@JPummil@genomic.social "Taxing Mega Churches" might be difficult b/c then you find yourself having to define "what qualifies as a Mega-church".

@JPummil@genomic.social There's room to squeeze in end monopolies, although you can argue that's covered by the billionaire, and the unrealized gains elements This is an excellent 2028 plan.

@JPummil@genomic.social Baby steps to eliminating the electoral college: get states to stop making it winner takes all. Electoral college votes could be proportional to the state's popular vote. That would make it more representative without the smaller states feeling like they're giving up influence.

@JPummil@genomic.social I'm always ambivalent about SCOTUS term limits. It's a high-knowledge professional job and those tend to benefit from long terms of service. The court definitely needs to be expanded, and the appointment process needs an overhaul, so I'd be more inclined to start there.

@JPummil@genomic.social I don’t think that’s the right cap on congressional salary; it disadvantages representatives of poorer districts

@JPummil@genomic.social Further thoughts: • Peg congressional salaries to some function of federal minimum wage • Civil and criminal fines and fees must be defined as a percentage of the offender's net worth • Being convicted of bribing a government official, or of accepting a bribe as a government official, is an automatic capital offense • Eliminate most executive powers, esp. any non-emergency-related domestic action (undocumented immigration is not an emergency)

@JPummil@genomic.social a good start... Although nothing about the environment or energy wut?... Pretty strange given the gravity. I would add at the very least: transition to renewables, hold polluters accountable.

@JPummil@genomic.social if it is not already in the list. Stop a president from ruling solely through decrees. This is just ridiculous. Limit the amount in a given timeframe. Add a mandatory ratification time of 30 days - non extendable. Restructure all checks and balances as they obviously don't work. If the speaker of the house does not open the house he gets automatically replaced. Representatives need to be in the house 90% of the time otherwise they get replaced.

@JPummil@genomic.social I disagree with term limits for SCOTUS but I absolutely favor a mandatory retirement age for everyone holding elected or appointed office. Every 10 years during the census, calculate the average lifespan of Americans, and that's the retirement age. Congrats, you beat the odds. Go be old on your own time, not mine.
