Just do me the favor of starting with the first, or maybe just dissolving the security councils veto power, and keeping the UN together. I think many of us overlook what knowledge diplomats do learn of struggles in countries most citizens could never name, and some they can because our information is often localized. Maybe make a U.S. funded broadcasting nationally of their meetings with a council local and abroad mixed that give their briefings and present the views.

The entirety of the U.S. could be housed for maybe $3 trillion dollars. Since Trump took office the market has taken an $11 trillion dollar loss. We could have housed everyone with free rent/mortgage and made them nice, put Americans to work boosting the economy (making those refurbished/new homes) and also taking away the expenditures on said rent/mortgage making it so more money will be spent elsewhere to boost the economy and balance out the not spending to landlords/corporations who own them. To think of that in another manner. In 2 months, the market lost 44% of the U.S.'s GDP.

More than twice the GDP of any other country in the world except China, was lost in 2 months.

While I like the thought, still terribly bad in my opinion. Presidents should never have a say in any of that. That's where we have fooled most of America. Legislation can make such a law and then the president can execute it by arresting those who do not follow the law that was made.

The president is a local cop and international diplomat. Locally they should do nothing that is not previously written by Congress and Passed the Senate and then signed (or not signed) by them or previous office holders.

International diplomat means they also cannot declare war and cannot make trade rules. They are a spokesperson.

If I were President I would follow the constitution and the amendments made thereafter. I would never want to be president, but if I ran I would focus my campaign on educating the populous on what the job is supposed to be, and who the members in their communities/cities/county/state are that they should be pushing for to do great things for them.

I would cheer for them to elect legislatives who will write thorough adaptable bills that can help their constituents and keep a platform along the lines of "Presidents don't make laws, Vote for good people who will write good legislation for your community, and please don't make me have to perform a job that hurts our people. America's governing is decided by your representatives"

Gerrymandering is what Senators are for the most part. I'll drawn lines not according to populous depicting who's word means more than another. If they drew a map and said that Albany New York had a representative and New York City has a representative and their votes were worth the same for matters dealt within the state of New York people would find it deeply unfair. The voice of the many is meant to outweigh the voice of the few in a democratic form of government. That doesn't mean that New York wouldn't vote to support rural areas as the people know you don't grow agriculture in cities. To keep food plentiful and cheap, they would vote to ensure the rural areas have what they need as well. If they don't have enough, they would start to move away and hurt the population. If they have a lot, more people would move from the cities to the rural areas yearning for the same, which would decrease with increased farmers and eventually balance out. Note, people who live in cities are more likely to vote left of those who live in rural areas. Yet those who live in cities are the ones voting for candidates who bring up issues like the bees dying out. They believe in supporting the bees not because they actually care about the species, but because they know their deaths would cause struggles for rural areas and drive food prices up and cause scarcity. This isnt all black and white of course, but you get my drift. People aren't pushing for healthcare for city dwellers only, they are pushing for healthcare for all. When 500,000 people 10,000,000 peoples voices, it is not in the best interest of the people.

White straight male, I live in Tennessee right now. I have to avoid being in public areas around people for extended periods to keep myself out of trouble. I remember I had an appointment I had to go to recently right after the Zelensky Trump meeting at the white house (maybe an hour). I walked in and they have 1 large TV in the lobby playing Fox news and the lady behind the counter is saying "I don't see how he can be President if he doesn't want peace" regurgitating some bull shit narrative she's being fed. It takes a lot to not say, "He wants peace, if someone breaks into your house in the middle of the night and takes your kitchen and signs a peace deal because you want peace and then keeps shooting at you in other rooms then takes the dining room, are you in the wrong for saying the only way towards peace is to get out of your house?"

Then she can have the voice of 10 million people count for 1 vote. And a Senator from Montana can have the voice of ~5% of that count for the same 1 vote.

Sorry for sounding down about it, we need better senators, but we need to overhaul the way the Senate works

How is it just blamed on "the west". China, India and other "Eastern" countries are in the UN as well. Would you not have to say it just shows they care nothing about the international community and it is really about their control and power as well? The world is watching executions around the world, and people are just being censored to/from it by their governments. Israel's biggest trading partner is China by far, almost twice the U.S. Not any huge press from them about stopping.

Why do I have a feeling they are talking about the horrible company, Johnson and Johnson. You know, the company that has been actively fucking America's best interests and health over for decades

While I understand the point, won't this just make politicians run on lies even more?

Curious to see what kind of answers you get. I haven't ever considered becoming trans, and don't feel like I have identified in anyway other than a guy, but I've heard research shows testosterone blockers slow or can stop male pattern baldness from occuring/progressing. Being that out society has shifted from being extremely have to be fit all the time, I wonder if there are people who prefer to have their hair from youth and want to try it.

Even the cheap ones have a self clean setting. It just sprays water down the nozzle, and is between on and off. Turn it to that for a second and then off. Never had an issue. When I clean the toilet I use the same brush to glance over it, but really it stays clean on its own
