Train racing. No I will not elaborate.

Create a large network of state and/or cooperatively owned cannabis farms to mass-produce hemp for industrial purposes, and every strain of quality marijuana known to man. You think the weed's too strong these days? That's ok, the state will devote its resources to developing 10% THC strains that taste like a gourmet meal. You want to be sent to the moon? Why yes, there will be 99.9% pure concentrate oils widely available.

Just as the USSR had an alcohol ration, there will be a mids ration available for all. Any unclaimed rations will be distributed to the gulags to forcibly pacify political prisoners. While high and marginally more open-minded, they will be made to play video games where every character is a black lesbian and all the messaging is based on post-colonial theory. Only after their daily shift constructing and tending the farms is finished, of course.

Any questions?

Community cafeterias. 1 caf per x (tbd) population.

• informed by national-level dietary guidelines
• very receptive to local neighborhood dietary preferences and encouraged to develop specialties
• worker controlled
• kitchen teams could swap/guest in other neighborhoods to mix things up
• you can go to cafs in other neighborhoods but there would probably be some system to anticipate demand to avoid over/under prepping (like you have a home caf but you can make reservation at another one?)

You can eat there or get take out.

Benefits:

• less food waste
• don't have to waste time shopping, chopping, cooking and cleaning when you don't want to
• will not have insane "chef" centered kitchen cultures, unless everyone working there votes in favour of this for some reason

High speed rail running the 'spine' of the americas - people should be able to go from Alaska to the far end of Chille and not need to transfer (although one imagines a number of stops along the way)

I would bring big efforts to resurrect the Irish language by having all sporting events, news broadcasts etc in Irish, having Irish be taught in school before English, having social events where people are expected to speak Irish etc. However this would merely be a Trojan horse for my real goal: slyly take out gendered pronouns from Irish and have everyone's pronouns be gender neutral by default, and only otherwise if specified.

It should be obvious that I'm Irish but we can apply this to any Anglophone country. England speaks Irish now, fuck you

My crank project would be a vast public domain and publicly owned version of the Library of Congress, for literature, movies, shows, games, and pretty much any and all media in danger of being lost to time, copyright bullshit, tax write-off skullduggery, or the like. A big part of that project would be attempts to retrieve and restore media that is already considered lost.

A truman show-esque reality TV program, where donald trump is planted as a regional manager of a small chain restaurant and monitored 24/7.

Ban lawns. Like, completely. No more lawns. Having one is a punishable offense. I want children to report their parents on this matter. Merciless enforcement. EVERYONE with ground space MUST have a garden.

I would go hard on pushing public nudity as fine. I don't want to be naked in public but human bodies are normal and nothing to he ashamed of.

Americans would fucking hate it but they'll get over it.

the orbital solar condenser + ground based collection disk from simcity 3000. like normal solar power but spicier

Arcologies. Entire cities built into single, massive complexes.

Bringing streetcars and trams back to as many roads as logistically possible
