I got let go from a job once. They lost all of their contracts within a year. From personal experience, sometimes everything does depend on you. Whether your managers understand that or not is a different story.

Co-lying is mentioned, but it isn't the subject of the paper linked.

Uh... 5.
I'm going to go with 5.

...For the milkshake, right?

"Make Congress Work Again"

This is going to require good branding and simplified explanations.

What we have going for us is that basically everyone agrees that Congress isn't functional.

You need a small list of very focused demands. Occupy Wall Street and BLM failed because they started tacking on too many things.

Here are demands that will fix the core issues at the federal level:

  1. An expansion of the number of seats in the house and senate. At the federal level, each congress person represents far too many constituents. This is not unprecedented; the house has been expanded before.
  2. We must switch from first-past-the-post to proportional representation.
  3. The Senate's role in passing legislation must be reduced to a time-based veto only. Meaning: a bill passed by the House must be vetoed by the Senate within 90 days or it goes to the president's desk.
  4. An overturning of the Citizens United decision and publicly funded elections.
  5. Removal of the presidental pardon.

These five items must be implemented if our democracy is to survive. Everything else can be handled after.
