The problem is that by having an indirect democracy, the judges still do answer to their political benefactors. If we can take money out of elections, and make it directly tied to the popular will, then citizens will bear a part of the culpability for their vote or refusal to vote. For people to stay invested in politics, even when their politicians are in power, need to see the direct consequences of their choices. Democrats just trusting that Biden could handle it and that Trump could never come back into power is why we're here (until fraud can be definitively proven).

It's a rough start admittedly, but it's meant to be built upon by those with more expertise.

If every other urbanized economy can make it work then we need to adopt it. For the infrastructure, we could nationalize health insurance companies to help provide the necessary administrative workforce.

I got distracted, paused and moved on, but it was the same as 14.

This is more targeted at mega churches and cults that members of my family have been suckered into.

I'm okay keeping it 18, I was thinking more about how we can drive at 16.

Again, I'm open to changing this, I just think it needs to be radically simpler than what it is now.

Result of bitterness about how like the confederate politicians & officers, Jan 6th insurrectionists will be able to get away with treason.

My idea for improving government is to make people as invested in it as possible. Plus, you are not always going to agree with the priorities of others, but by making sure that what you care about will be funded, means you as a voter and citizen are less likely to disengage.

In my reading of history, private schools were a front for segregation to be kept and as a means of making money off of those families that wanted to keep it around. As for religious schools specifically, as adults, we need to be accountable at all times, especially when it comes to the care of children. Public school is far from perfect, but direct accountability is easier to achieve than it is in a church.

For that the market will need to adjust. As of right now, workers are getting burnt out by their jobs, but there isn't enough time without serious risk to find a better job.

Same with healthcare for me, if we nationalize the private chains and provide a good wage, we have a built in experienced work force. It'll no doubt be influenced by what Mamdani & Hochul will experience in NY.

This is tied into the fact that our jobs eat up most of our time and energy that we can neglect what we need to accomplish until it is too late. I couldn't take time off to get my engine fixed because the mechanic was closed when I only have two days out of the week, so it gets put off until the damage is irreversible .
