Comment on The new plan to create a stock market portfolio for every child in America

Comments

I'm seeing two completely different ideas in this article. "A stock portfolio for every child in the US" and "funding stock market portfolios for children of employees of Microsoft/Uber/Dell/Zillow". Are we talking about doing both?

It's an interesting idea, but it seems less likely to work and more likely to be a ponzi scheme or other type of scam than something like welfare reform, declaring basic food and housing a human right, then backing that with some reasonable policies. Most people might have to sell theirs to goto college or buy a car to drive to their first job I imagine. It's shivering with "K-shaped recovery" vibes.

At least, I'm confused about what problem it's attempting to solve here. Maybe it's not intended to solve a problem.
