Your Life Matters Not. Holmes, part N.

In case you needed more proof that our current Neo-feudalism is just doing victory laps over the Republic's body (while keeping us all distracted with culture wars), the Holmes verdict should dissuade you of any dissenting thoughts [1]:

Elizabeth Holmes, the former CEO and founder of failed blood testing startup Theranos, was found guilty on four charges of defrauding investors, capping off the stunning downfall of a former tech icon. 

She was found not guilty on three additional charges concerning defrauding patients and one charge of conspiracy to defraud patients.

Yeah, you heard that right, you take money from rich investors and we will end you (especially if you embarrassed them and made them less than the gods they tried to be... in fact for this part, I think Holmes is a hero. Period). Hurt patients? Naw, that's part of business. In fact if we prosecute for that, many other rich people would have to go to jail. Can't set that precedent. 
And on this cycle goes. I really sense that things like this, and the Covid, let the poor die, stances have driven much of the psychosis we see in our nation. If such things are hidden, people can lie to themselves. But if they're not, then that reality proves to be too much.
Your thoughts?


[1] Whatever you want to call this. Neo-feudalism, techno feudalism. Both of those, creeping into eco-fascism.
