Seeing as the politics community only allows links to articles, which I think is stupid horseshit. Let’s talk openly about changes we want to see here. I think the whole “this isn’t the place for politics” is a part of the reason we’re in this shit situation. We’ve let the greedy narcissists take over all discussion while we have no where to reasonably talk about policy.

I’ll start with a couple:

End presidential pardon

Raise federal minimum wage to $15

Federal cannabis legalization (buy/sell/grow)

End daylight savings
