Legalizing Prostitution just creates more Human Trafficking, as a result of allowing human traffickers to operate in the open under the guise of legality. We have decades of evidence that lead to this conclusion. We don't need to keep trying it.

UBI requires such a large reorganization of the economy that you may as well add democratization of the workplace, and it would get done earlier. I think both would be great personally.
Three the most important things are missing:
- abolish home education;
- mandatory elementary education;
- get rid of multiple-choice tests.
Most of the changes won't matter if people are uneducated or easily misled.

Can someone explain to me what "collateral for loan is realized gain" means?
Basically (and I'm not an expert here), the Uber rich get tax free spending money without taking big taxable salaries by leveraging their assets for super low interest loans. Current tax codes don't consider these loans as taxable income, but they're being used for the same things us peasants use our income for. By considering these cash flows as taxable, billionaires wouldn't be able to hide behind the "it's net worth not liquid income" bullshit these use to dodge taxes.
