Ask Lemmy

I have actually been thinking about this:

1. For every single cent put into AI creation of anything ( model, scraper, not, etcetera ), all companies/peoples involved are required to quintuple that for AI detection and prove their funds/researchers/devs are being put towards it That, or their company/people will be blacklisted from working in the US and their services cut off from the general US public.
2. For schools, bring back being held back, require mandatory language/tech literacy classes required for graduation, and allocating funds to better pay teachers ( potentially even making them essential government workers ) alongside upgrading schools to modernize them.
3. Government officials in the senate and house only get 2 terms with the stipulation they aren't fossils and are paid wage of, maximum, thrice as much as the lowest minimum wage in the country. Would free up so much money for things like helping education. Same monetary restrictions would be placed on myself as president, allowing me to make the claim I'm not above the American people and that by rejecting this deal that congress and the house think they deserve more privilege than everyone else. Really plant the seeds that politicians work for the common folk.
4. Bring back the tax on rich people. Bring it down hard and clamp down on them being able to put their assets into foreign assets to hide their wealth.
5. All companies will be required to send mail through the post and receive return mail indicating your data can be collected. Any company that doesn't reply will be blacklisted and unable to operate in any capacity in the US. This would also include a provision to remove all currently collected data as well.

If #2 is too big for a single idea, then modernizing and making teachers essential government employees is top priority on that list. Otherwise, the list would be:

1. AI companies providing thrice the research/dev time and cost of creating anything AI with the same consequences as above.
2. Modernizing schools, with teachers becoming essential government employees as part of that package.
3. Congress, house, and presidency get a maximum wage of thrice the lowest minimum wage across the country
4. Taxing the rich and monitoring their wealth as an insurance policy for them not to bankrupt the country via capital flight.
5. Data collection and selling requiring snail mail with the same consequences as above.

I doubt I'd get a second term. I have the strongest feeling the rich would run so many smear campaigns against me ( and hopefully get sued to oblivion because of it ) that I'd be doomed if I tried getting a second term.
