The only reason that money losing startups “business model” works is because they don’t have to worry about silly things like profits. They are also being subsidized by VCs who are being subsidized in part by public pensions.

Maybe if we didn’t give special treatment to VCs Capital gains, many of the tech bro’s would also be out of a job. If we want to stop subsidizing bad business models let’s start with not allowing public pensions and tax free endowments the ability to invest in VC.
