I am reading what ur writing I think it's critically important to for everyone myself included to talk to people one disagrees with.

Well ur talking about america in this situation and well yeah I agree America is completely fucked its the worlds greatest third world country. I never said its different now I'm simply washing my hands of any responsibility for something that happened 100 years ago.

If I was in charge of america here's what I would do to fix the country, let me know what u think

  1. Abolish private funding for all schools
  2. Mandate that every school receives equall funding per student
  3. Make minimum wage $25/hour, mandate that any pay per unit (gig economy) 10% of sale price is minimum pay for the person who sold it. Both these apply to priaoners
  4. Abolish the death penalty
  5. Prison funding per person is 'funding * (1- recidivism averge of prison%)'
  6. Nationalise healthcare
  7. Any money a politician receives from anyone must be public and legally referred to as bribes
  8. Implement liquid democracy
  9. You have a right to bear arms if you have served for military, police, or fire service or have undergone a free national training program with a once every 4 year refresher
  10. Abolish income taxes and replace it with a tax of 10% for every time money gets transfered to a different legal entity
  11. Contracts cannot limit your ability to make a contract with another person or ability to engage with someone in the courts
  12. You have a right to privacy and self autonomy
  13. Warranty must provide upgrades to critical design flaws, replacement parts, and software, at cost, these must be available to anyone with no restrictions.
  14. Copyright length must equall patent length must equall warranty length
  15. The right to modify distribute and reverse engineer anythibg you have bought.
  16. No artificial restrictions my be placed upon any product that limits the user capability to modify it as the see fit.

Its long needs improvement and totally off the top of my head so I'd love to get some feedback.
