@gzer0x More like a southeast Asian work culture, where you're expected to go out and drink with your coworkers. Then go back to the office and work some more.

@BasicName02 Exactly. You've gotta have the gift of gab and the ability to leverage your social network to make the best connections.

I like kombucha, but with what they're charging for it now it's cheaper just to brew your own. Anyway... "...and in a way it shows some of the consequences of having a prolonged period of low interest rates. Not only can unsustainable companies last longer, given that the cost of capital is so low, so they can keep fueling their losses, but the investors who provide that capital tend to be less diligent..." Way less diligent, and way more inclined to fall for the latest conman. It's weird, though. I don't think Adam Neumann started out wanting to be a grifter, he really did want to change the world. But there was so much money out there and it was so easy to get, temptation eventually lured him to the dark side. I mean when SoftBank is just throwing billions at you like you're a stripper on Friday night, it must be really hard to say no thanks. We don't need that much yet.
