I want to apply with my middle school Pathways (modern careers) class! Would you consider creating a kids' division so we we don't kick everybody's asses and hurt their feelings?
There are so many people out there who have a great ideas. I was reading about the "Shake Shack" founder, one small idea led the creator of the Union Square Hospitality Group LLC. People matter. Mr. Meyer identified characteristics; I would call emotional attributes, Integrity, optimism, empathy

Well, maybe if they started helping us instead of beating us down while we're already struggling. How about locking up the rich that break laws instead of jailing regular people for unpaid parking tickets, taxing the rich could help as well.
The single biggest thing we could do to restore trust is countering the Fox Propaganda network. Nothing will gain any traction with their toxic bullshit flooding our country.
I’d put it towards programs to encourage Americans to enrol to vote. If everyone got off their backsides you may end up with a society worth preserving.

That way, wealthy individuals—whether it's Elon, Soros, or even you—won’t have disproportionate sway over political outcomes. Investing in repealing Citizens United would be a powerful Tikkun Olam for your country and the world!

What you are saying is US citizens f-ed and we should bow down to Billionaires like Elon, Soros and Reid. Comment made in dire resignation of our fate, not directed at any person!
Its 11.30am where I am at, may be too early for shot or two of Bourbon!!

Invest in ProPublica and the like.

Plessy v Ferguson > Brown v. Board of Ed Top KS
And below, from HLR vol. 137 in Dec 2023, we see the Roberts Court justify overturning precedent and how they decide when to or not ⬇️
USAID, NED, NIJ, PITF, EAC, State Dept Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, DoJ prosecutors, USIP… the list goes on.
The world’s greatest resources for a project like this just came on line.
