they increase productivity, which is one of the most important part of the real economy, separates a lot of grueling manual labor while starving (so the Malthusian state) from having so much economic surplus that we have the opposite of starving in advanced economies.
it seems you are mixing up leveraged buyouts with PE
PE is investing. Limited partners give pool some money, the manager is the general partner, they also put some money into the pool, to align incentives, and that's it.
Everything else is not PE itself, but whatever strategy the fund has, or whatever deal some traders have came up.
> For example, EU pension funds allocate just 0.02% of total assets to VC, compared with almost 2% for US pension funds. And this percentage is applied to a much larger asset base: over 140% of GDP in the United States compared with around 30% in the EU.

It makes sense to have separate entry points for landing pages, no need for fancy providers and heavy imports.
In practice people are more than willing to wait for an SPA to load if it works well (figma, gmail/gdocs, discord's browser version used to be pretty good too, and then of course there are the horrible counter-examples AWS/GCP control panels, and so on).
the relevant facts would be, whether this guy has a criminal record. the rest is (legal) bullshit.
laws are a (social) technology, enforcing them blindly is just as stupid as any kind of extremism, like "just ban private property" or "just let the market sort it out" and everything in between, and around. ("yes, all men" and so on.)
after all there are laws about detention too. if I were DHS I'd be very afraid not to get picked up by law enforcement for breaking them. oh wait. :(
and yes, there's a political goal. the polity wants to remove some people. the machinery is set to work. still, there are better and worse ways to do this. keeping this guy in this hunger games box is more expensive and less humane than putting him on a plane to Ireland.

That's just your opinion, and a controversial one.

And honestly, detention conditions/process along with ICE tactics are where the focus should be, which are egregious and unacceptable and there seems like a consensus against them. But it's overreach to try to delegitimize all deportations or those of non-criminals, and that works against addressing the more serious issues. IMHO, polarization and overreach in the other direction gives the ICE abuses more cover than they'd otherwise get.

Honestly, I think that could probably happen pretty fast if the guy wanted it. It seems like this guy is fighting his deportation through a PR campaign (e.g. drum up sympathetic coverage and hope that the rules are bent for the white guy).
I have to say I don't feel this huge shared experience with many service industry workers. Especially over the phone. We barely speak the same language!
not to mention that "failed" implies that somehow death is not part of life. sure, going when we prefer would be better, and our descendants eventually will have this in some shape or form (digital uploads and backups and whatnot), but for now we have what we have.
