@cuban, here is a place where we may agree. I have proposed a Work for America program. Hire young Americans to rebuild local communities or come work in the federal government. Those with AI and tech skills could help make agency coordination better, improve government services, and improve government design. I am for using technology to get better outcomes. I want people like you involved in helping us think how to make government deliver better.
But we have a structural inequality in America. The tax rate is unfair and biased toward capital and more punitive in rate on a bus driver, teacher, or nurse. People are accumulating unprecedented fortunes while ordinary Americans are saddled with childcare, healthcare, and education costs.
AI wont solve a broken economic and political system.
We need a new social contract in America.
You can be a voice encouraging other billionaires and trillionaires to pay a modest tax so all Americans can have the basic necessities.
You can also encourage business leaders to invest in creating jobs and apprenticeships in deindustrialized parts of our nation.
I admire what you have done with prescription drugs!
Ro, you just gave a nice little stump speech. Congrats.
I'm talking about how AI can be used to make government more efficient, less expensive and provide an option, where it makes sense , to private enterprise.
Enabling more of the revenue you collect from taxpayers to go directly to the people who need it.
Ask your GenZ and neediest constituents, if AI could reduce spending in your state and improve the quality of services offered, with some percent of those savings being deposited in their bank accounts annually, would they approve of the government using AI ?
You know the answer.
By focusing on technology that can allow government to provide better services at a lower cost, which AI will be in a position to enable, only then can you help provide for people who need help and support.
AI is new, and not easy to implement. Which is why your state and the federal government should be creating programs to give new grads, who know or can learn AI, jobs to work with existing staff to find ways to decrease costs and improve efficiency. It's an investment that will pay off.
And as far as all the things you want to subsidize, from homes to childcare to healthcare , you could take every dollar from every billionaire and trillionaire in your state and probably every state and territory, leave them broke and then eat them, and it wouldn't cover for a year, the cost of what you want to do
But
Since I know healthcare, let's start there and see how serious you are about Medicare for All ?
Who runs it and how do you choose that person?
Right now the proposed legislation from jayapal and sanders says ," at the discretion of the Sec of HHS"
What do you think would be happening right now if that had been passed ?
I'll tell you the same thing I tell Republicans who think removing government and regulation from any market will make that market bigger and more efficient ...
Ideology is not a strategy
