My megaproject ideas are mostly pretty standard. I'd build a high speed rail network across North America, and build and expand metro and regional rail systems in and around every city. I'd turn all cities and suburbs into fifteen-minute cities. I'd decommodify housing, and build ten million units of public/social/non-market housing, mostly three bedroom units. I'd link those last three policies together by building TODs around the new Metro and rail stops. And I'd build bicycle networks in every town and city and connect them to the TODs. I'd build bridges and walkways across skyscrapers. I'd put a bidet in every American toilet (uses less water than toilet paper apart from being more comfortable). Fiber internet in every home. A heat pump in every home. An induction stove in every kitchen. Phase out fossil fuels and power everything with Pumped Storage Hydropower and Geothermal. I'd make the US go Metric.
But my truly crazy, obsessive idea would be to bring back the French Revolutionary calendar. Or I'd purge all French influences from English.
Weird, I used to take lithium on prescription and I'm like 80% water.
humans aren't 80% water in the same way a nearly full glass of water is.
Okay but that lithium pill isn't going to set a nearly full glass of tapwater on fire either
it's probably not pure lithium. And also it only burns in proportion to the amount of lithium you put in but lithium and water causes a fire
plus anti-depressants have side effects and medication can interact with other medicine people take so probably just make anti-depressants freely available but you need to get them from a pharmacist is the best way
Lithium in pharmacology specifically refers to lithium salts, usually lithium carbonate or lithium citrate. It's not elemental lithium but it is still just called lithium, regardless of which salt is prescribed. Clarification is usually done by specifying a brand example for generics.
