Its a awesome quote, but next time put in the link -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Holmes#Early_life It only takes seconds, leaves no doubts and in the world we live in right now we need facts more than anything else.

@tolep Your right but it goes to family behavior at the American Elitist level. She got into Stanford and that's not easy. Stanford is regarded in a few places as the West Coast Ivy. It incredibly elitist in its way. Ans going further American elitism is really starting to take its toll. America was started (at least on paper) as a place where there was no elitist cadre running everything, despite that fact from its outset it was run by an elitist cadre. I picked up the other day on a thread about the Federalist Society and someone advise to do a bit of background of who they are and what they push. Basically its a group from Yale and Harvard who believe that only they can adjudicate on the Constitution and they have to protect America from the rest of the scum. Elizabeth Holmes is just another Ivanka Trump type from a privileged background who thought the rules and common sense didn't apply to her.

@DibIrken Narcissistic Sociopaths don't care they just take what they want. The narcissistic part drives their greed and the sociopathic part doesn't care.

The great quote in this is at 14:20 "this thing didn't even survive the most superficial scrutiny" I'm an aerospace engineer and the number of times I have had to answer similar questions and answer them more than once is baffling. Its simply staggering how many people think Hollywood is based on fact. Worse is how utterly ignorant our mainstream media are of technology. When I was in college they made me do some humanities so that I'd be more "well rounded." I'd like to start seeing every arts degree include a basic engineering course so that when all these clowns talk at least there's a chance the noise coming out from their mouths has a chance of being based on fact.

@OMGAnotherday Fair comment up until you did the racist thing. Her first husband was Pakistani, her second is from San Diego. There's nothing in her immediate family that says Israel. So your comment is totally shit racist stupidity and you should delete it ASAP. FYI - I'm neither Israeli or Jewish. Its just a stupid racist comment.

@durshurrikun150 If your referring to the Dems and what they were before WW2 and how the KKK was their making, then don't bother being a smart ass the world has an oversupply already. If your referring to the GOP who claim to defend democracy as they strip it form others then remind them that Lincoln was a Republican and he freed the slaves. If your referring to the Founding Fathers I never claimed they were perfect and nobody should ever claim they were perfect, but they did create a magnificent (but flawed) construct with the Bill of Rights. What certain people need reminding of is the Bill of Rights is not for white fundamentalist people only. What other people need reminding of is the Bill of Rights is NOT the property of minority groups with idiotic selfish narrow minded agendas.

@MrRaulstrnad Their is a thing that really annoys me about the technological ignorance among educated people. In universities around the world ALL engineers have to take some humanities classes/courses to make them "well rounded." I did Psych 101, Economics 101, a couple of classes in sociology and a couple in classical civilization. They are even useful in todays climate. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ BUT not 1 university anywhere makes any arts degree student take or require as part of a curriculum a single engineering class AND YET they all live and work in a world built by engineers. Engineers built the roads, power stations, internet, water systems, factories and everything else. In Australia I know of only 1 item you can buy that doesn't involve engineering - GENUINE (not counterfeit) native Australian Art, because they go out themselves and gather the materials. People forget that if it involves machinery of any sort then it involves engineers and that includes food production. If it has any metal or plastic or paper/cardboard then its an engineered product.

@tolep D-ckhead that is being racist. 🧏‍♂️🧏‍♀️

@garethjackson6187 Yeah I was surprised too and then checked her background and yeah fraud seems to be a family trait, a bit like it is with another well known family in America.

@MrRaulstrnad My favorite thought exercise is to ask people -> How many engineers does it take so the average person can turn on a light? Be honest and remember your first number. I've had only a couple of other engineers even begin to get close. When I give you the number you'll think I'm crazy.

@MrRaulstrnad What was your first thought? For most people it's about 5 (usually 3-8) because they don't go beyond the switch or socket - they think of a desk lamp or a room light. A few engineers (mostly with an electrical background) go onto the power station, but even fewer (without prompting go back to the basic metals needed. Since I have worked in manufacturing and more recently mining I just go with the metals and my basic list is. Tungsten (filament) Tin (bulb cap) Copper (low voltage wiring) Aluminum (for the cores of the HV transmission lines) Iron (transformers, transmission towers & lines) Zinc (for galvanizing exposed iron components) Nickel, Manganese & Chromium (for the stainless that wraps around HV transmission lines) Coal (to process the iron ore) Sulphur (to make sulphuric acid to process the other ores except aluminum) Soda Ash (to make caustic soda to process the aluminum) So that's at least 10 (or more) mines with all the factories that make mining equipment - diggers, trucks, crushers, conveyors, screens, tanks, pipes,..............etc Then there's the trains, trucks, & ships that take the raw mining materials of to the processing plants. Then there's the processing plants for taking the raw mining materials and producing raw stock - iron, nickel, aluminum smelters.....,etc. Then there's the factories that make all the things that go into building a power station. Then there's the factories that make all the things that go into building a power grid Then there's the factories that make all the things that go into building a house with wiring. Then there's the factories that make all the things that go into building a light. And does not include any of the other infrastructure or many other raw materials required so that 1 person can have a home and turn on that light. It's at least 20,000 and may be well over 50,000.
