(I’m not super smart and I don’t know how a lot of shit works but)
My radical (incomplete list of) ideas for America:
Four/five hour work shifts
6 months paid maternity/paternity leave and the parents can switch off and get the whole year
High speed rail cross country to all major cities
(We need public transport overhaul basically)
Universal basic income. If you want more money you can get a job but it’s not necessary for life
Native Americans should NOT pay taxes (apparently they do here. I didn’t know that. I thought we had the same rule as Canada where they don’t have to and the fact they do I think it’s bull shit. Omg we owe them so much in back taxes too)
Members of Congress cannot have a law/politics/business/or business science degree. They can have a Minor but their Major must be in a field other than those. Obviously we need law majors etc. to help run things just NOT for OFFICES. I want science and art majors in there. I want “the rest of life” represented in there.
Age CAPS on certain political offices (you cannot run after a certain age)
National minimum wage needs to be a percentage of the highest grossing income of the nation. I think if we make it a percentage then that keeps it tethered to the highest income and maintains the gap. We all make more money as the big guys make more money and benefits everyone. Also we just have to track the highest income and make a simple Calc every few years to adjust the pay. Everyone can do the math.
Bring back home economics and shop class. Also we need local wildlife and botany as required courses in school.
Get rid of gerrymandering and lobbying. Just grid the place.
We need more public UNDEVELOPED land. There needs to be a percentage of public/undeveloped land per square mile of city.
Demilitarize police. Holy shit why are our cops outfit like an army? We HAVE an army wtf!
There’s more but I can’t think of it all now
