We should have a rewards program during tax season for small footprints, but not punishments for large ones.

Like EV tax credits, but incents for people that DON'T buy things.

Of course that would be contrary to the entire system we have (consume things/waste them/dispose of) which is literally killing the planet.
You're halfway to the guidestones then.

I would like to pay less for my size medium clothing vs the dude/woman wearing XXL.
The labor costs more than the materials.

But the footprint of the individual puts a gaping hole in the ground I fall into.

Almost everyone has a hole in their bathroom they can fall into.

Progress is an unstoppable force.

We must enforce a BMI standard on all americans. Higher taxes for those over the threshold.

10 years for coast guard. GI bill reduced to two years of community college or vocational training for all who serve. Everyone must maintain physical fitness until age 38 for combat readiness or their time resets (even once discharged). 6 years active duty = payment for 4 years public education. Career in military with pension increased from 20 to 25 years of cumulative service

The point of this is to give people direction that they aren’t getting either at home or in schools. I was blessed with a two parent household and it’s quite apparent that fatherless homes are creating too many incelizondos among us. We can do better

This plan is very roughly based on South Korea’s conscription, IE a modern democracy with a capable military. Deus vult, obesity delenda est, etc
:thumbs up:

and if you can't pass the range course for whatever reason and get at least a 18/32 you go to the farms.
