> reap broad economic and security benefits
Does anyone still buy this? The economy is disproportionately controlled by a few (adjust the threshold you check at, it remains a large disparity for awhile). Economic benefits are often at odds with benefits for the median American. Check the number of tech layoffs and H1B approvals this year.
