The public should own half of everything that Senator Sanders owns as well.

Pretty sure he'd be down for that
Drop by his residence and ask, why not.
Why? He makes a compelling argument for his stance, and he is of course one man, not a business. If AI companies are going to have such a profound effect on the common man, including both you and me, then why shouldn't we have a say in how they operate? I can hardly say the same for Sanders' belongings.
He's a multimillionaire and I am not.
If your point is that you're trying to parrot Sanders' beliefs in a deliberately stupid way, it isn't working, because this isn't why he thinks the public should have a stake in how AI companies are being run. It's what you think he thinks after not having read the article.
Or maybe I honestly believe that all millionaires should be socially responsible, regardless of their political views.
