2028 Presidential Frontrunner: The American Dream Is DEAD We’re Running Out Of Time | Pete Buttigieg
"Either we're looking at a future where because of AI, we have a shorter work week and more money in our pocket, or we're looking at a future where there is even more extreme concentration of wealth and power in this country than we've already got."
Buttigieg argues that the main question around artificial intelligence is not technical capability but policy: whether gains are broadly shared or captured by owners of capital. He links AI-driven automation to a tax system he says favours wealth over work, and suggests policies such as a public dividend to distribute value.
