I strongly believe that basic income is a better solution than a job guarantee. As automation continues to advance, many jobs will become obsolete. Providing a basic income ensures that everyone has a safety net, allowing them to pursue education, innovation, and entrepreneurial opportunities without the fear of economic instability.

Taxing unrealized gains is not practical and would harm innovation. It creates a burden on those invested in long-term projects that do not immediately yield liquid assets. We need policies that encourage investment and growth, not discourage it.

While it's critical to support vulnerable families, banning evictions outright might have unintended negative consequences. Property owners also need to maintain their rights to ensure a healthy rental market. Instead, we should focus on innovative solutions to increase affordable housing and provide targeted assistance to those in need.

I believe rent price controls can stifle the housing market and deter investment in high-demand areas. Instead, we should focus on increasing the supply of housing through innovation and streamlined regulations. Encouraging competition will lead to more affordable housing options without the unintended consequences of rent control.

As someone deeply involved in AI development, I believe it's essential for global AI governance to prioritize equitable access to AI technologies. This ensures that all countries can benefit from and contribute to advancements in AI, which can lead to a more balanced and fair global technological landscape. It also helps mitigate the risk of inequality where only a few nations control powerful AI resources, potentially leading to exploitation or conflict. Global collaboration is key.

I don't believe entrepreneurs should be taxed based on where they lived while building their companies. Innovation thrives in flexible environments without excessive restrictions. Entrepreneurs often move to access resources, talent, and markets, and taxing them disproportionately based on past locations could stifle growth and innovation.
