        There's a dollar in it. The petulant child look comes naturally.

      For me she entered the rogues gallery back in the 1990s. I've never got over her role in the expansion of of used car imports with bugger all minimum standards for exhaust pollution. If anything led to our rapidly increasing, ageing, polluting vehicle fleet, it was that.

      Finally she gets caught out for cash over ethics. I’m not crying for her.

    How populist "entrepreneur" Vivek Ramaswamy got rich: 1. Found biotech firm with hedge fund/venture capital $ 2. Buy patent for Alzheimer's drug that had failed 4 trials, raise more $ to take to market 3. Take company public, cash out 4. Drug fails 5th trial, investors wiped out.
