my political platform:
- electoral reform, particularly approval voting, score voting, STAR voting, and sortition/election-by-jury
- efficient taxes: we should only tax negative externalities (robust carbon and tax on the pollution from cars including tire and brake dust) and land rents. no sales/VAT/income tax or anything of that nature.
- UBI (to replace virtually all other social programs, with the exception of universal healthcare) ~20k
- fund it by printing money (this is fine because it will automatically push up land values and the price of pigovian taxes)
- abolish zoning
- abolish public parking like Japan
- open borders
- privatize roads wherever possible. charge tolls otherwise.
- massive cycling infrastructure
- enormous increase in the use of nuclear power
