πŸ“± Public Tech

🌐 Social Media

  • πŸ‘Ž Private social media companies sold out the American people.

    • βœ… As new material breaches a popularity threshold and passes a quality audit, buy the rights from the author, move it into the public domain, and remove the cost of access

πŸ“Š Patriot Metrics

  • πŸ’° Today we measure, mandate, and reward the hoarding of private profits and generate massive inequality.
  • βš–οΈ In order to balance the scales, let’s begin by measuring patriotism.
  • πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ Patriot metrics measure the degree to which businesses improve the lives of their employees, customers, and communities.
  • πŸš€ Patriot metrics can drive change by
    • πŸ“’ spreading awareness, which allows individuals to support patriotic businesses and pressure greedy businesses to change
    • πŸ›οΈ enabling tax policies that incentivize patriotism
    • πŸ”Ž allowing for the study, identification, and regulation of extremely unpatriotic practices
  • βœ… Examples
    • πŸ’° Measure the Geni coefficient across every employee of a business to see how well they distribute wealth internally
    • πŸ“ˆ Measure the change of wealth distribution over time of a business’ owners, customers, and surrounding communities to yield insights into exploitative pricing, lasting product and service value, and community impact

🍎 Food Security

  • πŸ’Έ Money doesn’t grow on trees, but food does.

🏘️ Housing for All

  • πŸ—οΈ Build housing. Lots of it. Everywhere.
