Another very detailed analysis, this time of WeWork, the Juicero of office space.

Apparently, Adam Neumann promoted WeWork to investors as a software company, just as Musk promotes Tesla as a software company.

Did you know things called science aren’t real science? Like nuclear engineering is real science but climate science isn’t.

Joe actually asks a good question. The problem is every fucking word out of Pete’s mouth. Stuff like wind mills are I think he says “visual pollution”, Greta Thunberg is more dangerous then nuclear holocaust or nukes or something, double blind studies are evil or something etc.

Actually Joe asks two good question one about science not being science if it’s called science and one on why left-wing charity is so evil.

Whereas Greta Thunberg might make that number slightly less. :cry:
