As a society, I believe we should optimize for two things:

1. Stability: We want an environment where people and ventures can make long-term plans with confidence.

2. Wider allocation of wins: We want "more people get lots of little wins" instead of "fewer people get a rare big win"

How do you propose to achieve #2?
(I agree with it as a goal)

Typical SV equity distribution seems to be one of the core contributors to “fewer people get a rare big win”

This is a good start.

wrt safety nets:
One of the best safety nets would be to encourage multi-generational households. It's a far more efficient use of housing resources and doesn't require a change made by the Gov.

Removing the employer's role in providing healthcare would be a huge unlock for more entrepreneurism. Giant missed opportunity by the Obama admin.

This can improve in many forms, for example:
- we can improve safety nets so more people are able to take more entrepreneurial risks (eg not tie healthcare to employer)
- we can encourage more smaller local investments instead of fewer larger investments (by naming is cheaper/safer/more tax advantageous for people to make their first small investments, such as by incentivizing cooperative structures)
- more incentives for using small local upstarts rather than megacorps who can afford to subsidize their way into monopolies
- in MEV sense, that can mean breaking up large lucrative transactions into lots of small auctions where one player can't win them all

I think these opportunities are all around us, we just have to train our eye to identify them
