Tourist cities should have hotel rooms by the hour that are actually clean when you just want to take a nap.
Instead of mandatory military service like some countries have, people should have mandatory public work for two years. Whether it be labor, clerical/administrative, etc, it could help young people learn a new skill, get guaranteed work to get the started, and could potentially save a ton in taxes. It would also create the opportunity to start getting caught up some things that keep getting swept under the rug like bridge maintenance , etc.
Yeah. Similar to this I think junior high should have a bigger focus on being outside. Like one semester should be spend camping or something. It’s such a formative time and so many kids spend it scrolling through reels. There is something so real and unforgiving about Mother Nature that a 13 year old should really know about.
the top 50% richest people should have
The rest of people are already working these mandatory jobs.
I’d include military service in that. But yes mandatory service for everyone.
Edit. No exceptions if your mom / dad is a senator or anything… medical? Great there is tons of paperwork that needs to be done. Basically every one yeah.
For me, there would be public holidays that celebrate social, cultural and scientific achievements.
A day of printing, the decoding of the human genome,… you know - real achievements, not only stories of some ancient folks being tortured to death and such.

Top comment, should be pinned. We need a gaggle of these. A gagglebyte.
Shhh! Nobody tell them…
A button on the TV that would make the remote beep so you can find it
That is a thing on the Nvidia Shield, actually!
Finally! I’ve had this thought ever since I was a kid.
Copyright should go back to 14 years.
Also exclusivity deals should be treated as the monopolies they are.
A law that prohibits labels from being too sticky that you can’t reuse the packaging. For example, I should absolutely be able to easily peel off the labels from empty wine bottles and glass jars so I can reuse them.
Or a more general “stickers must adhere stronger to themselves than to whatever they are stuck to”.
Stickers should have a greater sense of self worth and keep it together when people are trying to tear them apart.

Parking lot lights, that are in/ on each space. That indicates if there is a space available…. Less driving around the lot looking for a space
Many malls in Toronto have this. And as others have said, airports. Pearson International included.
When you get to baggage claim, if you then stand directly at the carousel blocking everyone’s view for more than 10 seconds, trap door opens and a system of pneumatic tubes forcibly jettisons you to the furthest point away in the airport for you to walk back.
Stand back, wait for your luggage to appear, then approach and get your bag and step back to the perimeter.
To get my VC funding in 2024, id also pitch that it “has AI” which is just facial recognition and if you get jettisoned twice in the same year, the third time goes into a shark pit or scorpion pit.
Best we can do is ill-tempered sea bass
How about mutated sea bass?
I’d make that deal with the Sharks. Sea bass today, sea urchins tommorow.
Yes please!

Voting days should be mandatory holidays
I’m 50 years old and for as long as I can remember voting days in my country are a national holiday from the lowest government post to the highest.
That’s a thing where I am from. Also, only day where alcohol cannot be sold, as you must do your duty sober. Fair compromise if you ask me: if I already know who I am voting for, I also had the prescience to buy my booze the night before :)
Absolutely
I feel like you’d probably enjoy wandering through the halfbakery…
Very cool website, thanks for sharing!
Is a functional government based on logic and compassion too much to ask/too cliché?
Renters rights legislation with enough teeth to make present and perspective landlords, both corporate and individual, think twice before not taking care of a property as though they lived there? (Yes, there are stories behind this one)
I guess a company that actually pays me what I’m worth (which I’m not even really looking for that much).
Retirement should be 45
