Tourist cities should have hotel rooms by the hour that are actually clean when you just want to take a nap.

      Yeah but there’s no real international authority for that, and how am I supposed to get my national government to join a treaty organization for that purpose when neither it nor any lower level of my government offer anything similar?

        Hey, this thread is about what should be an actual thing, not what is realistic or even feasable to do.

        You mention that a nationwide fund for removal of lead in the environment should be a thing, I just countered that there should be an international fund dor the removal of lead since it is an international problem.

        Both funds should be a thing.

          I mean, I suppose, but at that point it really hits the level of abstract principle rather than plausible policy. Kind of up there with “no more war”, “ending hunger”, or “socialism replacing capitalism”.

          And while I do believe that a better world is possible, I really wanted to speak to things that are plausible in the existing political and economic climate in my lifetime.

            That’s a fair point I didn’t think about when I made my comment.

            Now that you mention it, switching to international scale in politics/activism sounds fantastic, but if often used as a way to divert responsibillity to a party with no authority.

            So yeah, a national program is better
