My word, that was a painful read.

The last photo of Clinton, Holmes and Jack Ma piqued my curiosity and I – stupidly – looked up the event. For readers with strong stomachs, link here

2:56 – two minutes and 56 seconds later Clinton is drooling and I’m silently screaming “no, no, no, tell me this ain’t so.”

16:57 Clinton asks Holmes to “explain what you’re doing, and how you think that advances social solidarity and equality of opportunity?”

Suddenly, Jack Ma looks straight up at the ceiling – with OMG written all over his face.

Holmes replies, “our work is in the belief that access to basic health information is a human right.”

19:43 Watch Jack Ma’s hands, when Clinton starts talking about Jack Ma’s company, Alibaba, delivering Holmes’ blood tests to people in rural China.

David, you really captured our national dis-ease in this essay. Instead of trying to get people to SEE the symptoms, you held up a magnifying glass and showed us the dis-ease itself. It looks like Bill Clinton and Elizabeth Holmes on that global stage. And Jack Ma looks like I feel – tortured. Watch Ma’s body language – that man is in pain. And I need a bath.
