if I were president, I'd implement "single payer foodcare"
this is where the government steps in at the distributor layer and pays for
food
all of it
and the downstream can take as much as they need.
this rewards small farmers, who simply have to sign up for a truck to come by
and they can put their goods on the truck and get dollars or whatever. Easy.
this rewards large farmers, who can be guaranteed to always have a buyer, so
long as they respect the will of supply and demand, and adjust year-on-year.
this rewards distributors, who suddenly have been nationalized and can receive
government dollars while mostly doing the same thing they've been doing.
this rewards the people, who can eat for free.
this rewards the grocery stores, who can compete on things more human than
price
this rewards the restaurants, who can always stay busy.
overall I think it's a good idea and a reasonable implementation path. It would
help a lot of people, and change our world for the better.

AI is not language just the same as the mouth is not the person. you need more,

needed. You can simulate one on a computer, but it doesn't have the same SOUL
space. Think, a dimension overlayed on-top of this one, like electicity or
matter or gravity or whatever.
no soul, no consciousness, no perception.
plus, no home for said consciousness to live, unless you build a physical
structure that mimics the biological and neuro-chemical reations of the brain.
all you need is better ways to observe things happening in the brain (non-
-invasively, otherwise the data is tainted and UNUSUABLE because it is INCON-

Here's an idea: just pay people to be experts. That's it! Just pay them to
know a bunch of stuff. Then, when people ask them questions, they can answer
those questions, and suddenly everyone is elevated. Subject matter experts.
That way, the AI pitfalls can be avoided - need to do something specific?
Don't ask the AI, ask a randomized expert!

@user-129 if you throw your plate across the room instead of eating well then
it was probably an accident. if you keep doing it and are being a huge brat
about it then maybe you should go in time-out until you are ready to sit at
the table and eat like an adult. plates are expensive yo, and people are
starving (for housing) in Africa or whatever.
in related news, I heard that ~40% of homes in America are empty. I don't know
if that's still true, I read it in like, 2014. I wonder if it's higher or
lower now?

humans are just... crazy expensive, and they haven't really worked through the
expenses.
I mean... look at all the unmet needs! This is 2025 for a while, I bet you can
still overcome these processes.

I am starving.
"we'll feed you!" cry the restaurants.
No, you will make money with my hunger.
"there, your hunger is abated. Please come again!"
I am sure that I will.

just because it's hot doesn't mean it's cooked all the way.
hence, lower temperatures on microwaves. required by law, easy by competition.
free to replace.
(meaning... there must be the option to set a lower temperature as the recipe
requires.)
suddenly, so many more foods are microwavable.
