I see that the \u201cPharma Bro\u201d has been arrested and all over social media, people are cheering, saying that it\u2019s Karma.<\/p>\n

I am weary of people calling it Karma. Karma is a concept that what you do in their life determines how you come back in the next one. No matter what John Lennon said, there is no \u201cinstant karma\u201d. Bad people do bad shit all the time and get away with it. Good people do good things and get beaten down despite it. I find that and the whole \u201cthings happen for a reason\u201d to be the worst kind of privileged bullshit on the internet.<\/p>\n

Things do NOT happen for a reason. Things happen. Your monkey brain assigns a reason, but things happen, good and bad for no reason at all unless someone is doing them. He was arrested for shady business dealings from years ago, and I will bet a year\u2019s worth of pie it is because he stole from rich people. Steal from poor people, get a bailout and a bonus, steal from rich people, go to jail. The shitty things he has done that make the internet hate him are legal, protected and celebrated. So the whole \u201cfinally, karma caught up with him\u201d is bullshit. And it wears me out.<\/p>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"reddit\"<\/a>\"pinterest\"<\/a>\"linkedin\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
