Which Gemini voice you using? I went with Capella cause it has a British accent and the Australian one I used on assistant wasn't available.

He bought the patent for cheap and sold other people on the vision. He ended up cashing out with nearly $40 million.

When the drug failed clinical trials a second time, the stock collapsed by about 75% in a single day.

Some public investors, including pension funds, were left eating that loss.

But Ramaswami was more insulated from that fallout because most of his investment was not in Axovant, the main company.

It was in his related company called Royant.
Today, Vivec's net worth is $2.4 billion. And that's the real pattern.

This is mostly about Silicon Valley and Big Pharma/Bio Tech - but it applies to most modern businesses (and thus employers)

Just In Time Production

Gig Economy

The thing is that there's enough slack in the system, enough of a time gap between the "savings" and when the bill comes due - that people can profit very highly on gullible business people and investors - who then of course parlay those losses on Customers and the American Tax Payer if the destruction is big enough.
