I am thinking about running for President.
Five planks, in order of how often I am asked about them
Two are small enough to actually finish, which is why they are the two that end the presidency. One I have been told is physically impossible. Each one has its own page, because people keep asking follow-up questions and I have run out of caption space.
Abolish Daylight Saving Time
One time. All year. Forever.
Everybody agrees this is stupid. Everybody does it anyway, twice a year, forever. It is the last thing in America we all agree on — so it is where we start.

Same days off. Better days off.
Not more school — the same school, spread out. Keep all 180 days, keep every day off, and stop delivering eleven of those weeks in a single block in July that works for no working parent in America.
Read the positionHuman-Powered Compute
If the data center wants power, it can ask a person.
New data centers may draw their electricity from exactly one source: human beings, running, on wheels. Every watt. No exceptions.
Read the positionThe Lunar Readout
A sign on the Moon that tells you whether the Moon is full.
The United States will place a display on the surface of the Moon, legible from Earth with the naked eye, that reads FULL when the Moon is full and NOT FULL when it is not.
Read the positionA Full Public Accounting
Every name in the files. On the record. Under oath.
Release the Epstein files, and convene a standing public commission that works through them name by name — so that every person who appears in them accounts publicly for how and why they appear.
Read the positionWhen two of the five are done, I go home.
Not a transition. Not a stepping-back. A resignation, submitted within thirty days of the second of these two being finished:
- 1 Abolish Daylight Saving Time
One time. All year. Forever.
- 5 A Full Public Accounting
Every name in the files. On the record. Under oath.
Do not give me money.
There is nothing to fund and no legal way for me to take it. If the website moved you to spend money anyway, there is a much better place for it.
Give to St. Jude instead
