Episode 51- Game of Theranos

Strap on the feed bag and get ready for some content to fuel your body and mind. This week we examine Mayor Pete BootyJudge's campaign, and its bold progressive ideas like reinstating a military draft and suppressing people in prison from voting. Next we visit the gropey overgrown wrinkle Joe Biden, who wasted no time co-opting images of racist violence in Charlottesville for his campaign video, despite the fact that his political career began with opposition to integrated buses. After a brief digression on Roger Stone's upcoming strip club appearance, we dive deep into the story of Elizabeth Holmes and the Theranos scandal, a fraud perfectly encapsulating the absurd reality of our Silicon Valley elites. A Stanford drop-out with a closet full of Steve Jobs turtlenecks developed into the most famous female CEO in the world by hoodwinking a bunch of horny old rich men into investing hundreds of millions towards a product and technology that never existed. We pick apart what went wrong with Holmes' attempt to create the Apple of health care and how an industry powered by hubris allowed it to happen.
