Definitely not against experimenting with certain kinds of wealth redistribution (e.g. UBI), but it's weird that these convos sometimes start with "which policy should we use to make the wealthy less wealthy?" rather than "which policy should we use to make the poor less poor?"

I think it’s related to risk tolerance
Like, in the sense that if you've secured the funding, you're golden, and you can work out the details later?

There’s risk in letting a rising tide lift all boats. If you can’t handle potential negative externalities of that you want to only manage downside risk, not take risks with more upside. Assuming the pie will get bigger is an inherent risk.
