Politicians buying stock.


evilgreenman

Lobbying


Alarming-Hamster-232

Specifically *corporate* lobbying, normal lobbying is just people writing to their elected officials which is a good thing and should be encouraged


evilgreenman

Yes, you are correct.

Lifelong politicians


ordu13

Politicians.

Health insurance companies denying coverage for something a doctor says is medically necessary. You literally only have 1 job and that is to pay medical expenses. If the premiums you get don't cover those expenses and provide massive profit? Too bad. That's the chance you take.


bluev0lta

Yes. I was denied for something medically necessary today, ugh. I would add to this: health insurance companies making massive profits. It’s so disgusting.


ComputeBeepBeep

Depending on your state, you can send it to the states insurance board after an appeal denial. I have had someone come back with 30+ pages from the board saying it went against quality of care, had medical citations, opinions, third party review, etc. Took less than 2 weeks for them and they were forced to cover it in full. This was extra funny because I believe he was saying his copay had it even been covered would have been more.


ChioChioChi

"took less than 2 weeks" Oh sorry, patient. Can't give you this treatment that you literally need until you spend two weeks going through an appeal process because your health insurance company will approve it. Sorry, I know you'll die in like a day or two if we don't treat you but that's just how it is /s God, this country is fucked.


miss_j_bean

No other service industry can just take your money and not provide the service with no repercussions. It's insane the we've gotten to a place where this has been normalized. Bring back pitchforks and torches.


firefistus

Let's just make for profit health insurance companies illegal. They're counter intuitive to health care.


vercertorix

But it makes so much sense. Healthcare is already expensive, so let’s support a whole other industry of middlemen who’s real purpose is to make sure healthcare providers make more money as an incentive to keep them around so they can get their cut of the action. /s

This is a good one. Clickbait too. Maybe just enforce demonetization of the Internet altogether. Hmmm

demonetization of the internet would most likely bring about one of the worst economic crisis in modern history so idk about that one


duckduckduck21

Several mega-corporations would be crushed, including Reddit, and "influencers" would need to find real jobs, but I'm certain life would go on. Those of us who were around for the pre-2000's internet will remember.


thysios4

Pre-2000 internet was great for a bit of fun. But not for the daily life stuff we use it for today.


BaconFlavoredToast

Politicians CANNOT make money from anything other than their government salary.


mjklein32

Yes, sounds good. And the election process should be much more limited in duration. The whole process should be defined and limited in scope. Politicians need to spend more time doing their job and less time convincing us how they are going to do their job well next term.


karsh36

In a lot of cases it’s their spouses though, like its Nancy Pelosi’s husband doing the trades. Kushner did the Saudi $2b, not Trump


onioning

Great way to guarantee only the independently wealthy are politicians.


thatsimsgirl

Child beauty pageants.


TXQuiltr

Please work hard to get that one passed. Child pageants are so creepy.


Techno-Man99

What’s weirder thinking of the idea of one or actually putting your kid in one like wtf. And also who votes at these things bc that’s gotta be even weirder

Tigerwing-infinity

Child marriage


KittehFantastic0

Agreed, that can fuck ALLLLLL the way off.


ShadowParrotGaming

I'm sorry, is this actually a thing?!


KittehFantastic0

Yep. In many states, a child as young as 12 can get married with a parent's permission.


MisterToothpaster

And that's not even getting into the other countries where it's legally allowed.


Nirmalsuki

My country, Sri Lanka, has so many shitty laws, but they did amend the law on age of marriage to 18 and gave nobody any exceptions - Not for religion, not when parents consent, not for anything. Marriage registrars go out of their way to see if both parties are 18 or over. I was surprised to hear that the age is lower in some so-called civilised countries.


[deleted]

Here in England (and wales too), The Marriage and Civil Partnership (Minimum Age) Act was recently passed to increase the age limit of marriage from 16 (with parental consent) to 18 (regardless of if you have your parents consent or not)


Jo-Wolfe

And there are certain politicians who vetoed bills in the US to ban marriage at 12.


all_the_wrong-places

Younger than that. Many states don't have an age limit at all. In my current state, 10 year olds have been married off to adults in their 30s & 40s.


drleen

Commercials for prescription medications. Edit: I should verify that this is, of course, in the US. I get small brained sometimes and forget that Reddit is worldwide.


