#32Is there some reason to think Cuban has some useful thoughts here? He has done well for himself but he seems more than willing to make quips well outside of his knowledge base. Specifically I'm thinking of some off the cuff tweets regarding personal healthcare that seemed to be pretty far off base. Maybe that was a one off thing but I recall some others even regarding personal finance that seemed questionable.
I've been reading his posts on LinkedIn. He seems to be advocating for businesses to treat their employees loyally now or fear the social backlash (reputation hit) when we come out of crisis. I have no idea about his previous tweets and I'm not sure I care.
I'm always wary of "treat your employees well" talk from big names as I think that is as much about self promotion as it is anything else.
Much like the lifestyle type 'careers section' on a lot of company sites ;)

Cuban is an ok guy, but the healthcare comments are a good example of him being plain wrong. https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/tv/2019/11/04/s... This is an example of him arguing with a MD. Cuban takes an issue with the doctor stating that consumer driven health care from non medical professionals is responsible for overuse of antibiotics.

> consumer driven health care from non medical professionals is responsible for overuse of antibiotics
That sounds like there are no medical professionals involved, but aren't medical professionals prescribing the antibiotics?

#34Since it’s not 100% obvious - the poster “eries” is a popular author and popularized the idea of lean startups, which currently has (4,636) reviews on Amazon and a 4.5 star rating: https://www.amazon.com/Lean-Startup-Entrepreneurs-Continuous...
An odd way to summarize a career, especially because amazon reviews are notoriously low quality and almost everything has 4-4.5 stars. It definitely under-sells his achievements.

#37Earlier quoted context omitted.
Howard Schultz and Mike Bloomberg fell for this trap too, and it didn't turn out well for them. It must be difficult to get honest advice as a billionaire, because these guys seem to be quite uninformed about how unpopular they actually turn out to be in the political arena.
I'm certain it is hard to get that advice, because it's pretty hard to get out of your own way, success certainly ain't going to make it easier. You're completely correct about both of those guys, but Bloomberg showed an incredibly lack of charisma in his run and Schultz is known, but I really think yall are underrating how popular Cuban is for common people. The ESPN demographic is a lot bigger than the HN techie de…
Agreed, I don't think the average American knows who Schultz is, at least compared to Cuban

I'm not an expert here but I believe the argument is that because it's consumer driven if a patient wants antibiotics then they can just shop around doctors until they find one willing to prescribe. Plus of course, drug manufacturers aggressively pitching their product to doctors.

If you don't already plan to do so, you should interview bob Nelson at ARCH venture partners. They are a top biotech VC and one of the few VCs that has been active in antivirals the last few years (confounded Vir Biotech which is working on covid among other things) Bob has been on top of the crisis from the very beginning and has a lot of interesting insight
Thank you for the suggestion
