Ad-free YouTube like it used to be ...I don't mind the placement of products within a podcast, because it's the people's living, but when you are trying to watch something and every 5 minutes there is an ad its really annoying and don't want to pay 14 bucks to not have to see them.

Basic housing, food, health care and education. Make this a humanitarian
constitutional right. Far more than a law, that can easily be taken away.

Nothing fancy, just the bear minimum.

The idea that people are lazy and won't do anything is a fallacy.

They get bored too easily for that. And working would be necessary for anything more.

It's notable that with the advent of automation and artificial intelligence, this will become totally necessary. Automation and AI will take away the mundane jobs anyway. And creativity will be a high demand.

The most obvious thing doesn't apply to me personally because I'm male. But I would say sanitary products.
Healthcare always too expensive..

Property taxes. It seems ridiculous that I pay for the land, improve the land with a house and landscaping, improving the city, and then the city charges me for it.

They are not charging you for it, they are USING your land as a mechanism to extract tax dollars from you to run the city you live in.

If they never taxed your property, how else would they derive the required funding to run the city?

If you don't like paying property taxes, then move into an apartment and pay rent instead. But just remember, when you rent anything from a car to a house, you don't own the locks on the door.
@swirlie They are charging me, plain and simple, split hairs all you want. As for paying for it, the same way they would for most of the other things people want for free, and not property taxes.

Birth control pills. I already pay the healthcare insurance!!! Basically all meds and supplements that my doctors tell me to take and I have to cover the full price.
How about just the very effing breath you breathe? It’s real. There’s evil in it and I don’t fully understand it yet but it’s real😵‍💫
