I wonder what would happen if they pushed to change the definition of autism to conform to their profit motive?

Now they're coming after autists:https://www.brown.edu/news/2026-01-07/private-equity-autism-centers>The findings were published in JAMA Pediatrics and offer one of the first national assessments of private equity’s growing role in autism therapies and services. Autism diagnoses among U.S. children have risen sharply in recent years, nearly tripling between 2011 and 2022, and autism has been in the national spotlight amid political debate claiming links between autism and childhood vaccines.> “We're also dealing with children who are largely insured by Medicaid programs, so if private equity increases the intensity of care, what we're looking at are impacts to state Medicaid budgets down the road.”>This study received funding from the National Institute on Aging (R01AG073286) and the National Institute on Mental Health (R01MH132128).

>>525797957Americans are so brainwashed by (((wallstreet investments))) that private equity has so much money that they don't even know what to do with it. Tax scams are the only profitable business models in 2026 and private equity is willing to buy up anything that makes even a 0.5% rate of return.
