I will soon be introducing a bill to give the public a 50% ownership stake in the largest AI companies in America.
This would guarantee that the trillions created by AI are used to improve the lives of all of us — and block oligarch decisions that harm the American people.
@grahamformaine If billionaires are the problem, why do the worst outcomes always appear where politicians have the most power?
Wealth can't force you.
Government can.
Making a ruckus over introducing stupid bills that’ll never pass is all Bernie does. In all his time in Congress Bernie’s only successfully passed 3 bills into law, 2 of which were for renaming post office branches in Vermont
The last successful bill he introduced was in 2013
Hoarding wealth doesn't create more wealth. Investing it does.
The irony is that most billionaire wealth isn't hoarded. It's tied up in businesses, factories, technology, equipment, and investments that continue producing goods and services.
If simply storing wealth made people rich, every mattress would be a gold mine. Wealth grows when resources are put to productive use.
In 2026, residents of every major city should understand this simple truth:
Crime and squalor are choices.
Policies exist that can both be compassionate but put the rights and quality of life of the tax paying and law abiding above everything and everyone else.
It’s not as crazy as it sounds.
Daily habit for increasing happiness & wellbeing:
"If you start thinking about happiness and connection in terms of moments rather than some sort of illusion of some lasting long-term impact, then you start seeing opportunities to connect all over the place."
"I take an interest in other people. I'll throw out compliments, any kind thought I will share with somebody."
"What's a good day if not to string along a few good moments? And what's a good week if not to string along a few days that have some good moments in them?"

@KeithFlemming So.... everybody who owns a home should pay tax on unrealized appreciation? The capital invested into stocks are taxed... It is only the "appreciation" of the stock that isn't. People who want to tax unrealized gains are petty, jealous communist
After Sydney Crosby took an embellishment penalty. His first in his career. You gotta love the people looking up at the screen and seeing the embellishment, and then the woman’s expression to Crosby and Crosby’s expression back. This is Class stuff.
Mark Cuban just described the largest wealth transfer of the AI era.
Almost nobody understood what he said.
Cuban: “There are 33 million companies in this country. Aren’t going to have AI budgets. Aren’t going to have AI experts.”
Not tech startups.
The shoe store. The regional trucking outfit. The accounting firm with 12 employees.
The businesses that actually run the physical economy.
They know AI is coming. They have no idea what to do with it.
Cuban: “You’ve got the head of Microsoft saying software is dead because everything’s going to be customized to your unique utilization.”
Software is dead.
The SaaS era ran on one rule. Build a generic product. Force millions of companies to bend their workflows around it. Charge rent forever.
AI ends the contract.
The business stops bending to the software. The intelligence bends to the business.
But customized by whom.
The third-generation manufacturer cannot tell Claude from Gemini. The county hospital is staring at a reactor asking where the light switch is.
Cuban: “Who’s going to do it for them?”
That question is worth more than the frontier models themselves.
Hundreds of billions are being burned to build the foundation. The smartest engineers alive are locked in a bloodbath over who owns the base layer.
Let them fight.
Let them burn the capital. Let them drive the cost of raw intelligence toward zero.
Because the wealth does not collect where the brain is built.
It collects where the brain meets the business.
Every ambitious kid in college right now thinks survival means a seat at OpenAI or Anthropic.
Cuban is staring at the other 99 percent of the economy.
Learn the models. Then learn the messy, unglamorous reality of how a 50-person company actually operates.
Walk through the door. Understand their problems. Wire the intelligence directly into their revenue.
That is not a job title. That is an entire economic class being born.
You do not need to build the brain. You need to build the nervous system.
The biggest winners of the electricity era were not the engineers who built the generators. They were the ones who walked into dark factories and showed the owners where to plug in.
33 million companies are standing in the dark right now.
Silicon Valley is racing to build the god. The fortunes will belong to whoever teaches him a trade.
