Why are billionaires doing this instead of governments? It doesn't make sense.
Governments are supposed to protect workers, regulate industries, and make sure technology benefits everyone. Looks like billionaires and VCs who love monopolies are building the future on their terms.

That's why billionaires are talking about basic income before politicians do. They know the window for their survival is closing fast.
