Adam Gopnik, my man, what planet are you living on?
“And so Elizabeth Holmes, the Theranos founder and a young mother, is sentenced to eleven years, and Sam Bankman-Fried, the FTX founder, gets a quarter century—in both cases for nonviolent crimes that caused harm but not physical injury. In the first instance, the financial victims were chiefly people like Rupert Murdoch and Betsy DeVos, who should have known better, and, in the second, nobody appears to have been left poorer at all. Their reckless and illegal conduct calls for sanction and penalties, but people will entrust neither with their money again.”
Once freed, they will both amass new fortunes from people who entrust them with their money. There is no surer bet. It's the American Way.
Anyways...
No, it's not that Still Life. Or that Still Life. This Still Life was an early 80's UK synth driven new wave band that released three EPs and that was that. They opened for Culture Club, and looked to be on their way to success, and then, poof. It's definitely of it's era, but well done.
