ML-Implode News - Dear Silicon Valley: America's fallen out of love with you

Your leaders are increasingly coming from a narrower group of universities, companies and socioeconomic classes. Your companies are now solving "my-world problems" (food delivery, cold-pressed on-demand juice) versus the "real-world problems" you used to solve (getting affordable computers in the hands of everyone; inventing the internet). Your solutions literally create the script for a satire show on HBO -- and you don't see what a big problem it is.
And because of the first problem -- the lack of new ideas in the room -- you don't know how to solve this. Your best idea for social inequality: universal basic income, where the wealth of the billionaires will continue to grow, but don't worry, the rest of the serfs (who are otherwise unable to do any work!) will receive a daily stipend.

To you, in the words of one Silicon Valley investor, this seems like "the only logical conclusion." To the average person, this seems like the height of arrogance. People are uncomfortable with universal basic income because you're essentially saying their labor isn't worth anything -- but you don't see it!
