First Brands Group bankruptcy :-(

[hatzie]

Vulture capitalists play along a fine line between ethically questionable actions like factoring receivables to raid the business accounts and just screwing up the business while they're recouping their investment cuz they misunderstand how the business works and outright fraud like taking on debt that they don't really intend to pay back.

Raybestos and BrakePro will hurt more than a bit. They manufacture some store brands as well as their own product lines. The lack of competition and supply will drive up prices.

I like Raybestos rotors, drums, shoes, pads, and hardware kits. If the name is purchased likely it'll be a Chinese business trading on the name recognition while employing child labor and using sub-par materials.

Federal Mogul owns Wagner so there's still one USA manufacturer.
