gollark: It's obviously the product of a political opinion calendar.
gollark: But they also specified universal healthcare, basically just killing off people they don't like and capped profits on companies.
gollark: Oh, and their suggestion of "free 15Mbps internet connectivity" is underspecified and stupid. I would just have someone or other design a mandatorily-implemented-in-all-computers-with-communications-hardware self-organizing mesh network protocol.
gollark: Schools would be replaced with large warehouse-type spaces with computers, vaguely intelligent-looking adults and arbitrarily large quantities of children in them.
gollark: The profit margin cap on companies is obviously stupid. Instead, clones of me (technology TODO) would be authorized to randomly inspect and restructure companies to make them work better.
