What are your politically unpopular views?

[Aurelius2]

1. Repeal the Hughes Amendment.
2. Abolish all property taxation at all levels.
3. The correct approach to climate change is to invest hundreds of billions of dollars in: (1) nuclear fusion research and development, (2) carbon capture and sequestration research and development, and (3) massive rapid buildout of nuclear fission capacity. The goal of this is to be able to keep living exactly as before while also being able to prevent further warming.
4. In doing so, we should seek not just to halt further warming, but also to sequester enough CO2 to drop temperatures back to pre-industrial levels. Yes, my personal preference for cold weather is a major motivator behind this.
5. Ban all AI research and development, globally monitor compute above a threshold level, and confiscate and destroy all H100s.
6. The billionaire jetsetters who fly around the world telling us peons that we should eat bugs and own nothing for the sake of the climate belong in the Hague.
7. Death penalty for fentanyl distribution.
7b. The Sacklers should be publicly executed in some particularly gruesome manner on the National Mall.
8. The US should seek to acquire Greenland, even if this means offering to pay every Greenlander $1,000,000 if YES wins in a referendum.
9. Ban outsourcing of call centers to non-English-native countries.
10. California should split the Sierra Nevada, up to around 5,000 or 6,000 feet elevation, into ten zones. Each summer the state should do a massive controlled burn of one of those zones, with tens of thousands of firefighters stationed to protect homes, property, and infrastructure within those zones. This is the only way we can escape 110 years of overaggressive fire suppression that has resulted in an insane level of undergrowth buildup.
11. Before weed is federally legalized, the government should fund a research program to get rid of the smell. The relevant genes should then be edited into all weed strains, and there should be extremely strict penalties for selling smelly weed.
12. Overturn Griggs v. Duke Power Co. and all subsequent law that depends on it. Abolish the existing EEOC and start from scratch which a new agency which, unlike the existing one, has a clearly defined mandate and is subject to the usual oversight that almost all other agencies are subject to.
13. Technology, viewed generally, is neither inherently good nor inherently bad. A particular technology's goodness or badness comes from its impact on the world and on the human experience. Each technology must be evaluated on its own merits. This will inevitably result in rejection of some (not all, or even most) technologies as harmful/dangerous/anti-human. These rejections will inevitably be derided by techno-optimists as being a "Luddite", whatever that is supposed to mean.
14. Ban California from banning things.

Tobacco smoking should be actively promoted for fat people

We need a large-scale reintroduction campaign for large carnivores across the United States. The suburbs need a new kind of jaguar.

For a few years now, my ideal solution to overcrowding in Yosemite National Park and throughout the Sierras more generally has been reintroduction of the California grizzly.
