The Economy is here is the biggest issue. And government involvement by decree is a major major problem. Better economy = better lives for everyone.

To solve, we could begin by removing all internal trade barriers. And try to remove as many as we can with the US, so that there is more free trade and free labour movement, like the EU.

Example. You can catch 100 Lobster in Maine this week. A customer who owns a restaurant in Iowa can buy it from you, in advance. The fisher ships the lobsters to them overnight. No middle men. No government policy getting in the way. Imagine how much more opportunity for that lobster fisher. In our set up, everyone has to do everything exactly the same, by direction of govt fiat. You can say what you like negatively about the US, but "freedom" applied to the economy has a major positive outcome for them.This is 2025. Innovation and brains are the name of the game in economics this day and age. Not raw material or natural resources.
