They're trying to use fear to spin a story against this guy. They're going to use fear when telling them about lying under oath.

They're going to use fear the whole way, it's their only weapon.

It's why they are so afraid. A lot of us see through it, and see their real fear.

So I have assisted in the development of a beige box where the magic happens. I can 100% confirm, it's magic, and it happens in the beige box. Item goes in, information comes out. It doesn't make any sense.

It's because the modern day wealth disparity has no equivalent in human history, at least to my knowledge. Maybe slavery - but they were at least valuable enough to shelter and feed.

Elon Musk shows in this just how much worse he is than robber barons.

Heh, one of the other things I've gotten really good at since I was a kid is describing what it's like in my mind.

One of the best ones recently was a spiderweb. Every thought is connected to every other thought. Even on my meds, I'm capable of connecting extremely dissimilar things - the ocean and blueberries are linked because of the color blue. The difference is on my meds I can choose the strand of the web to follow, rather than diverge from talking about the ocean to talking about fruits.

Oh, I'm well aware of that. The part that grabbed my attention is that it appeared these were migrant workers brought in to Brazil.

Essentially the cheap Chinese factories are diversifying where they are located, but not how they staff them.

An ADHD diagnosis as an adult is hard. If it's impacting work (which if you have ADHD I don't see how it couldn't), your best bet is starting off with a licensed therapist. They can at least help you get things started, and help get you a recommendation to a psychiatrist. If the current clamp down on ADHD meds is any indication, it probably will have to be a specialized psychiatrist to get you diagnosed.

One of the things about ADHD is that the symptoms are life long, so there would be some indication that you had it as a kid. Your parents and siblings or close cousins are your best bet on that. You don't want to fish for the information, but get a general idea of what they know. It will help in your diagnosis, or at least get you into testing.

I posted in the other thread about how this is involving other for profit healthcare stocks, but I see a trend that we need to correct before the wrong people are hurt.

We are talking about for-profit healthcare executives and owners.

The CEO of HCA made $21m in total compensation. A physician makes on average $200k in the org.

Tenet Healthcare CEO made $18m. A physician makes on average $232k.

Vs Non-profits: Mayo Clinic CEO: $3.72m (notably also a Dr?) Physician: $273k

Cleveland Clinic CEO: $4m (this was tough to find) Physician: $235k

Now let's look at revenue and profit (well, the revenue for the non-profits). HCA pulls in $60b in revenue, $4b in profit. Tenet HC: $17b in revenue, $400m in profit. Mayo Clinic: $16.3b revenue, Cleveland Clinic: $8.4b revenue.

The contrast is a bit alarming isn't it? Physician salaries are fairly consistent across the board, but the executives of the for-profit entities make 4x-5x the compensation as the non-profits (not that the non-profit CEOs really need $4m/year in pay).

Tying healthcare to profits is the problem.

Correct. And I strongly suspect they are wildly pumping out news about him to narrow the juror pool to people who do live under rocks.

The other option is that jurors lie about their bias, which opens them up for legal consequences.

His defense, in any case, has a very difficult task - they need to be able to somehow communicate him being innocent against stacked charges OR paint him light that the rest of us see that leans them towards Jury Nullification.

My hope is that potential jurors hide their bias, which isn't easy, but gives him the best chance.
