesn't fit into my head, I need paper" countless times. Precise wording or an illustration is a high-bandwidth shortcut to understanding. This book helps with this; it's more of a workshop than deep meditations.

“Private equity–backed health care has been a disaster for patients and for doctors,” said Mark Reiter, residency program director of emergency medicine at the University of Tennessee. “Many decisions are made for what’s going to maximize profits for the private equity company, rather than what is best for the patient, what is best for the community.”
