It's definitely timely and getting a lot of attention.
But Andrew Yang could end up making waves here. His approach seems more productive - proposing a VAT on big tech and a "Freedom Dividend".
- chillacy 8y agoI think Yang goes a lot farther than warren in that breaking up tech companies still concentrates wealth in costal tech hubs while a UBI would begin shifting that back to the middle states. It is sort of admitting that tech has “won”, but the power of data at scale is imo fundamentally a part of reality and denying it in the US just means China will develop AI technology faster. Either way I’m glad to see these ideas being discussed more broadly.
