That’s what makes Theranos so perfect: the management style alone would sell it; but you also have the CEO who could hardly be more vampiric without being outright hammy about it; and the blood harvest stuff.
Short of discovering that Walgreens people who inked that deal have no memory of the event and a couple of neatly placed puncture wounds I’m not sure what more you could ask for.
Starting in 5th grade I (and another kid) had to routinely rewrite our assignments so the teacher could more easily read them. 5th and 6th grade, if more than a few of us were getting sloppy, we’d get handwriting assignments.
Eventually I just started writing in print letters; no one complained and that’s how I’ve written things since (other than my signature).
My son, on the other hand, writes much more legibly in cursive than he does in print.
