The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett · Secretary Pete Buttigieg: The American Dream Is DEAD. We're Running Out Of Time To Fix It! · 3 Aug 2026 podcast

But the Stoic philosopher Seneca, the Roman philosophers writing about this kind of stuff more than 2,000 years ago, talking about how we are so careful about who can get our money.

And are very up in arms if anybody looks like they're cheating us or taking our money.

But then our time, which is the one thing where we have every reason to be even more stingy about it than money because you can get more money but you can't get more time in your life.

We let it get wasted in all kinds of ways.

viable proposal?

Part of that overlaps with what I'm talking about.

I do think a public share of the profits, which could mean a public share of the ownership, can make sense.

And again, for reasons that I shared earlier, I think that would be fair.

I do think we need to weigh whether the right way to make sure the public has a say in how these companies behave is to be on the board versus just to have some rules, to make sure that the rules are such that the companies can do what they do best, create value, innovate,

But they can't do it in a way that hurts people, which is generally how regulation is supposed to work.

I mean, I say this having been in the cabinet of the Department of Transportation where our job was to regulate companies.

So what that meant was we have something like the FAA, right, the Federal Aviation Administration.

You know, it doesn't create aircraft.

It doesn't invent aviation technology.

What it does is it sets a very elaborate set of rules to make sure that aviation is safe.

And the consequence of that is actually an incredible unsung civilizational achievement.

Just in the time I was Secretary of Transportation, we had 4 billion people get on an airplane, 4 billion passenger employments on commercial airplanes.

The number of fatalities was zero.

Zero out of 4 billion.

Crazy.