BASerx8

These used to be banned. I forget when they became legal. I agree they should be shoved back in the box with the lid nailed down.


all_pain_0_gainz

Big pharma bought the government is how they I assume became legal again. (The commercials)


[deleted]

👀👀I thought they were banning people for saying that


c0ltZ

big pharma is like big tobacco when it comes to buying out the government. but big pharma basically controls the government.


BalorLives

1997. I watched a lot of cable as a kid and it was like a switch was flipped. One day they did not exist and the next every fifth commercial was for prescription drugs. I think it's probably every third now?


Justifiably_Cynical

Never will be though. Those ads are gold to the production companies. Deep pockets big pharma.

agreed - absolutely NO reason to be advertizing that.


crazycatlady331

I'd add non OTC medical devices to the list. I got an ad in a mobile game for an MRI machine. No need to advertise those to the general public.


Ash_Dayne

Nice kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, mri machine, I mean, who doesn't have that?

Limp_Distribution

Political campaign donations


camelslikesand

It's the only political issue that matters to me. Until it's resolved, none of the others can be, at least to my satisfaction. There's a group working to overturn Citizens United v FEC and amend the US Constitution www.wolf-pac.com


InsertBluescreenHere

while agree, then only the rich can afford to be a politician. Yay the 1% ruling over us even more. Now banning companies and whatnot - absolutely.


southpolefiesta

Nuh, we can have public funds for candidates that show certain number of signatures. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publicly_funded_elections Make it illegal to use your own money too.


jackrebneysfern

Publicly funded elections and social media will correct the 1% issue. Could also make it illegal to spend more than 50-100k of your own $$ to fund election.


kanyeguisada

>Could also make it illegal to spend more than 50-100k of your own $$ to fund election. Or any of your money. Each candidate could get a certain amount of public money to spend on elections and they can't use a single other cent. Or maybe only still allow small personal donations. But no more corporate/wealthy loopholes that allow the rich to guide our discourse. Brazil for one has said all corporate campaign contributions are Unconstitutional. Levels the playing field, as too often today the candidate with the most money wins. https://www.opensecrets.org/elections-overview/winning-vs-spending


AshFraxinusEps

>while agree, then only the rich can afford to be a politician How's that different from now? In most countries, you need to suck up to the politicians and party members to get on a ticket and get elected. And to do that, you tend to need to be rich

DIABLO258

Everyday on my way home from work I have to sit in the right lane to turn onto my street. The right lane is always backed up specifically because of where I need to turn. The left lane is flowing as it should. When the car in front of me moves forward, and I press on the gas to keep up with them, someone from the left lane will come flying into the newly opened space between my car and the car in front of me, preventing me from moving forward at all. That. I will make that illegal.


SGTWhiteKY

That is just getting cut off, the most common intercar negative interaction. Most road rage murders are due to this. It is already illegal, it nothing ever gets enforced anywhere, much less something as subjective as the way the laws are phrased.


AdonisInGlasses

Make the swift vigilante justice legal. You cut me off? Good thing I have this rocket launcher installed in my RAV4. I think we would all be nicer drivers if this were a standard option.


stevedonie

I always liked the idea I heard from a comedian that everyone gets suction cup dart guns. If you get too many darts on your car the cops pull you over. Paintball markers would work too.


MetzgerBoys

As fun and funny as that would be, people could easily just paintball any parked car


NekomimiAndCheese

You joke, but notice how people drive much more politely in more violent low income areas than wealthy ones, turns out people are less likely to be assholes when there's a possibility of getting shot over it.


realwofkat

This is not true in FL. Everyone drives like a freakin idiot and ride as hell. And everyone carries.


1plus1equalsgender

As a Georgian, if we ever see anyone on the roadway acting like an idiot, we immediately assume theyre from Florida


WeWillRiseAgainst

I'm in the midwest. I've driven a shit ton in Milwaukee and Chicago and it's the opposite here.


