1.California wants (to steal) your businessby Harris Sockel, Editor Last weekend, Ro Khanna doubled-down on his support for a 5% billionaire asset seizure in California, tweeting, delusionally, that illiquid founders (whose worth is tied up in their companies) should pledge stock as collateral for loans to pay the government.
