📡 On my Radar
AI is changing who owns the future.
Just five companies - Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Amazon - represent nearly 29% of the entire S&P 500. Wealth is aggregating at the top at unprecedented speed.
Meanwhile, worker power is collapsing. Union membership hit a historic low of 9.9% in 2024. Sixty million workers say they’d join a union if they could, but the system won’t let them. AI is accelerating this squeeze, commoditizing labor while funneling returns to shareholders.
Here’s a fix: public companies reward all employees with stock proportional to their income, or lose tax incentives. CEO gets 10% of salary in stock? The front desk worker making $40,000 gets their 10% too: $4,000 in stock.
This builds asset bases for everyone. Assets that appreciate. When communities own stakes in the innovation economy, they build generational wealth instead of watching it concentrate elsewhere. And by reducing turnover its good for bosses too.
We’re at a fork: concentrate AI’s gains among the already ultra-wealthy, or spread them among the people actually building the future.
