'This is reported in a HunterBook investigation.'

Stopped right there. It's unsubstantiated bullshit.

'Hunterbrook is an investigative news outlet and investment firm. It was founded by Sam Koppelman and Nathaniel Horwitz in 2023.[1] Hunterbrook monetizes its reporting through financial trading and litigation.[2]'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunterbrook

Hunterbook lies for its own gains.

Entire thing sounds like it was written with AI, produced with AI and spewed with the help of AI.

I call bullshit, there's no real proof.

Sorry for the late reply, went to bed after posting.

My father was diagnosed in 2011 with a stage 2 c25 pancreatic neuro tumor at ucsf medical center in San Francisco, CA. My father then had a whipple done at Stanford Medical in 2012. It's there we learned he had what doctors called the 'Apple Cancer' as it was given noteriaty by Jobs.

My Dad had kidney failure in 2015, Chemo in 2017 and passed in 2018. It's a damned slow and painful death.

It's my understanding from the doctors a decade ago that survivability simply depends on the individual and while diet can help, it's neither a silver bullet nor a guarenteed life extender.

I'm not a doctor either, I sincerely don't know what's changed in 10+ years, but what I will agree with is this: If he, Jobs or even my Dad were diagnosed sooner there MAY have been more time for them both, but even after everything they learned with Jobs, medicine isn't any closer (or wasn't when I was going through it) at understanding how these neurocrine cell cancers advance.

Btw, the chemo my Dad got was absolutely worthless. It may have given us more time with him, but it shortened his quality of life so much we regret letting him get it.

Regarding Jobs himself. He was somewhat of an anarchist and I'll give you two examples:

  1. I knew one of his secretaries... Blonde gal, energetic, super cute with freckles whose name escapes me 27 years later. Anyway, she handled several of Jobs personal affairs with one being his cars. Jobs would buy a new Lexus coupe every 5-6 months so he could drive without a license plate. Why? So he could neither be tracked individually nor be cited easily by traffic cameras. Once, he supposedly got a speeding ticket and I recall this secretary going to court saying it wasn't him to get it thrown out. Jobs sincerely didn't like authority.

  2. At the great mall in Milpitas circa y2k era, all the companies off McCarthy would converge there for lunch. Long tables filled with people and CEOs like Jobs would head these tables to give lectures or argue the direction of the industry with others. Jobs on one of those two occasions I met him there was told by the Mall security to be more quiet and he abruptly screamed at the guy to arrest him for it and if he couldn't arrest him to just fuck off.

Jobs was a piece of work and at least from my experiences shows he probably wouldn't bend the knee so readily. Not saying he wouldn't, but the dude had a problem being told what to do, zero doubts. No one will know though, Jobs is dead.

edit: Typos from writing this on a phone while in a meeting lol.

First of all, Steve was a prick who would have sold his daughter to a whorehouse if it guarenteed him fortune and fame. He had that level of issues, often screaming his points at people. I met him twice at the great mall in san jose pre-ipod days while working for CEO Scott Mcnealy at Sun Microsystems.

I will say this though: Steve definitely would NOT have paid off politicians though. He hated politicians enough.

Second, my Dad died of the exact same mother fucking pancreatic cancer and the BEST Steve would have gotten with perfect care would have been an extra year at most. That pancreatic cancer outright destroys you in a very horrible way.

Siri Voice:

'Okay John, I've made a doctor's appointment for you explaining that your IBS and Gerd are now making you poop too much. I've also sent a picture of your poops. I've also ordered you a Bidet and sent a note to your SO that you're not going out tonight '

Only Apple users think Apple isn't spying on them.

And Apple users are about to realize with the new Apple AI aka Google Gemini that they ARE spying on them.

What would you have Barack and Michelle Obama do?

Assuming they're going to be the mouth piece for the Democrats, then they should not only be condemning it, they should be rallying everyone on Capitol Hill that to act in unison against it.

The issue with this currently as I know it directly from an active member of Congress is:

  • NO ONE in the Democratic Party wants to stick their neck out to do anything.
  • NO ONE in the Democratic Party has the courage nor accountability to act.
  • EVERY ONE in the Democratic Party is waiting for someone else to lead the assault on MAGA and it's not coming.

Further, it's been suggested that the Democrats could do more within the party and even without leadership. However. they're too scared due to threats by MAGAts. Two of the memos I was told about suggest:

  • Congressional members against Trump who, if they rally together, can force MAGAs hand.

  • Judges against Trump who, if they rally together, can impede Trump actions at the court level and inundate the DOJ and Supreme Court with unfulfilled MAGA actions.

Still. they sit on their hands and do absolutely nothing. Democrats, Republicans, it doesn't matter anymore. None of them care about the people and it's inaction or actions within the past year which prove that.

Loves, Pilot Flying and Roady's probably did have something like this for sale at one point.

At a Love's outside of Yuma, AZ they once sold a 'Trucker Love' package consisting of a Penthouse magazine, a trucker hat, a small bottle of lube and a pocket pussy. The hat, per the attendant, was to hide your Oh face.

So yeah, zero doubts it's been done. Fuck this AI garbage though.
