[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is such a DC post. I’d be more proud if my school produced someone who worked for the poor or neglected, personally [/quote]

+1000.

Although I'd revise your statement to read, "This is such a NW DC post."[/quote]

These things must not count:

In 2003, Zients and his South African-born wife Mary (among their wedding guests was Nelson Mandela) formed the Zients Family Foundation, which supports multiple charities and nonprofits in the fields of education, conservation, children and women’s issues. Zients also co-founded the Urban Alliance Foundation, which works with corporations to provide paid internships, training and mentorships for youth from underresourced areas.

Not sure what this has to do with STA but these things count:

1) Zients made most of his money investing in health care companies, some of which have paid millions of dollars to settle allegations of Medicare and Medicaid fraud.  He is an investor, not a company builder or entrepreneur.

2) Zients served as Biden's Covid czar for a year, stepping away after the administration was accused of failing to prepare for the delta and omicron waves, sharing confusing messaging about testing and booster shots, and allowing Covid prevention funding to dry up.  He failed to curb the Covid surge, refused to allocate funds for vaccinations abroad, and oversaw skyrocketing death tolls.

Those are fair and explorable issues but the previous post was directed at those who said he did nothing of service for the poor/neglected.  [/quote]
