Matthew P. Goodman is senior vice president for economics and holds the Simon Chair in Political Economy at CSIS. The CSIS Economics Program, which he directs, focuses on international economic policy and global economic governance. Before joining CSIS in 2012, Goodman served as director for international economics on the National Security Council staff, helping the president prepare for global and regional summits, including the G20, Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), and East Asia Summit. Prior to the White House, Goodman was senior adviser to the undersecretary for economic affairs at the U.S. Department of State. Before joining the Obama administration in 2009, he worked for five years at Albright Stonebridge Group, where he was managing director for Asia. From 2002 to 2004, he served at the White House as director for Asian economic affairs on the National Security Council staff. Prior to that, he spent five years at Goldman, Sachs & Co., heading the bank’s government affairs operations in Tokyo and London. From 1988 to 1997, he worked as an international economist at the U.S. Treasury Department, including five years as financial attaché at the U.S. embassy in Tokyo.

Goodman holds an M.A. in international relations from the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) and a B.Sc. in economics from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). He is a life member of the Council on Foreign Relations and chairman emeritus of the board of trustees of the Japan-America Society of Washington, D.C.

He's a company man spouting the company line. Taking anything at face value is a road best not taken.

Enough about rockets and real economy and all that bs. The real power of the modern economy is tech, and nothing says tech like WeWork, the innovative coworking giant. Let's check in on how they are doing now that RTO is the name of the game in the corporate world...

WeWork has frittered away $46.7 billion in value as the stock sinks below 50 cents, one of the biggest startup failures of all time, and venture capitalists haven't learned a thing

Last week, WeWork was forced to issue an embarrassing press release warning that it was in danger of being delisted from the NYSE because the stock has traded below $1 for so long.

In 2019, WeWork was valued at $47 billion, prior to a disastrous attempt to go public that resulted in the exodus of its flamboyant, controversial founder Adam Neumann. As of Monday, with shares trading at 47 cents and a market cap of $345.7 million, the company has lost some $46.7 billion in value over four years — vanishing like a sand sculpture left in the wind.

When a $47 billion startup shrivels so drastically, who gets hurt? The investors. In this case, Softbank has suffered the most by far. It's Vision Fund is still the largest shareholder of WeWork with over 461.5 million shares, or about 62% of the company.

While it's true that Neumann's WeWork holdings are in sad shape now, he has already been redeemed Silicon Valley style. He's back with a new startup that raised $350 million from the VC giant Andreessen Horowitz in August, 2022 — its biggest check ever — and is back on the tech speaker circuit.

That's because Neumann is a Mossad spook and is getting propped up to create Pegasus 2.

If NASA really wants to show up musk in a more public way they should launch a petrol guzzling 70's car into high orbit with a cockpit go-pro, the driver dummy wearing a bomber jacket and dark sunglasses.

honestly the most impressive thing i've learned is you can convince tens of thousands of degenerate zoomer gambling addicts to drop all their savings/trust fund into propping up a dogshit moribund suburban brick & mortar, literally the dumbest loving moribund B&M store that literally no one likes had more neon signs than las vegas saying it was trash get out now -- all so the rich can flee the escape hatch

and even after they're left holding the bag full of dynamite they say "well... i think they'll come back and go to the moon! lawsuits WILL be FILED if they don't!! also this bag of dynamite might be worth more money than I put in! MOON!

i think GME was a genuine anomaly that caught rich people off guard and since the institutions just adapted their hft spam bots to open the seo-tier spam flood gates upon gambling degenerates using the right lingo to psych them into MOON and prop up dying bleak corporate b&m poo poo up so they can get out.
