![Graphic reads "The Private Equity Playbook: Instant Pot." Below the heading, text reads: 300+ jobs gone in a 4000 person town. Charleroi, PA had been a glassmaking town since the 19th century. The Pyrex factory there opened in 1893. In 2024, CentreLane [a private equity firm] closed it. Then trump came to town & blamed Haitian immigrants." A quote from me: "A private equity firm comes to town & shutters one of its main employers, but Trump points the finger at immigrants." Then there's an image of a sign that reads "Keep making pyrex in CHarleroi." The graphic is to promote the Art of Citizenry podcast, episode 47 where we talk more about these topics.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qcpjuke63gl25ubinzotixgr/bafkreid3owbqs5qpelzpra5jcov7sbof63x3zyqpssr3d5obik3366nof4)
