    That would be a pretty good distraction, although I think I would need labor protections on top of that to be really distracted

      I think I’d be pretty distracted if they also declared the anti-trans rhetoric was all a mistake and actually we love and support LGBTQ+ of all stripes and here’s a big pile of money as an apology for earlier. Also we removed the sex and/or gender markings from all American passports.

      That would help distract me.

        Not having a gender on passports could seriously impact your ability to travel when every other country requires you to fill in your gender (male, female) when booking planes, trains, busses or sometimes even hotels.

          There’s already an X marker in use–just use that as “undefined”, for everyone. Problem solved.

      That would be distracting, but if you really want to distract people, you would need to start redistributing wealth, starting with giving people homes reclaimed from the hedge funds that have been buying up residential properties.

      That would distract the shit out of me. If I had more money, cheaper groceries, and anime titties back on Steam I could even distract myself even harder.
