| Collapse all
- Affordability - groceries, utilities, housing.
The American Dream is currently out of reach for most people.
We got here mainly due to the consolidation of wealth & power across every industry - monopolies & oligarchies.
We have 4 major meatpackers in the US, 6 major media companies, a handful of Banks, Airlines & Auto Manufacturers. Not to mention Private Equity buying up entire neighborhoods. This leads to less competition, higher prices and worse quality of products & services.
We must use the existing Anti-Trust laws to break up these monopolies. Then, we need to write new Anti-Trust laws to break up the Tech Oligarchy.
Finally, we must go after corporations that price gouge under the guise of inflation. - AI & Data Center Regulation I am a Software Engineer & former Machine Learning Researcher. No one in Congress currently understands technology so we are left with the Tech Oligarchs writing their own rules. AI chat bots should be BANNED for kids under 18. There is no benefit to Human-Imitating-Machines messing with our kids' minds. Data Centers should be REQUIRED to build their own energy supply when they come to a state or locality. These are common sense, bipartisan solutions everyone wants to see. But until we get someone in office who understands technology & has the desire to regulate it for safety, we will continue to see technology make our lives worse.
- End the Endless War Machine - Audit the Pentagon We have the money to build a better society, we are simply wasting it on war. We need candidates who are willing to challenge the Military Industrial Complex. I will not vote to fund the Pentagon until they pass an audit. There is no reason we should have homeless veterans when weapons manufacturers are making billions. I will champion the reappropriating of funds away from the Pentagon and towards American cities & towns. We can use this money to remove ALL lead pipes across the country, to get our infrastructure up to date, build new housing, anything that would improve society over endless war.
- Medicare for All
- Regulate AI & Data Centers
- Break Up Monopolies
- Audit the Pentagon
- BAN Private Equity from owning Single Family Homes
- Dissolve ICE
- BAN Mobile App Gambling
- Repeal the Patriot Act
- Term Limits & Age Limits
- Stock Trading Ban for Members of Congress & their Family
