One of these friends said Ms. Holmes had genuine intentions at Theranos and didn’t deserve a lengthy prison sentence

Yeah this is my problem too. And I definitely don’t a fig about the rich investors who lost money (no way someone with Kissinger’s access to experts didn’t know this was a shot in the dark) but real people were hurt by her actions and their were long term consequences to some of them.

I have a subscription because they are my local paper, but would welcome another option.  Their conservative opinion articles give voice to extremists and they sometimes choose thematic drumbeats (like the one you are referring to above) that are downright disengenous and creepy.  About a year ago, they had a constant…

The patients who testified against Elizabeth Holmes are on public record. The NYTimes did not bother to interview them for this “unbiased” profile sourced by her family and friends. What a joke.

No, it is weird and fitting for the New York Times to produce a ham fisted profile for people who like to pretend that they are clever. The article was no more than a bad “on one hand and on the other hand” college essay. It is in no way relevant that she is a mother. That she cares for her dog does not give any…

It’s amazing what little research the NY Times author put behind her article other than speaking with “Friends of Liz Holmes” (which sounds like a PAC running ads).

It is weird how obsessed people here get with them, we literally fought a war to not have to care but you now have places having coronation, royal wedding, etc. events. 

Jesus. I am embarrassed for everyone involved in this cosplay for monarchists. Seriously. WTF. Wearing a crown and carrying an orb?!?!! Just take back all the royal booty into the general treasury, give back all the shit they stole from... well, everyone, and run the country as if it were governed by adults, not by…

Wait a minute!  If this is all true, this one seems different from the rest.  Like bribery different.  

And if we had a functioning justice system of some kind, he would face consequences. But this is America and laws don’t apply to the rich. 

He thinks that after the republicans throw democracy, he’ll be one of the “good blacks”. Pretty sure he’ll be surprised when they come for him.

Wake me up when anyone suffers real consequences for all this bullshit.  

Couldn’t they have bought the RV while they had a job and a house, but then lost the job and the house and only have the RV left?

Correct me if I’m wrong.

Yuu need to fuck off and get an empathy transplant.

Its more complicated then that. Its a failure of the healthcare system. Back in the day Reagan cut all of the funding in the state for mental health institutions and as a result, a LOT of mentally ill people were tossed out onto the street. It is also a drug problem. Many homeless folks are drug addicts and lack…

“Shelby County v. Holder. Thomas ruled in favor of the plaintiffs in a 5-4 decision gutting the Voting Rights Act.”

I think it’s important to understand the difference between a full time RV’er and an unhoused person living on the side of the street in a beat to hell camper. Plenty of people live full time in RV’s either in RV parks or on public lands. These are full functional “homes” with water, power, internet, the whole deal.…

Right, RVs can have all of those things, in official RV lots, but this isn’t that, this is people desperate to live near where they work, but they’ve been price out.
In Arizona right now, they’re building ‘tiny’ houses near the schools where they want teachers to teach, because they’re admitting that the salaries they…

Haven’t the people of Ireland been through enough
