It is more logical that in countries with a larger population, currencies of the Serbian dinar type (1,000 USD = 108.1 RSD) are used, and in countries with a smaller population, currencies of the American dollar type are used.

E.g. In America, a country with a larger population, a loaf of bread costs 108 US dinars (1,000 US dollars = 108.1 US dinars), and in Canada, a country with a smaller population, a loaf of bread costs 1 US dollar.

How do we know which currency to use?

We observe the number of inhabitants of the country, the area of the country and the geographical location of the country and compare it with other countries.

E.g. Compared to America, Serbia has a smaller population, a smaller land area and no access to the sea, so it is more logical to use dollars in Serbia and dinars in America (1,000 USD = 108.1 RSD).

Right now, it's upside down, and it hurts both countries a lot.


Second thing that I would change in America is the way of billing for water, electricity, internet and telephone.

Houses that are closer to the place where water is obtained (rivers, lakes, springs) should pay less for water compared to houses that are further away from the place where water is obtained.

Houses that are closer to the place where electricity is obtained (hydroelectric power plants, solar power plants) should pay less for electricity compared to houses that are further away from the place where electricity is obtained.

Houses that are closer to the place where the cable signal for phone, internet and television comes from (main cable stations) should pay less for phone, internet and television compared to houses that are further away from the place where the cable signal comes from (main cable stations).

People who live on the first floor of a skyscraper should pay less for water, electricity, telephone, TV and Internet than people who live on the top floor of the same skyscraper.

E.g. Libya has a large land area and a smaller population compared to other countries, and Egypt compared to Libya has a smaller land area and a larger population. This would mean that in Egypt the amount of consumed water, electricity, internet, TV and telephone is valued more monetarily in relation to the distance from the source from where it is taken, and in Libya the distance to the source from which water, electricity, internet, telephone and TV is taken valued more monetarily in relation to the amount of water consumed.

WISDOM IN THE IDEA

In India, China and other countries that have a larger population, the price of charging the length to the source of water, electricity, telephone, TV and Internet is not important, it can be zero price. With a large number of residents, the price of consumed water, electricity, internet, TV and telephone is important, and the price of the length to the source should be zero or close to zero.

The wisdom of the idea is to use the correct way of charging the costs of water, electricity, telephone, TV and Internet for the future generations of those countries, because the population can change. So, if the number of inhabitants changes, they can change the method of payment.
 
Well that certainly makes the case for the small modular nuke reactors because according to you electricity and such would be more expensive in built-up (mostly blue) areas......I'm fine with that.

That said the NG fired power plant in my AO (along with the hydroelectric one) could easily power my AO with plenty leftover. The leftover should be sold to NOtVA (where it goes) for a much higher rate to drastically offset my cost. ;)

Those built-up places should be paying out the ass for electricity......Remember most all of it comes from the Hinterlands.....Why should we pay more to power their ever expanding NOtVA data centers and such?

The only thing Canada and European countries do better than us is they don't drown everything in sugar. American soft drinks are undrinkable. You go abroad and these drinks have half the sugar. As a young lad, I was brought at jar of Nutella from Germany. It was the most heavenly thing I'd ever had. About 20 years ago, I found Nutella in a supermarket here and bought it, hoping to relive my earlier experience. It was horrible. So sweet I couldn't eat it.
 
I would outlaw the Republican and Democrat parties.
 
There would be 1305 members of the House of Representatives. A proper tripling.
 
War is a terrible thing, with all those icky guns and all that loud shooting.

I'd end the war in Ukraine and normalize relations with Russia, so I could once again purchase cheap, Russian-made ammunition.
 
I'd shut down the electoral college so that everyone's vote actually means something.
Fortunately the founders anticipated this and put safeguards in place so that a handful of populous states could not DICATE to all the other states as if they were dictators.
 
It would probably result in no more GOP presidents. One person's total disaster, is another person's celebration.
I would result in almost half the country being silenced. The founders understood this.

The only people who would celebrate it are those who want one party rule.

It wouldn't make for one party rule, because each state would still vote for their congresspeople. Just one party rule in the oval office.

We don’t need a president always of the same philosophy being in office.

The founders created the electoral college for a reason. That reason is still valid today.

If I could do two things, first it would be congressional term limits. I would end political office being a career.

Second, I would repeal the 17th amendment and return the original system of senators representing the interests of the state legislatures. The House of Reps represents the people and the Senate represents the majority interests of individual states.

We need to return to a more federalist system of government.

Here is their reason:
The writers of the Constitution devised the Electoral College as the method of choosing presidents because direct election was impractical, due to the poor systems of communication and transportation that existed in the late 1700s . That reason, of course, isn't valid today.

It's also said that it is a compromise between the election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens. That one is still valid today, yet it's not by a popular vote.

That’s an opinion not based on anything factual.
