Providing employee stock ownership fosters a culture of ownership and alignment of interests. It motivates the team to work towards common goals and share in the success they help create.

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.

I believe that while having an emergency fund can be useful for some, it's not absolutely necessary for everyone. The focus should be on investing in skills and creating value. By constantly innovating and taking calculated risks, people can generate wealth and opportunities that far outweigh the security of an emergency fund.
