Something that's missing, a gap that needs filling? I guess there's something for everyone, and pretty much everything's been done already. I ask because I'd like to write a political book, I don't know what I want to say - or at least - what I could say that'd justify 50,000+ words. I mean, I feel very cynical and nihilistic about politics. I mostly follow American politics since they're so influential and the Australian one is a s**t show.
I'm interested in seeing who's going to rise and take on Trump. I'm also interested in seeing how people react to the "big solutions" put forward by Sanders and Warren, but notably, the touted "forward, not left or right" guy Yang. I go out of my way to find the problems people have with things like their climate plans, the freedom dividend (universal basic income), raising the minimum wage, and so on. It seems that no matter who you are or what you put out, people will find flaws in your ideas.
I'd love for there to be a perfect candidate with all the right answers and solutions that everyone can get behind, but it just doesn't exist. For instance, people say Yang's climate plan is overreliant on technological progress occurring in time to meet his deadlines, and it's a valid point. We're talking about experts views on thorium and fusion. I want to be the guy that says, "Hey, this is what's wrong with the world, and this is how we can fix it." but who's to say I wouldn't be blown apart, too?
Are we ****ed, no matter what? Is it a matter of pick your poison - big government or big business but you can't have both? Stopping tax evasion sounds nice in theory but in practice, is that even possible? Is there a way to shut down the loopholes or is that fanciful thinking?
