    I say bring back the WPA. Keep the fs out of firefighting and employ thousands to do trail work.

    I wrote Barry about it at the height of unemployment. Nothing was done, but he did write back.

    And kidstarter, a crowd funding site made for kids to learn business, technology, and a way to bring their imaginations to fruition.

    I've got more.

    Pho Q. Yep say it out loud. You know the way pho is pronounced... Fu

    I think of something almost every day. Nothing gets done, ever.

    Recent example: I notice a large amount of the truck traffic through my U.P. town is Canadians cutting through...many french; and I notice the lack of parking. I think: hey, what about a Canadian truck stop (Petro Canada or something) with bilingual signage and bilingual staff and poutine and NHL network in the lounge. It would be a frog trap, all the drivers would know.

    It's really not about having the idea, it's about having money to make it happen.

    I thought the same thing- we have electric UPS trucks here. But he said USPS. I have yet to see an electric mail truck...

    Not really my original idea, but a great idea nonetheless: $5,000 cash to anyone under a certain income threshold to get a vasectomy or tubal ligation. It's already free under the ACA, but we need to incentivize that shit.

    One percent for the planet was my idea as a ten year old. Amex blew me off among others...assholes.

    I have a patent on a better urinal that has a V back drop instead of the bowl shape so you can pee down either side and it catches pee instead of splashing it back on you. That's what I got from my history degree at University of Arizona and it just came from pissing and wearing sandals. It's amazing how much splash there is.

    I've thought birth licenses worth consideration but incentivized birth control may be even more effective.

    I live along one of the New England Interstate arteries into eastern Quebec. There is a shit tonne of Canadian trucks that go through my town and there are not one but two exits that have NO places for thee trucks to easily pull off to get fuel, food, and or rest for a bit. IMHO a "rest area" would be a gold mine. But like you said, you have to have money to do it. Additionally, the State of Vermont along with a vocal contingent of "we don't need or like new stuff built around here" complainers would make building such a venue even more difficult and expensive.

    I realize why you guys would think a rest area or truck stop would be a gold mine by that observation, but it is not based on fact I'm afraid. If you really want me to explain, I can, but I'd rather not. That's all after absolutely everyone from your neighborhood would say, "Truck stops bring in traffic, crime, and trash" to the point where anyone that allowed it would be voted out of office. That alone keeps them from being built and it's going on in Whitehouse, TN at this very moment. If you want me to tell you why they aren't goldmines, I could, but for the most part I'll just say that truckers take up a lot of real estate, and generally are self sufficient. They absolutely need places to park and there's a shortage of that and it's always getting worse, but from a business perspective most truckers park in the lot, maybe fuel up, come in and use the shitter, dump their trash, cook in the truck and then leave.

    You'd probably be better off with a produce stand and huge, flat, dirt lot. < Actually that's a pretty good idea.

    Similar idea. Someone should open a burger joint around the back of a strip joint and call it Rear Burger.

    What about hiring waitstaff that are socially dysfunctional savants and calling it Asburgers?

    Similar theme: I was in high school in 1999 at the peak of Napster. I distinctly remember telling a friend that people would pay for songs if they could buy them a la carte for $0.50-$1.00. A couple years later the iTunes Store shows up.

    Cheaper and easier: All girls get an IUD at, say, 14. They're already free under the ACA (for now), so just make it a requirement to enroll in public high schools like we do for vaccinations. Pick up the scraps by having no-cost no-age restriction Plan B available anywhere you can buy gum.
