1 term for all elected positions, nationwide. 99% of problems solved
I could be fine with a maximum of 12 years in the Swamp, unless you’re elected POTUS then you get an additional 4/8 years

They’ve been pretty much impossible to enforce since the 60’s because the plaintiff has to prove ill intent on the writer’s end. If someone writes a bullshite story, they should pay the price. Not sure if that was some shitty attempt at a “gotcha” or something

This is the only one I have a problem with, the tax money I pay should go to the local school.

Legalize all drugs
The ONLY way I'm cool with this one is if NO tax money can be spent on rehab.
You wanna spend your life as a meth-head, go right ahead, but don't come crying to me when your shitty decisions lead to your demise.
My suggestion is to have special prisons for drug users and have stricter laws/penalties for drug use.
Let's face it. Heroin addicts are worthless, as are meth-heads and people addicted to other hard drugs. The only way to curb the sale of the drugs is to whittle down the market for them. If no one is buying, then you can't sell them.
There's a reason very few people make wagon wheels any more: there's no market for them.

bullshite.
More money does not equal better outcomes. Louisiana is a perfect example of this. Local taxes to support local schools.
MFP is intended to narrow those gaps.

Nah, besides every family has someone they are willing to give up
but seriously what it would do is Shorten the length of war, resolution faster

4/5.
I disagree on the last point. You don’t take good schools and funnel money to shite ones. I get the premise you are going for there but shite schools are money pits and you can’t have a good school district without parents at minimum supporting teachers and holding their children accountable.
I don’t want my stolen property tax money paying for some school in south GA when I chose to live in a county with some of the best schools.
A voucher program would be better.
The rest are all agreeable points.

Sure you can. Also, in a year or two there will be other good schools coming on line. There may be a bubble where things are bumpy, but once a supply and demand equilibrium is established this is the best way.
Education in the K-12 realm should be portable.
Plenty of underfunded school districts (especially in Louisiana) use a lot of these "portable" temporary buildings to deal with overcapacity or to provide temporary capacity after a natural disaster damages the facility. Portables create poor learning environments and do not scale effectively. Most of these structures cannot be transferred to multiple sites without costly refurbishment that quickly exceeds their initial cost. Districts are constantly trying to raise funds to replace portable classrooms with permanent facilities. What you are imagining doesn't exist yet and if it did, it would likely be too costly for most school districts, especially in a poor state like Louisiana.

2. End "Affirmative Action", racial quotas and set asides, and remove anyone who got their job that way.
3. Enact Voter ID, end vote harvesting and other fraud.
4. Reform education -- eliminate tenure, purge tenured radicals, abolish "athletic scholarships"
5. Break up California into five states and combine New England into one
6. Allow all drug addicts access to free drugs on the condition that when you OD, you're dead.

And how will they distinguish the fact from fiction on the internet??
How are they supposed to discern facts from bias in the public school system.
Critical thinking isn't taught at all. Todays parents can't teach it to their children either since they were brought up in Propaganda High, and Indoctrinate University too.

School money should be distributed to parents in the form of vouchers and let a competitive market determine where people go.
How about they just eliminate school taxes and let the parents keep the money rather than doing this redistribution thing?

-Force social media into either being a platform or a publisher, then require moderation independent of that company for "platform" status.
-Neuter public sector unions
-Remove immunity from prosecution for elected officials for things they say about non-public figures.
-Allow school choice regardless of district. Let the individual schools succeed or fail on their own merit.
-Institute strict term and age limits on being an elected member of the judicial or executive branch or an appointed member of the judiciary:
Age limit: You can no longer serve in the House after age 65, Senate after age 70 or as President/Vice-President after age 75.
Term limit: Maximum of 20 years total elected federal service or judicial service. If you are ever elected to the House, Senate or Presidency you are disqualified to serve as a Federal or Supreme Court Judge and vice-versa. You can spend no more than 40 total years on the judiciary combined as a federal court, appellate court or Supreme Court. This way, you're either a Legislator or executive, but you can't be both.
