Green bell peppers. I hate the way they taste. Had someone tell me they don’t taste like anything. Ok then why even bother if there’s no taste?

I would like to abolish subscription fees for most items that really shouldn’t have subscription fees. If you bought the item, it should be yours. That’s the point of buying the item.

The stock market.
But how will I know if I'm rich or poor without a nasdaq score telling me how the rich are feeling?
I would abolish toilets without bidets. You would be legally required to have a bidet in all bathrooms, private and public. Worldwide!

Video tutorials without captions/instead of text. I don’t want to watch someone fumble through over 30 minutes what I can skim in 5.
Billionaires.
Also, the propagation of the idea that you are poor because of the actions of even poorer people.

Professional sports teams. I'm just sick of hearing people blather on endlessly about them and expecting me to join in.

Everyone here being so serious.
Children in breweries. Fine, fine at least keeping the sanctity of 21 and over areas of breweries. When did breweries become a family affair? How come every place has to become a family friendly place, why can't we have just a few adults only places?
No matter what I get some child screaming while I'm trying to enjoy a beer. And every parent will say "well where are they supposed to go" and my answer is always "literally anywhere else". Everywhere is okay with kids. And then others will say "well mine are great" which I would say I don't care, but other parents don't care and ruin it for the rest. So if I got to abolish anything, it's be kids in breweries.
As someone who works in booze your kids do not belong in my workplaces.

The inconsistency of apostrophe usage in English for possessives and contractions. If it was instead written...
It-s a wonderful day out today, take your phone but turn off it's data so you can soak up the clear blue skies.
It'd be so much fucking easier and my OCD would be satiated.
Granted, but no hyphen.
Henceforth, possession shall be denoted with ` and contraction shall be denoted with '. Possessive plurals shall be denoted with ``.

Ban streaming services from advertising they have something on their platform and when you go to it, you realize you need to pay for an add-on subscription.
I am currently stealing Amazon streaming from my neighbor, who let me use it. It's full of ads now.
Can't even watch Invincible without 8 minutes of ads.
Easier to just pirate.
Piggybacking on this, ban archiving/vaulting. If you're the sole owner of an IP, you must provide that content everywhere you offer your services. Otherwise it becomes public domain.
