Tourist cities should have hotel rooms by the hour that are actually clean when you just want to take a nap.
“nap” lol
Also nationwide lead removal fund.
*International
Yeah but there’s no real international authority for that, and how am I supposed to get my national government to join a treaty organization for that purpose when neither it nor any lower level of my government offer anything similar?
Hey, this thread is about what should be an actual thing, not what is realistic or even feasable to do.
You mention that a nationwide fund for removal of lead in the environment should be a thing, I just countered that there should be an international fund dor the removal of lead since it is an international problem.
Both funds should be a thing.
I mean, I suppose, but at that point it really hits the level of abstract principle rather than plausible policy. Kind of up there with “no more war”, “ending hunger”, or “socialism replacing capitalism”.
And while I do believe that a better world is possible, I really wanted to speak to things that are plausible in the existing political and economic climate in my lifetime.
That’s a fair point I didn’t think about when I made my comment.
Now that you mention it, switching to international scale in politics/activism sounds fantastic, but if often used as a way to divert responsibillity to a party with no authority.
So yeah, a national program is better

Every airline seat should be fixed at the reclined position
Nope, the recline function make almost zero comfort change for the occupant, but for the person behind it has huge impact.
But if you’re also reclined doesn’t that offset it?
Sure, but why not recline all seats permanetly?
Because then they wouldn’t be able to tell you to return your seat to the upright position for landing.
Comfort for both the reclinee and the person behind don’t have to be mutually exclusive.
You sound like middle management, you come up with a simple sounding idea with zero idea on how to do it, only this simple idea is impossible without huge, HUGE changes to airplane design and vast increases in ticket cost.
What the fuck are you on? This is not an Airbus engineering war room.
The title of the post is “What’s an idea you have that should be an actual thing?” not “What’s an idea you have that should be an actual thing and it must realistically be made possible”?
Lighten up.
Wow, here I am making a joke, and are just calling for me to lighten up?
Calm down.
Oh. Hehe.
Sorry.
It’s hard to read people’s intentions with just text sometimes.
Why not make sure that both are comfortable? The issue is not the reclining seat. The issue is the space in between the seats. So, the issue is the airlines, not the passengers.
Sure, but increasing the seat size will increase ticket cost.
I disagree and most people who fly constantly are with me.
I fly for work upwards of 4 times a month for 4 hour flights, the best flights are where no one reclines theor chair.
If you’re tall your already touching the seat in front.
Then they recline you have that on top of your knees, and a chair in your face.
The recline is needed for overnight flights. On short haul, it’s unnecessary indeed. I think some airline have ordered seats without recline already.
Headphones with an internal MicroSD slot or at least lots of internal storage to locally play back music.
When you get to baggage claim, if you then stand directly at the carousel blocking everyone’s view for more than 10 seconds, trap door opens and a system of pneumatic tubes forcibly jettisons you to the furthest point away in the airport for you to walk back.
Stand back, wait for your luggage to appear, then approach and get your bag and step back to the perimeter.
To get my VC funding in 2024, id also pitch that it “has AI” which is just facial recognition and if you get jettisoned twice in the same year, the third time goes into a shark pit or scorpion pit.
Since airspace is reserved for airport traffic, the furthest point is more than likely about 50k feet straight up.
I’m ok with that.

Prostitution legalized everywhere, with a clean and safe presentation. And nobody should judge people for it in neither side.
Settling civil disputes with dueling.
Men’s toilet seat lids should stay up when hit in use.
German take: Parking on the side of the road and on sidewalks should just be banned.
Its legality is based on a single court case from the 1950’s where a judge decided that it should be a legal use of public space, because it’s necessary and useful for motorizing the country. The justfication is obsolete. It’s not enshrined in any laws. The traffic law specifically forbids it, with exceptions.
Yet it’s practiced everywhere and even where parked cars block sidewalks, police simply don’t enforce the law.“But where should I park?”
You should have thought of that before buying a car.“But what about rural areas where you need a car to live?”
No problem here, just park it on your turnip field.So drive rural into your turnip field and get the bus into town from your turnip field?
It’s honestly so weird that you can just take up public space with your dumb-ass car, that is not even in use 99% of the time.
Hotels not using carpet in their rooms.
This is a noise reduction thing. It’s the same reason apartments only do hardwood on the ground floor. Your downstairs neighbors don’t want to listen to you moving around, and carpet is a great insulator and cushion.
Maybe. Though, there are a lot of solutions to dampen noise while using hard flooring.
(I also know plenty of apartments/condos in my area that use both or just hard flooring in my area)
A cool idea I’ve had for a long time (or rather a dream) was a truly private and good suit auf office programs like Microsoft 356 but with privacy and the customor in mind. No anti-consumer things generally.
