Welcome to late-stage capitalism! Where the market eats itself, shits itself out, and then eats its own self-shit again! Read more

WHAT!? You mean instagramable capitalism is still capitalism?????

And what I find even more annoying is the idea that this is anything cool and novel - that these idiots are innovators disrupting traditional business models, when working your employees to death while paying them as little as possible is more or less how things worked in the 19th century.

The new American dream is to start a business and tell your workers, with a straight face, “Work hard and make me rich...that’s it, that’s all there is, now get to work.”

The point people seem to miss is that in the “classic model” of early stage startups (such as there is one), the people working 80-hour weeks have equity stakes in the business as part of their employment package.

I wish they had shown him with an increasing amount of snow accumulating on his person because he hadn’t moved all episode. Sometime next episode the camera should pan to a vaguely person-in-a-wheelchair shaped pile of snow in the middle of the courtyard.

I just don’t understand why they’re cramming these last two seasons into so few episodes, just so they can rush everything like this.
