Price gauging in the automotive industry. I am looking at two special Ford Mustangs in a dealer showroom and they have $10K and $15K added on to them. If they cost $62K and $52K new, they should be sold as such.

How long do they really need to be in DC? How many times are they voting anyway?

All politicians shall carry Constitutions on their persons (jacket/coat, car, office, luggage, briefcase/bag, etc.).

All military businesses (Commissary, PX/BX, Shoppette, etc.) shall have the cheapest prices, and all vendors that supply them shall give the cheapest prices. One of the benefits of being military is the use of on-base facilities. PX/BX should not cost more than Wal-Mart or any other civilian store.

Military members will get a raise and/or receive extra benefits (tax breaks and mandatory discounts).

Hate crime legislation shall be removed. Crime is crime. We don't need one-side measures to add to that. Extra protection will continue for those such as military members.

Social media companies shall not be considered private companies and will comply with the First Amendment of it's users.

If any news/political/media organization purposely lies on their broadcast (showing young picture of Trayvon Martin in order to influence public opinion), you will be shut down.

English will be our national language. It will be properly learned or no citizenship. All multilingual signs and labels will be removed.

The American flag, state flags, and other historic American flags (rebel flag) will be protected, so disrespecting or destroying any one of those will be a Federal crime and subject to treason and/or deportation.

Currency will never have it's overall design changed. They are called "Dead Presidents" because they feature a different dead president on each of it's bills and coins. No other historic person shall ever be one a Federal Reserve Note.

During time of war, we should never have our hands tide with unnecessary red tape. The USA should be able to destroy an enemy by any means necessary.

Consumers will be able to pick and choose what TV channels they receive from their Cable or Satellite provider. We shouldn't have to be forced to receive Spanish versions of American channels and have to purchase other English speaking channels.

Squatting will be illegal. If you don't own it, you cant live in it.

Price gauging period. A 20oz bottle of soda (or even a 12oz can) should not cost above a set price regardless of where it is purchased.

And we are going to let the government set all of these prices? How about wages, should the government set those too?

You should check out this weird, little known concept I read about on the dark web. It's called "supply and demand".  Also, since you don't believe in the free market, maybe you should change the "libertarian" part of your bio to something else.

No. A business should be allowed to service whoever they wish. If the customer doesn't like it, they can go elsewhere.  However, if that business was started with government (taxpayer) dollars, different story.

No. The free market can decide what is real and what is fake.  Any journalistic protections, however, should be removed.

From what I can tell over your last few posts, you have a problem with the free market.

They do that anyway. What if I lived in one of those Liberal areas and was forced to pay my employees $15 an hour?

Social media was started with taxpayer money. Just because the next generation didn't have to, the whole social media empire started is a result of taxpayer money. And even so, I view them as a different ballgame. They are not a direct product (Ford - pay for car) or service (Uber - pay for car ride). They are social media. It allows anybody to freely speak their mind visually via words (how social media makes their money on the back end is not a direct result of consumer interaction (we didn't pay for anything). Their whole purpose is be an avenue for your thoughts and opinions.

Liberals and conservatives can take the same information an have a biased opinion either way. If information is changed, it is not true information. Trayvon was not twelve years old. They went with that as a influential purpose to make the audience believe he was young and innocent. His actual character was far from the truth.

This is not a free market when the social media decides that I can't use them because of my political leanings. That would be the equivalent of the only cable TV supplier in my town saying I can't purchase their service because I voted for Trump. That's not a market: it's a monopoly. And you replying that I can go to dish is like saying since I can't use Twitter or Facebook properly, I can use this newer, smaller one as a consolation prize.

I know if I buy a multipack of said soda at a grocery store, it will be (per item) cheaper that buying it individually at a convenience store. But the gauging that occurs at places like an airport just because you are a captive audience is overkill; especially, since they have the monopoly and you as a consumer can't bring anything in through TSA considered normal. This is a step below overcharging for that generator during a hurricane. It's all taking advantage of a situation. A free market would allow different convenient shops at the airport to have different prices. Where is that 2 for $3.00/2 for $3.33/2 for $3.50 like a Sheetz, Wawa, or 7-11?

I see you left out the "militant" part. Besides, some of the things that aught to be implemented, is going to be tough (even extreme). It is what is needed.

I expect to pay more at an airport.

No. Specific social media companies were started with taxpayer money.

The current big social media companies, yes.  If I start a new social media service, and it takes off, I did that with my own money and ingenuity.  I shouldn't be regulated, no matter how big I get.

Then what rules are Solar and I subject to in regards to banning someone on this forum?

The social media companies that were started with taxpayer money, like Facebook, should not be allowed to ban anyone for political leanings, nor should they be allowed to sell data.
