Starter Should governments refuse to use software they cannot independently audit? Essential public decisions should not depend on a vendor's promise.

Require access to independent assessment and meaningful explanations for consequential decisions. Full public source disclosure is not the only way to achieve accountable procurement.

Starter Should workers have a binding vote before their jobs are moved overseas? A decision that changes an entire community deserves more than a notice.

A binding vote gives workers leverage, but the process needs access to credible alternatives and financial information. Otherwise management can present only collapse or relocation.

Starter Would democracy improve if candidates could not mention their opponents in paid ads? Attack ads may reveal real problems, but they also reward peop…

A challenger should be able to explain failures in an incumbent's record. Prohibit fabricated claims rather than every reference to an opponent.

Starter Should public institutions accommodate every sincerely held belief equally? Equal treatment becomes difficult when beliefs require incompatible arr…

Equal respect does not require identical accommodations. Institutions can explain practical limits and offer alternatives without ranking which beliefs are worthy.

Starter Should national emergencies automatically expire unless voters renew them?

Emergency powers should expire unless independently reviewed and narrowly renewed.

Starter Should customers boycott companies that replace staff with self-service machines?

Customers can oppose a transition that worsens service or treats displaced workers unfairly.

Starter Should addictive digital design be regulated like other consumer risks?

Products designed to undermine self-control deserve scrutiny like other consumer hazards.

Starter Should platforms be responsible for harmful content their algorithms amplify?

Choosing to amplify material creates a stronger responsibility than merely hosting it.

Starter Should public benefits depend on a willingness to accept available work?

Work conditions should account for health, caregiving, transport, and realistic job availability.

Starter Should governments restrict protests near politicians' homes?

Families and neighbors did not volunteer to become permanent protest targets.

Installment branding does not remove the risks of borrowing and missed payments.

Starter Should platforms explain every decision to suspend a worker's account?

Workers need reasons and a timely appeal when an account controls their income.
