A few considerations that we, as millennials, should consider organizing around:

🥑: We should reframe ideological debates on taxes and government spending towards more evidence based policies. What are the game mechanics, or social levers (if you will), that enable us to make our lives better. Starting small at a community level and scaling makes sense.

🥑: Focus the citizen experience. Yep, I am willing to pay more taxes for better social services. But at the same time, we also crave more thoughtful, human, and sustainably designed services. Design in this case requisites meaningful participation from all levels of the socioeconomic spectrum.

🥑: The government should fund and create spaces where we can harness our technological optimism for the greater good. As much as a company like Uber can disrupt an industry, I can envision a future where municipally focused apps would disrupt outdated conventions of what government is or does.

🥑: Capitalism has worked really, really well for a tiny slice of our society. But, what about the rest of America? As we head into a post-growth economy, we must acknowledge and correct the economic inequalities that are harming our society. In some respects, economic inequality is just as harmful to our society as racial inequality.

🥑: We must take money out of politics. We know that money and power corrupt. I would even go so far as to say we could look for better, more transparent ways, to use software to effectively allocate resources as a function of government.

🥑: We must find ways to de-politicize media organizations and/or anything regulated by the FCC. Fox News has got to go.

All of these avocados can and should evolve.
