I mean like if you translated Project 25 so the opposite or reverse of every single policy prescription it makes is compiled, could that be the playbook for a much better and equitable future society?

Sorta like a Project 21st Century™️

EDIT: I’m not necessarily saying if they say “=18% corporate taxes” == “-18%” or “+36%”, I just mean they want to lower the taxes to reach that so why not consider raising it in the opposite direction so you’re moving away from anti-utopia

    This is what I believe will make a great society.

    Strong social democracy.

    You have a country with relatively high taxes, a government providing strong safety nets and a free market boosting the economy.

    Fines are all dayfines with no upper limit.

    Education is free, to a point, you get grades 1-12 for free and you get to have two trade school/college programs for free with automatic grants for spending money, and low interest loans for those who want more. If you fail to complete the educations then after the second one, the grants and low interest loans are forefit.

    Healthcare costs say 20EUR for a normal appointment, after ten appointments in a year any further appointments are free.

    Emergency care is free.

    Medicine costs are low, but if you have to pay more than 300eur for prescription drugs in a year, further prescription drugs are free.

    There is an upper limit to personal wealth, you can make 500 million EUR, way more than anyone will ever need, any further money earned will be put in a fund for social and environmental development. The money you earn will however still be logged as having beened earned by you, so you get put on a highscore list and can show others your acchivement. You’ll still be rich, you just won’t be flying private jet all over rich, or owning 17 super yatchs rich.

    Prisons will focus on rehabillitation and realively short punnishments, at first, at the third sentence where a criminal reoffends, they will be given a storage sentence, much longer prison time where the government protects society against criminals who are not interested in living a normal life.
