One of my friends works for this company. When he first explained it to a bunch of us, everyone in the group was like "Oh snap that's what's up man, get that paper".

Meanwhile me being the business major I had the :jbhmm: face on the entire time

And then as time goes on I see the logo all around the city and I'm like :patrice:

And I didn't want to say anything and get called a hater but I'm glad my spidey sense alerted me to the shyt and this article as well as a number of articles about WeWork that have been dropping as of late, lets me know I was right to have some suspicions.

@hashmander You right breh...me and my boys talk about that shyt all the time how we gotta come up with an idea to finesse the fukk out of these people who clearly don't enjoy having millions of dollars and are willing to throw the shyt away on maybes and probably schemes.

Crazy, chilled with the founder for a weekend in about 2015 and hooped with him and his boys all that. One of his boys was like oh I built a app it's a social media site that you never heard of but it's big overseas - I'm like well who's invested? He says "Leonardo Decaprio and Serena Williams" lol...

Cool dude and just realizing I have some crazy ass stories just about life in general - if you read some of my other posts about the people I know/come across/hang out with - but I'm a regular ass human being lol.

Celebrities have invested in a ton of things you have no clue about.

That's a shortsighted way of thinking from someone who does a lot of wide thinking posting, as far as what I see.

A "celebrity" is just a person with money and clout...not an alien lol.

When I started tuning into the tech craze a few years ago it used to blow my mind how these startups could be created in a living room and be worth $20 billion next year whereas Burger King has been around 40 years, has thousands of locations and is barely worth $10 billion. At some point these companies are going to have to start earning money to justify their valuations and most of them don't. Like Twitter, Groupon and Snapchat.

even that face is a :finessed: smiley waiting to happen.

$20 billion dollar troll, but spending just $100 million?.....:banderas:.... that's hella of a percentage flip or whatever economic jargon I'm talking about....

100,000,000/20,000,000,000 = .0005 = .05%

.05% on most things sounds:scusthov::dahell::damn::shaq2::camby:

But .05%, a using lil bit of your stock value/ownership in a company that is ALLOTA BIT... $20,000,000,000...that's :steviej::smugbiden::umad::youngsabo::ooh::pachaha::mjgrin:............King of Kings Trolling :troll: (no defamation)
