in what way would she have been a role model? some evidence that being a young woman from an ultra-privileged background where high level patronage by deep state power brokers is your path to success? yeah, sure, she really "beat the odds" on that one.
in fact I think that the current pending implosion of Theranos is making a good role model of her in a way she probably never intended or desired. she is a role model of what not to do: rely on insider connections to carry a fundamentally flawed (and possibly fraudulent) business plan.
a cautionary tale if ever there was one.
- ryandrake 11y agoShe'll likely personally emerge mostly unscathed, still ultra-privileged, still a celebrity, and all ready to go deploy her insider connections on another endeavor, so not sure how much of a cautionary tale this would be.
