Electoral reform. Abolish the electoral college, end first past the post, and make SCOTUS an elected position with term limits, as well as term limiting Congress and instituting universal mail in voting nationwide.
Top to bottom education reform. Straight up completely change how education works.
Trust busting wave. Google, EA, Uniliever, Disney, and so many others.
Crackdowns on elements of social media and dating apps that encourage sensationalism or otherwise harm society. (Dating apps I might go as far as nationalization.)
Fund third spaces, in a similar manner to how other countries are involved in arts funding.
Subject matter experts would be involved in all of course.
Best one so far, hits it the very roots of our issues. Education for example; We wouldn't be where we are at if we were properly educated.
Not sure what you have against dating apps. I've read so much hate and I just don't get it. You pay your subscription, you get people's words and pictures and various ways to sort them. I expect nothing more or less.
Dating apps as a business model are incentivized to not actually be good at matching people so they keep paying the sub fee.
For example, when Match Group (a company that would absolutely be a part of the trust busting wave, might actually be the most blatant monopoly in the US) bought OKCupid, they got rid of a whole host of features that made it easier to find someone who shares interests with you.
And I think Red Pill getting popular is part of the end result of this: they encourage a monolithic view of how humanity and human attraction work.
Electoral reform is the big one. It needs a 2/3 majority, so it's very unlikely.
But it would be my top priority too.
