I like the evidence of how broken hiring is, but the treatment is worse than the disease, and the analysis is flawed. The treatment: there's a long failed history of using contractors and hiring the best, which is a recipe for abuse an

Often only minimal shares are floated on the public market - 5-10% now is not unusual. Also, founders keep priority shares to keep the company. So IPO is not particularly a liquidity event for investors as much as a valuation/pricing

Sorry: is there any evidence for the proposition that staffing was excessive, or that it was ZIRP that led to excessive staffing? The idea is plausible, but was it actual? Second, is there any evidence for more or less gatekeeping? Or evid
