Here is a quick look at the things sucking money out of PPP

1 - $700 Chairs anyone who buys $700 chairs with VC money gets high too often.

2 – New office with neon walls. Nothing will sink a startup like a round of layoffs and a huge office commitment.

3 – The existence of a PayPerPost lime green monster truck, after getting high and buying the chairs it probably seemed like a fantastic idea.

4 – Radio Advertising

5 - Performancing

There is little need to worry about the long term impact of PPP, as these guys are going to have a cash crunch in 6-8 months
