I remember WebMD was one of the most chaotic places I worked at. It was 2000-2001 and there was a president Marv Rich and a CEO Marty Wygod. They were both building duplicate ERP systems that basically did the same thing. One day, my boss Al was in a meeting, and they told him that he needed us to move the data center to the East Coast. The most valuable part was a bunch of big EMC Symmetrix arrays with all their data. He was freaking out because he got into an argument about loading all of them into one airplane, and he didn’t want to do it. He was telling them that if the airplane goes down, all of WebMD would be gone, and it needed to be loaded onto two airplanes. I don’t know why, but for some reason, that story always reminded me of my time at WebMD.

Many things have ruined the Internet, corporate greed, the proliferation of low quality content, paywalls, advertising, websites infested with user registration, AI, bots, shitty web page builders, etc… This was such a great article except the alligator was only five and a half feet long.

Scamuel Brokeman Fraud

There was almost no oversight on loans being given out. One of my businesses had a fraudulent ppp loan taken out on it. Not only was it a weed dispensary but had already burned down in a fire before the loan was approved. I contacted everyone I could to notify them about the fraud, FBI, sba, local police. It was devastating to get a letter in the mail out of knowwhere from the sba asking for payments on 135k. About had a heart attack. They took our name off the list and we don’t have to pay, so somewhat of a happy ending.

DeSantis said. “They are suing the state of Florida. They are going to lose that lawsuit. So what I would say is, ‘Drop the lawsuit. You have the state that even CNBC ranks as number one of all 50 states for economy.” -Looks up list of states with the highest GDP… Florida comes in forth place.
