There are two problems: rapidly ballooning income and wealth inequality, and ladder pulling. That explains everything. Why are schools bad? Because we disproportionally fund schools for rich people's kids, and there isn't money or regulatory freedom to innovate there. Why is transportation bad? Because rich people have drivers and private jets, and there isn't money or regulatory freedom to innovate there. Etc etc etc.
Until a16z starts investing seriously in lobbying to end federal corruption, establish a far more progressive tax code (that also considers wealth) and to aggressively prosecute monopolies, I have to assume they're just greenwashing.
