And be concise with examples. He has all the facts on his side.
1) want workers on the board... like Germany's co-determination law. Not fairy-tales nor some hideous communist thing, but democracy in the workplace. Like they have in Germany.
2) Universal healthcare... like the rest of the civilized world.
3) Universal higher and vocational educational like most of wealthy nations: UK, Germany, Austria, etc.
4) Be competitive by canceling all student loan debt
5) Energy and Infrastructure program that's like combining the mega projects of the Panama and Suez Canal, Hoover Dam, Manhattan Project, Apollo Missions, etc. This time toward energy for solar and wind as well as our own LFTR fission as China started 2014 10 year program that's 90% more efficient and much more safer than uranium, and ultimately a fusion tokamak program like ITER and Germany's Wendelstein 7x.
Inter-continental high speed rail like Japan and China have built that makes long distance travel orders of magnitude cheaper than by plane or car.
Rebuilding of our dams, locks, bridges, and modernize electrical grid systems.
These massive projects would assist already displaced coal and other fossil fuel workers as well as any future ones.
6) Strengthen social security so it follows a cost of living index that reflects the costs of seniors: housing and of course medical solved by universal healthcare that is free at point of use.
7) A major housing project that brings up our dismal 9 units per 1,000 new constructions to at least 30 units per 1,000 new constructions as it was in the 1960-70's throughout the country, targeting affordability housing; put taxes to use in development (roads, electric, water, sewer, etc.) instead of having developers pay it themselves thus pass it onto the buyer. And subsidize as many houses and multidweling units throughout the country along with places max returns and put an end to boom bust real-estate pricing.
Buildings are like cars, they depreciate over time, they do not magically gain in value; all appliances from hot water heater, AC, roofing, fixtures, etc. must be eventually replaced. Values going up beyond the replacement is an absurd desperate move by oligarchs and plutocrats to seek a return on this ongoing low interest rate environment, and this is pushing rents and property prices to unstable unaffordablity.
A major housing works across the entire nation is required to affordably and with luxury of modern technology dignified very comfortable affordable housing provisions for EVERYONE. End a form of feudalism under the obscene "gentrification" nonsense.