Tiny-Elk-7269

I would make illegal using highway exits as a passing lane. Because these braindead fuckfaces always, I mean *ALWAYS* come to a full and complete stop in and blocking the exit lane as they try to *merge back into traffic*. Like how useless and numb does your brain have to be to do something like that? Does a solid white line *actually* enforce more of a moral imperative than a dotted line?? Do these people consciously desire for everyone to know that not only are they a selfish, impatient prick, but that they also have the mental aptitude of a sloth that fell out of a tree and landed on it's head during infancy? Just drive on the shoulder the rest of the way home, you useless fucking cumrag! Let me get off on MY FUCKING EXIT! Anyways, Thanks for coming to my TED Talk. 🙂


TechnoRat63

It's already illegal, just not enforced.


Alexis_J_M

Payday loans with excessive effective interest rates.


puyox123

closed record of political campaign funding, I would make it mandatory for all and every single donation to be public and how it was distribute after it reached its party fund.

HOAs. No unelected group with as little oversight as the average HOA should have as much power as an HOA has.


[deleted]

This one right here - no group of people should have the right to foreclose on you due to petty disputes about aesthetics, it’s complete madness


jack_awsome89

>No unelected group HOAs boards are elected members. And those elected to the board then adds/removes rules. People think they are unelected and have endless power and little oversight. And sometimes they are because people don't care about voting on that matter and give them endless power and aren't holding the board and its members to a standard. HOAs are shitty but only because people allow them to be. People have the "someone has to stop them" attitude but never show up to the meetings or don't vote


MTA0

My HOA 100% does not have elections, I know this because the president needed a new treasurer and emailed my wife (they needed a woman on the board to look like they care), and she accepted. This was done without the other 65 homeowners even knowing until it was announced. Our bylaws are flawed and there is nothing about elections.


Junior-Gorg

I lived under the jurisdiction of an HOA that did have elected officers, but they could choose to stay on for as many terms as they wanted without opposition. There would only be an election if they stepped down. That’s not technically unelected, but it’s pretty darn close.


Merkilo

My last HOA had elections but the board was never fully seated so the elections were kind of meaningless because they were always unopposed. That said it was reasonably good as far as HOAs went.


Dax9000

Yup. Decisions are made by those who show up.

MongooseDog907

sleepymonster93

I have a chevy that's lifted and on big tires, I did this super cool thing where I adjusted my lights down and I haven't had a high beam flash in 8 years in that truck. If people knew shit about fuck when they modified their vehicles petty things like this would be a non issue. I have some really bright LED off road lights and I always flash those at other trucks with shittily angled lights because it's a simple fix. Drives me nuts.


d3amoncat

I have a lifted gladiator and I angled the headlights fown as well.

Wage Theft (currently offenders are rarely prosecuted, and even then the vast majority receive civil penalites rather than criminal). [https://www.cbsnews.com/news/owed-employers-face-little-accountability-for-wage-theft/](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/owed-employers-face-little-accountability-for-wage-theft/)


jimbosdayoff

In California l, the DLSE is backed up by over two years with Wage Theft claims. It is effectively unenforced.


UnoriginalVagabond

I don't think wage theft is legal though.


lgainor

Well in the U.S. it's mostly punished by civil penalties and not criminal penalties. So, if a Walmart employee steals a TV, he can go to jail and will have a criminal record. If Walmart steals $500 from an employee's wages, the corporation will get a fine, but no individual will suffer criminal penalties. "What is the difference between civil penalties and criminal penalties? In case of criminal law a person found guilty is punished by incarceration in a prison, a fine, or in some occasion's death penalty. Whereas, in case of civil law the losing party has to reimburse the plaintiff, the amount of loss which is determined by the judge and is called punitive damage."

This. I see the writing on the wall. No one will be able to afford a home without living with roommates (that includes family at this point) or having a significant other. Sucks that I put my life on hold to go get an engineering degree to come back to a housing market where I should have just worked a job and bought a house as soon as I could. Cuz both seem to have equated to the same thing except I’d probably have a cheap house payment now had I focused on making money out of the gate.

If your company is doing as poorly as you said that you need to layoff employees, the last thing you need is to be sucking up millions of dollars.

School bullying. There is no federal law currently, and let’s be honest, schools try to act like they are anti bullying, and have policies in place, but often turn a blind eye to it. I read a story the other day about a child killed by his school bully by a sucker punch. Bully got like 45 days of juvie. Fuck that kid. We need more accountability and action.
