Yeah, well, the Unix philosophy is from the engineering department, not the accounting department.
Funding FOSS projects without advertising, dopamine-hacking, donation-begging into the void, or being subsidized by billionaires that want to influence the electorate is still largely unsolved.
The problem isn't that we don't know how (solved issue: UBI, higher pay for less work, high marginal income tax rate, unrealized capital gains tax above a minimum, land tax, etc.).
The problem isn't even the billionaires.
The problem is convincing comfortable, ambitious middle-high earners to put a cap on their and their bosses' prospects in exchange for the stability (and subsequent ground preparation for innovation) of a higher floor.
They're the stumbling block because they're the ones who, on balance and en masse, have the money and votng power to excuse and enable the status quo.
