    i feel like “reform” isn’t strong enough of a word for what needs to be done with the supreme court. “fucking overhaul” sounds closer

      It needs “reform” as in it needs to be completely dismantled and re-formed with all new justices.

            Mandatory retirement age for all public officials would be nice. Tag it to mean life expectancy, -10 years.

            It would incentivize politicians to take care of the population in the long term.

              I do especially like the idea of basing it on average life expectancy; if they want to hold on to power, they’ll have to try and make people live longer. Biggest bang for their buck will be universal healthcare

      Funny, because to me the meaning of reform can be as serious as using the guillotine.
      Reform is when minor adjustments and changes are not enough. Reform is a complete overhaul.
