States with tipped workers getting the same minimum wage as everybody else still have plenty of restaurants. Restaurants can't compete based on how small their hourly wage is. Customers no longer need to pay huge tips because workers get a higher hourly wage regardless of tips. Customers can still leave tips, but don't feel extorted. Republican leaders oppose higher minimum wages (of all kinds, but especially for tipped workers) because as pointed out elsewhere on this page, a main goal of the GOP is to concentrate wealth. Besides opposing progressive cannabis laws.

"In fact, 28.5 million Americans now work over 60 hours a week and more than half of full-time employees work more than 40 hours a week."

Cannabis would have been rescheduled long ago if not for the Republican filibuster. The War on Cannabis accelerated in the US, and that's where it will end. US Congress could legalize, reschedule, or remove cannabis from the federal schedule if the Republican filibuster were gone. Vote in US Senators who will abolish it. [41][42][43][44]. Senators Manchin or Sinema could abolish it now.

End the electoral college.

Presidents should not be elected who do not receive the highest number of votes.

Abolish the electoral college. Imagine the US without the 12 years of the Bush and Trump presidencies and their backward cannabis policies.

End Presidential war powers.

Nixon, Reagan, and Bush are responsible for the US War on Drugs, and the lie that massive incarceration is a solution. See more lies in
Reagan's frequent demonization of cannabis.

Presidents have too much power. Wars later determined to be started based on lies of Presidents, or done in secret:
Vietnam War: President Johnson and the lie of the Gulf of Tonkin incident.
Cambodia: Nixon and Kissinger's secret B-52 carpet bombing campaign that helped create the unrest that led to Pol Pot's genocidal regime. And Kent State shootings in US.
Iraq War: President Bush and the lie of the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

Gaza: Canada vs US.

If we had a genuine democracy, then the government would be forced to follow the wishes of the majority of Americans. A national referendum on Israel, for example, would stop its mass murder.

UN Probe Finds Israel Guilty of 'Extermination,' Torture, and Other War Crimes in Gaza. [45][46].

Biden on Trump: “No one is above the Law;” Except for Israel’s Netanyahu. Wikipedia: Genocide Convention: defines genocide as "any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such: ...". It also defines: "Complicity in genocide." See: Nearly All 600,000 Kids in Rafah 'Injured, Sick, Malnourished,' Says UNICEF. And: UN Food Chief Says Northern Gaza Suffering 'Full-Blown Famine'.

Compare genocidally complicit American politicians' actions to Canada's politicians stopping military aid to genocidal Israel. See Gallup Poll chart higher up showing US change from majority approval (Nov. 2023) to majority disapproval (March 2024) of Israeli military action in Gaza. Source: Majority in U.S. Now Disapprove of Israeli Action in Gaza. March 27, 2024 by Jeffrey M Jones. Gallup Poll. Watch Bernie Sanders video: "Mr. Netanyahu, do not insult the intelligence of the American people."

But Congress seems to be controlled by these people: Popular Christian Zionist leader John Hagee is no friend to Israel. "The head of the largest Christian Zionist organization is no friend to Israel — he wants an apocalypse there. ... For 20 years, he has built CUFI into the largest (at 8 million members), most-funded and most powerful 'pro-Israel' organization in America — dwarfing AIPAC, J Street, and others." Some of the same religious right with a history of support for the cannabis and drug wars.

Republican senator Lindsey Graham Equates Dropping Nukes on Japan With What Israel Should Do in Gaza: ‘Do Whatever You Have to Do to Survive’. "Reagan ordered a stoppage in 1982 after Israel attacked Palestinian fighters in Lebanon, a move he deployed more than once throughout the war. Ten years later, President George H.W. Bush delayed a $10 billion loan to Israel after the country pressed forward with plans to build settlements in the West Bank."

Mandatory retirement.

Institute a mandatory retirement age for US Congress members, the President, and Supreme Court judges. Put those judges on fixed terms. [47]. Mandatory retirement exists for many US judges. Both Donald Trump and Joe Biden are too old to be President. And Trump is just too dumb: Video: Robert De Niro on Trump Being “So F**king Stupid”. See Robert Reich: Seriously, again, how dumb is Trump? And: Trump’s Brain Is Not Okay. An expert’s view of Trump’s mental slide into dementia.

Global warming

• Immigration

World Population Clock: 8 Billion People (LIVE). We need more trees and less people. More oxygen, less carbon dioxide. To slow down global warming. "Assuming no net migration and unchanged mortality, a total fertility rate of 2.1 children per woman ensures a broadly stable population." - Fertility rates. OECD Data. See country graphs. Also, inflation comes from an increasing population sharing one planet's resources.

Many US Republican leaders oppose birth control and abortion rights (even early abortion). Another reason besides their backward cannabis laws to vote them out. Birth control and abortion (especially early abortion) is legal (even free) in many countries. That needs to expand further.

We need the lowest curve below, by lowering the birth rate.

Immigration.
Return to top. ~~ Return to section.

The US and Europe can't import all the overpopulation of the world. Europe, especially, is already too densely populated. US Democrats and progressives in Europe need to limit immigration, or they will lose power, and cannabis policies will stagnate under right wing rule. Taxes on the rich will be cut yet more, which by definition means middle class taxes will go up, or stay up, to pay for it. Wikipedia: List of countries and dependencies by population density.
