if democracy survives in US there are many fixes and upgrades we should do
one of them, in my judgment, is to switch merit-weighted voting. no more "1 person, 1 vote, equal weight to each". each person's vote should have a different weight (using a points system) reflecting the objective merits of both the voter in question, and, the candidate they vote for
would not be perfect, but much closer to it than what we have in place now, which is nuts, and has been abused, repeatedly

Too many billionaires are trying to make the world better for billionaires. Even if it makes it worse for the rest of us.
Long ago I kept a private list of billionaires (you know: as one does) and I made an effort to classify each as either a Good one, Bad one, Neutral, or unclassified. Most were in the unclassified state. There were far far more Bad ones than Good.
There was a brief period where I had Elon Musk in the Good group. Then he clearly moved to Bad/Evil.

The clarity and simplicity and potenially very very high S/N ratio of the BBS UI/UX is a refreshing joy as well as a retro escape now from 2026's online hellscape.
