Because they are the best at raising money — I’ve been reading Billion Dollar Loser: The Epic Rise and Spectacular Fall of Adam Neumann and WeWork by Reeves Wiedeman. …

Our country is at a crossroads. Our inability to work together in a rational and objective manner has significantly increased the probability of the U.S. losing its global number one status. You might think why does that matter. Who cares if we’re number one? And normally I would agree with…
