Whelp, WeWork raised another billion dollars.

Also, they've lost $723m this year. This raises Softbank's investment to over $5b in a company that loses more than a billion dollars a year.

It's a good thing that WeWork exists, because it makes literally every other overvalued tech company look reasonable by comparison.
