Tourist cities should have hotel rooms by the hour that are actually clean when you just want to take a nap.

    Instead of mandatory military service like some countries have, people should have mandatory public work for two years. Whether it be labor, clerical/administrative, etc, it could help young people learn a new skill, get guaranteed work to get the started, and could potentially save a ton in taxes. It would also create the opportunity to start getting caught up some things that keep getting swept under the rug like bridge maintenance , etc.

      Yeah. Similar to this I think junior high should have a bigger focus on being outside. Like one semester should be spend camping or something. It’s such a formative time and so many kids spend it scrolling through reels. There is something so real and unforgiving about Mother Nature that a 13 year old should really know about.

        The rest of people are already working these mandatory jobs.

        Same type of work, sure, but the fruits of their labour are going towards shareholders. The point of public work is that it’s for the public good.

      I’d include military service in that. But yes mandatory service for everyone.

      Edit. No exceptions if your mom / dad is a senator or anything… medical? Great there is tons of paperwork that needs to be done. Basically every one yeah.

      In my country mandatory military service, aka conscription, is used to take away men’s freedoms, you can’t travel, you can’t work, you can’t participate in politics, you can’t go to hotels… Etc… And it’s all necessary for thé but not for me, meaning the generals and the minister’s children don’t go to the military unstead they go to a business school and start companies all over the world, with people’s money… of course
