This comment is wrong on so many levels:

- Berkeley SJWs

Is it "Social Justice Warrior" to complain that your lab is giving false results to people? I would have thought that was basic human decency.

It's really unfortunate that our world is so polarized that some people see everything through the lens of culture wars. Theranos had nothing to do with the culture war. It was fraudulent lab results.

- 9 billion dollar company

Turned out none of the technology worked, otherwise someone would have bought it for something. So it was never worth anywhere close to $9bn

- talented people fired

Talented people given an opportunity to find new jobs at the height of the market, rather than waiting for Theranos to inevitably fall apart during the eocnomic downturn.
