Seriously.

You know, I have this on my list also because I was thinking about things like the Electoral College and gerrymandering and even how the Constitution, you know, says that Congress shouldn't infringe on someone's right to vote.

But in our new founding document, we're going to give people an affirmative right to vote.

One person, one vote, and making sure we're leading from that place of equity.

Okay, that feels like a fundamental governmental role.

I was saying, what about public funding of elections?

You know, like thinking about something that could get money out of politics or things that I hear about all the time.

I'll put that one as part of my list.

Funding.

How about you next?

Education.

What do we want to say about education?

Like, that is part of the government's fundamental role?

We think about public education, things like that?

Yeah, I think that's a great point.

I mean, when I talk to, again, where people bring their cynicism into government, a lot of times the roots of that are in poor public education, about people thinking as if government in cities or in rural places have not provided their first function.

So let's put that on there.

100%.

There has been a movement to privatize.

We know the Department of Education, things like that.
