Too far? Everyone in a position to know the true state of Theranos should be publicly hanged for attempting to defraud the American Government, and by extension, the American people themselves.
The fact that the fraud was related to healthcare should earn them all short ropes.
- ZanyProgrammer 10y agoYou're a fucking tough guy.
- Mz 10y agoYou and my late father would have gotten along. His theory was that the death penalty should involve hanging people and re-using the same rope to keep it cheap. When it finally breaks, commute that individual's sentence and get a new rope to continue on with the next person.
- iaw 10y agoThere's an episode of "Murdoch's Mysteries" about the process of hanging a man. The rope was consistently reused, it was nearly as thick as your wrist. Too short and the man would strangle, too long and he would be decapitated.
- Mz 10y agoI don't think my father actually knew that. I think he was just trying to be nasty/snarky. Things learned talking to people in online forums...
- iaw 10y agoI find it kind of interesting that there was a whole process/methodology behind it that modern society has forgotten.
- Mz 10y agoWe have forgotten tons -- like how the Romans made ice in the desert, Greek fire and how to bend mother of pearl to clad statues -- yet imagine ourselves superior in every way.
- gohrt 10y agoThe Romans made ice in the desert by leaving a bucket of water out overnight where temperatures drop below freezing, which deserts do.
