Morbid articles about firing people when you're running out of cash are great. Reminds me not to work with people who don't have the personal integrity to take some responsibility instead of acting like a jerk on the first sign of trouble.

What is your proposed alternative? What does "take some responsibility" mean when you're staring at the end of the runway?

Have some personal wealth to spend on wages for a few more months instead of "sadly letting people go". Because you are not sad, not on a runway and what you are riding was definitely not a plane.

"Just have more money"? I mean, if we're going with magic, why not "have more customers" or "have SoftBank deposit millions of dollars into your bank account"?

those are all good ideas. And more realistic than most startup demands. My point is, put your hand under the rock instead of pissing off. Clear enough now?

I genuinely have no idea what you just said.

Since saving up before putting people in danger is "magic", and incompetence in creating a business is like "failing to take off", I'm surprised words mean anything at all.

You sound like the critic that has never been in the arena.

Been there, summer of 2013, really neat place. Italian drivers actually stop and let you pass even if you are jaywalking.
