idk why but looking at it that way resolves a lot of bullshit for me, even if I may be uncomfortable with the framing. It's definitely not "starve the beast" -- that's way too charitable. It's just distribute cash to the preferred shareholders, then refinance and fuck the common.

(Also, while I'm a big fan of "most things just emerge by accident instead of a smoke-filled room" I'm having a lot of trouble not yelling "you dumb sack of shit, of course this is how it works, what do you expect to happen with the wall street-ification of everything?")
