Create a large network of state and/or cooperatively owned cannabis farms to mass-produce hemp for industrial purposes, and every strain of quality marijuana known to man. You think the weed’s too strong these days? That’s ok, the state will devote its resources to developing 10% THC strains that taste like a gourmet meal. You want to be sent to the moon? Why yes, there will be 99.9% pure concentrate oils widely available.

Just as the USSR had an alcohol ration, there will be a mids ration available for all. Any unclaimed rations will be distributed to the gulags to forcibly pacify political prisoners. While high and marginally more open-minded, they will be made to play video games where every character is a black lesbian and all the messaging is based on post-colonial theory. Only after their daily shift constructing and tending the farms is finished, of course.

Any questions?

High speed rail running the ‘spine’ of the americas - people should be able to go from Alaska to the far end of Chille and not need to transfer (although one imagines a number of stops along the way)

Community cafeterias. 1 caf per x (tbd) population.

• informed by national-level dietary guidelines
• very receptive to local neighborhood dietary preferences and encouraged to develop specialties
• worker controlled
• kitchen teams could swap/guest in other neighborhoods to mix things up
• you can go to cafs in other neighborhoods but there would probably be some system to anticipate demand to avoid over/under prepping (like you have a home caf but you can make reservation at another one?)

You can eat there or get take out.

Benefits:

• less food waste
• don’t have to waste time shopping, chopping, cooking and cleaning when you don’t want to
• will not have insane “chef” centered kitchen cultures, unless everyone working there votes in favour of this for some reason

After I’ve done the full maglev rail network, the tallest structure on Earth. And then a slide coming off the top floor.

Legalize Nuclear bombs. Blow up the moon

A circular underground tunnel for bikes. Cyclists have little umbrellas that they open up when they enter the tube and everyone rides clockwise. There are mudflaps at the entrance and exits.

I’d pour massive amounts of money into arguably crank Bazinga ideas like Life Extension and proper Nanotech. I’d ban all cars and replace with public transport. Thorium power plants in every house! SPAAAAAAAACCCEEEE!

I’d make massive urban farming and gardening projects regardless of economic viability.

I also have Gaddafi-grade western fashion revival ideas. You will have to dress up for all evening events and no a Tuxedo is not gonna cut it. if you want a vision of the future it’s an 1700s dance slipper brushing a human face lightly, forever.

I am also for the French Revolutionary calendar. Happy Basil Day!

I would build a giant space station that’s basically entirely solar panels with some kind of magnetic dust shield that would be permanently in sunlight, then it would beam electricity down to earth or something.

I guess I would go huge in on wetlands revitalization in order to have more cute frogs to look at. I would also hire a team of experts to come up with justifications as to why our society required me having a real life Gundam.

The destruction of all white settlements in desert areas and summar execution of sundown towners

Plattenbau construction megaproject. Socialism, gray, big blocks and no suburb freedom? Yes, we’ll build more.

Virtual drug test dummies. I would commission huge banks of supercomputers to simulate the human body for rapid drug tests and general research, and dump money on quantum computing. Idk if this counts as a crank project but it would definitely be immense.

I would be like Hoxha but build earthships everywhere instead of bunkers.
