It was a graveyard graph

Interesting game, the only way to win is to not play.

Not really, such a thing effectively depends on the same people already in power.

Essentially, the US government is impossible to fix while regular people are so easily manipulated by propaganda and the interests of the wealthy.

You'd have to pay the anti-lobbying lobbyists to do that....

Or, just maybe, I've expanded on your original point.

Because neither party would? The red koolaide people would dismiss this idea immediately, because it's clearly scary communism. The blue koolaide people would pretend to support it while asking for your votes, then proceed to conveniently forget about it entirely, or pretend to try to do it while also receiving lobbying money from nearly every corporation and anti-workers-union type organization.

The people that would support this are not part of either party.

Or even regular ones

Ehhh, you've got the right spirit, but that won't happen lol.

What would be useful is banning, or at least limiting, speculative real estate ownership. A liveable home being unoccupied for no productive reason is a massively arrogant thing for a society to allow.

This is really the case for all essential services (which I believe factual new is). Just look at the mess healthcare has made, or the 'food industry', or education.

Try adding some plants too. Having the occasional distraction of watering or picking dead leaves available is useful, without being excessively distracting.

Also, I guess people like oxygen and decorations, it whatever.

Fission and fusion reactors are really more like in-between renewable and non-renewable. Sure, it relies on materials that are finite, but there is way, way more of that material available in comparison to how much we need.

Making this distinction is necessary to un-spook people who have gone along with the panic induced by bad media and lazy engineering of the past.
