That is a good list Gandalf, and fwiw I agree with most if not all of what you’ve said in this thread.
To be honest with you, though, I don’t enjoy the “here’s what my policy would be” thing. No disrespect to anyone who does. I just find it too frustrating. I could put all this time into researching and contemplating and designing what I think is the best possible policy, and what would be the result?
Nothing… the actual policy that gets put in place will be the typical combination of a completely misguided analytical framework, special interest favoritism, and whipping people into a tribalistic left-vs-right frenzy so they give a pass to the outrageously bad policy that gets put in place.
Like i said, just too frustrating.
I am just offering this up as a reason why I am not diving down into your question and proposal, except to say that they were very thoughtful and imho largely on the right track.
