We could really do for a parallel currency in the US to help stabilise the devaluation of our dollar.
UBI would also smooth some of the potholes along the way.
My proposal is to tie peoples engagement with this platrom (policiesforpeople.com) to value via a blockchain.
Not only will it create a forever record of policy metrics, it will incentivize the people to engage with this.
Give a coin for every vote cast on the proposals of others. (We’d need a thumb down button as well though to be fair). Give the proposer of the policy a coin for every vote they recieve in support of their policy.
Tier the proliferation of policy proposals, so that they begin as proposals to your own neighborhood and as they attain support hyperlocally, it can be presented to ever larger audiences. A proposal which attained nationwide adoption could concievably earn the proposer the sort of crypto that lands helicopters on yachts.
If our nations founders had devices such as we have today, im sure they would have quickly adopted the direct approach over a representative one without hesitation.
It cant be a bigger disaster than the current circus, can it?
This would undoubtedly require a constitutional amendment, and it would be tricky to get the legislature to replace themselves with a website for the people, but if it is promoted publicly enough, perhaps We The People can persuade them to step down?
