Do you understand what the vulture capitalist mean when they say that a company can be made 'more viable'?
It mean it is basically a healthy company making a modest profit with a good debt ratio. By more viable they mean modest profits can be maximized by doing away with employee benefits, employee retirement funds, the employees themselves, company equipment, and the company assets. By more viable they mean more viable profit wise to the CEO, the board members, and the vulture capitalist company that executed the leverage buyout.
So who loses on the deal? The employees, their families, the town the company was located in.
And who wins? The fat cats getting fatter.
