Because of the stupidity of the world today, I decided to write a list of a rules (in no order) that I think are a no brainer. This list will change as my values and new information changes. Oh, and this list is particularly for the US.

Sensible Laws

• 4 day work week
• flat minimum hourly wage for all workers no exceptions. should be a livable wage tied to inflation
• guarentee pto. paternity/maternity leave
• products should be listed as price that is paid which must include tax, tips, etc. this effectively removes tipping
• corporations can only deal in us currency. no more gift cards, points, crypto, etc
• companies should list all products on a page and their price (means no more specialized discounts as it will have to be listed on this page)
• ranked choice voting. ends gerrymandering
• if companies are bought, they must use the same name. all companies must list their shareholders. this avoids the illusion of competition
• no more stock buybacks
• increase taxes on the rich. 1 (this is interesting, but i still need to understand it in depth)
• convert offices into homes. since there are window requirements, just put homes on the outskirts of the building and the center can become a grocery, hospital, etc. a building becomes a 15 min city. legalize SROs
• switch from imperial to metric system
• no more daylight savings
• get rid of all coins and only deal in dollars
• add common sense privacy laws. eg the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). repeal patriot act and related surveillance systems
• filling out taxes should be one click approval directly with the government
• corporations supply chains must be ethical
• get schematics and right to repair. maybe even pursue open source code?
• one national id instead of having multiple (social security, license, passport, maybe more?)
• pursue public transport. combine into one national org? free public transport?
• lower the cost of prescriptions by allowing generics to be mass produced earlier
• increase funding for international aid (food, vaccine, etc. distriburion)
• remove no compete clause
• no death penalty
• sensible immigration
• net neutrality
• slavery should never be allowed. even as a punishment to crime. 1
• be/love who you want, as long as it’s consenual
• work with nature, not against it. 1 & 2
• fight climate change
• regulate weapons locally and worldwide (unfortunately once pandora’s box is open, its nearly impossible to close, so i unfortunately cant say eliminate it)
• get vaccines in hands of people who need it
• plant edible plants (eg, veggies, fruits, etc.) in public areas instead of having fields of grass
• direct payment to citizens. let businesses fail if they flounder

Goals To Strive For (Mostly My Musings):

• guarantee basic living standards for all. food, water, shelter, and free healthcare
• no more president/kings. congress should be increased in proportion to the us population and supreme court should have term limits
• switch to utc to converge on one timezone
• switch to one world currency. maybe usd can combine with euro. crypto can be another option but riskier as there can be network takeovers. bancor can also be implemented
• gov should create “gov companies” that compete with the industry. itll have initial funding to get off its feet and should be self sufficient. all products will be public domain so corporations can build off of it. the purpose of gov companies is to regulate the industry by competition. if a private company is bankrupted, itll be merged/created into the appropriate gov company. no more bailing out corporations
