LinkedIn's Reid Hoffman joked about ice cream 'for the girls' in gift to Jeffrey Epstein: report
https://misryoum.com/us/us/linkedins-reid-hoffman-joked-about-ice-cream-for/
LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman stayed at Jeffrey Epstein’s private island and at his Upper East Side townhouse, sent the dead pedophile ice cream “either for yourself or for ‘the girls,’” and once hosted him at a dinner with Mark...

Rarely does the mere filing of a #ballot #initiative scramble politics in California.
But the "#Billionaires #Tax" proposal is suddenly dominating the discourse
as proponents collect signatures to place it on the November ballot
— and wealthy residents, like Google co-founders
Larry #Page and Sergey #Brin,
move their assets out of the state rather than wait to see if it will pass.The idea of taxing billionaires’ total assets
— a more aggressive idea than the income taxes California already levies on high earners
— has long captivated the left,
galvanizing labor and shaping presidential politics.But now that
SEIU-UHW,
a union representing more than 100,000 health care workers,
has pushed the idea closer to reality than ever before,
California is getting a vivid glimpse of just how politically explosive the proposal is
and, for supporters, how high the stakes are for getting it rightThe fight has reignited a struggle over the Democratic Party’s economic agenda in the runup to the 2028 presidential contest,
-- drawing vehement denunciations from Governor #Newsom and prominent Democratic donors like Reid #Hoffman-- while being embraced by progressives like Ro #Khanna,
who represents Silicon Valley and is also mulling a presidential run.Sen. Bernie #Sanders called it “a model that should be emulated throughout the country.”
“This isn’t radical. This is fairly simple. We live in the wealthiest country in the world and people are struggling,”
Liz #Perlman, executive director of AFSCME 3299, said on a call this week in which unions and progressive groups from around the country trumpeted higher taxes in all 50 states.But beyond Perlman, the unions on that call did not necessarily embrace a wealth tax. And even Democrats championing populist economic messages are treading cautiously on this particular wealth tax proposal.
California Sen. Adam #Schiff, for example, signed onto a letter this week encouraging Democrats to “demonstrate a real willingness to take on corporate power and the billionaires” in advance of the midterms.
But Schiff has not yet taken a position on the proposal roiling politics in his home state.

Many technology companies would be more benign if they were owned and governed by their users.
Users have the most to lose from tech-driven addiction and automation,
and their data generate most of the companies’ value.⭐️User-owners would share in this value and have an incentive to keep companies from causing harm.
❓How might users come together to start and run more technology companies?
Bringing together a disparate and dispersed group of people is difficult;
-- economists call this the #collective #action #problem.👍Influential nonprofits such as the
🔸Center for Humane Technology and
🔸Project Liberty can play an organizing role,
incubating a new generation of user-owned social media businesses.While it’s a competitive field with entrenched players,
social media technology is not complex,
and there is a real hunger for more benign versions.Existing firms can also be redesigned.
✅Instead of raising capital from profit-seeking corporations,
OpenAI could seek funding from users and give them representation on its board.✅And with users on the board, the company might take more care to launch products safely
and dedicate resources to maintaining employment.🔥Most important, more of the financial gains of the AI revolution would flow to the people creating the value.
If #Keith #Gill,
also known as #Roaring #Kitty,
could organize retail investors to drive up the market value of #GameStop by $10 billion,
could a similar approach have been employed to acquire Twitter for users in 2022?Given the millions of defections from the platform since Musk purchased it,
it may not be too late.The government can also help if it’s not headed off by Big Tech political contributions.
The 🔸Small Business Administration,
the Department of Energy and
the 🔸National Science Foundation
should ✅ encourage user ownership of the companies they fund.The venture capitalists of Sand Hill Road will of course scream that this is #socialism,
but they will be wrong.It’s just business.

The root of the problem is that the United States and Silicon Valley in particular are dominated by what we call an
🆘 “investor monoculture.”Modern corporations are designed to serve investors and no one else.
About 80% of public company stock in the United States is owned by institutional investors,
most of which have one objective:
to maximize profits,
largely in the short term and without regard to the costs for society.In 1980, their share of stocks was just 29%.
Venture capital firms,
the biggest funders of Silicon Valley startups,
have grown from under $400 billion in assets in 2010
to nearly $4 trillion today.Their performance is measured by
“multiples on invested capital,” or “#MOIC,” as insiders call it.Suicide rates among young people are up more than 60% since 2007,
and U.S. democracy is in danger.
-- But these are not investors’ concerns.Regulation and advocacy can certainly make a difference.
But Big Tech is cash-rich, lawyered up and capable of running circles around regulators.
It’s time for a different approach.
When businesses are owned and governed by employees, customers, suppliers or communities, they become less predatory
and more benign.⭐️And as it turns out, corporations have been designed in such ways across time and cultures.
Capitalism comes in many forms.
❇️Farmers, employees or customers own and govern some of the world’s most respected companies,
including
Ocean Spray,
Publix Super Markets,
Organic Valley,
New York Life Insurance Co. and
Vanguard.❇️Corporations such as Patagonia,
Rolex,
Novo Nordisk and
Ikea
are owned or controlled by nonprofits, trusts or foundations,
which have no investors
and thus face less pressure to boost profits.Silicon Valley has examples too.
❇️Mozilla, which operates the web browser Firefox,
is owned by a nonprofit.It has no incentive to maximize profits,
which explains why it does not sell user data to advertisers.❇️Wikipedia, among the world’s most visited websites, is also run by a nonprofit,
which shows that scale and impact don’t always depend on investor capital.❇️A nonprofit owns a majority of ChatGPT maker OpenAI,
a design it chose to “ensure that artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity.”But its minority investors, such as Microsoft, are profit-driven,
which has led to concerns that it’s releasing products at an irresponsible pace.#Elon #Musk #Peter #Thiel #Marc #Andreessen #Ben #Horowitz #Trump #Reid #Hoffman #Harris #cryptocurrency #artificial #intelligence #Lina #Khan #addiction #eliminating #humans #Daron #Acemoglu
