    First, we need standardized testing.

    I'm guessing these things hold back blacks and latinos from graduating. Kind of like eliminating standardized tests, which are totally racist.

    Next up: eliminating credit scores, which are also racist. Just like the Ninja loans of the early 2000s.

    The path to Idiocracy.

    When you’re born the government should just give every person $10M. That’s it. Good luck. Turn it into $0 or $100m. Go to school, or don’t. We don’t care. Work, or don’t. Just here is your money. Everyone given same chance financially. No excuses. Of course your parents might be crack heads so that hurts but at least you’ve got some money.

    The government doesn’t actually have any money to hand out without a working population to tax to death. They don’t, nor have they ever, created any goods or services to fund their own endeavors. It’s literally never happened. All taxes.

    Government is a service that we fund. We don't want them generating huge profits.

    We should be charging more for the rights to drill on public land.

    No, honestly we don't want that to be a profitable venture for the government. Honestly that just needs to be illegal.

    Time to start turning our plastic waste back into oil for lubricant until we extract it back out of the ocean.

    Ending proficiency testing isn't saying students don't need to know how to read. Teachers were able to judge whether students could read long before mania for standardized proficiency tested.
