There is absolutely nothing inherently interesting about these men. I hate them.

This message is for Alanis Morrissette. The Sackler brothers, who were basically communists (one was literally card-carrying in the 1930s) nevertheless have a legacy of the worst capitalism has to offer. THAT is irony. None of this afraid to fly plane crash nonsense which is ALL JUST VERY UNLUCKY AND COINCIDENTAL.

Because I knew a lot of this from work I found this less engaging than London Falling but it's no less infuriating for knowing the truth of it all

I'm at the part now where Oxycontin has hit the market, and this is what I came for. All rich white men are the same, so that part was not interesting to me. I understand it was background, but they're so uninteresting and predictable.
