Is this a fair depiction of what Sycamore did with their Staples buyout (good luck making that happen haha)?pic.twitter.com/B6KEQ5BkaU

We do recognize that employees are to some extent creditors, and require employers to fund pension insurance. But that's not the point being made when you complain about a PE company screwing over creditors (or having the theoretical ability to, as above.)
VC is about the creation of something new. PE is supposed to be about taking something old and making it better but oftentimes seems to be less of that and more about financial engineering over value creation.

You keep changing what the complaint is. If someone buys a company and makes money, then the company is now worth more than they paid for it. Why are some ways of doing that "value creation" and others not?

You wrote a lot, so I skimmed it and tried to keep it simple. According to you, me selling you a dollar for a buck fifty is value creation. To me, it's not. It's bullshit. Value creation is what happens when you invent something new for example.
