Like it or not, Neumann has made WeWork into a household name. I know more people with a WeWork than a PS5.

Questionable Business ethics and personality issues aside, it is not unreasonable that investors would bet on him again.

Yes, even with the failed IPO.

The problem is that we should not reward these behaviors, yet we have a system set up that does exactly and purely that

“We” are not rewarding anyone. These are not my tax dollars. Andreesen as a firm is free to invests its money however they wish.

If those investments continue to yield fruitless bets over a finite timeline they will fail.

If their LPs have a problem with this they can take it up with the fund.

We are all part of the same system and we vote for politicians that refuse to regulate businesses even when they actively harm people.
