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

Train racing. No I will not elaborate.

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 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.

My crank project is a massive geoengineering project to restore Lake Megachad and then expand it beyond its previous greatest extent to create Lake Gigachad

I'd start math education with formal logic, elementary number theory, and mathematical language in the first grade. That way everyone has a chance to actually understand the math they're expected to manipulate in high school.

If you built a 5km tall lightning rod, it'd sap all the electrical potential from the clouds before lightning can form. There's gotta be a lot of electric potential there, given that it's enough to make lightning. Catumbo experiences 1.6 million bolts of lightning per year, and the average lightning bolt is 5 gigajoules of power, so harnessing it all would produce about 2.5 gigawatts of power, which is about the same as 2.5 ordinary nuclear power plants. This is clearly not worth it, let's do it.
