Using this doc to keep track of ideas I want to campaign on when I eventually run for Seattle City Council. It’s very WIP currently.
Human Rights
Some things that should be rights: stable shelter, sufficient food to be healthy, access to information/education (internet, schools, etc.). I also think there should be a hierarchy of rights, i.e. some are more important than others. E.g. someone’s right to life supersedes your right to autonomy, so you can’t hurt people just because you want to.
Random notes
- banks should be forced to provide good apis with ouath to protect their customers
- Tax withholding should be transparent. Either don’t withhold at all and present a bill at the end of the year, or withhold exactly what’s needed and don’t bother us with tax preparation.
