    • Sun‑hour logistics: chill stores & hubs run on daytime solar.
    • Rescue + compost: redirect surplus; soil the rest.
  14. 🔗
    🏗️

    Fix Architecture

    Buildings that breathe, harvest rain, and talk to the sun.

    • Every roof: solar or garden — preferably both.
    • Daylight, insulation, and passive cooling before HVAC.
    • End the reign of the sad mirrored box.

    ⚖️

    Fix EV Weight Limits (Legal Only)

    Different vehicle, different brakes — just a different timeline. Update GVW rules for EV cars & vans.

    • Adjust the cap by +1–2 tonnes (e.g., allow 4,5 t and 5,5 t) to offset battery mass — payload stays the same; safety stays the same.
    • By how much it extends range:
      • Pack-level energy density: ≈ 180 Wh/kg
        • +1 t (≈ 1 000 kg) → ≈ +180 kWh extra capacity
        • +2 t (≈ 2 000 kg) → ≈ +360 kWh extra capacity
        • Typical use: 0.30–0.35 kWh/km
          → +1 t ≈ +515–600 km energy range
          → +2 t ≈ +1030–1200 km energy range
    • Braking & safety parity: EVs rely on larger brake systems plus strong regenerative braking, cutting stopping‑distance fade and brake dust. Legal weight increase is tied to verified braking/axle performance ≥ ICE equivalents.
    • Infrastructure unchanged: Keep axle‑load limits and bridge classes the same; enforcement via weigh‑in‑motion and certification — this is a legal adjustment, not a roadworks project.

    🛠️

    Fix the Right to Repair

    Let people fix what they own — less waste, more resilience.

    • Guarantee access to parts, tools, diagnostics & manuals at fair terms.
    • End DRM/VIN‑locked parts that block independent repair and refurbish.
    • Design for disassembly; use standard fasteners and modular batteries.

✨ Bonus Fixes (Community Edition)

  • Put the toilet paper roll the right way (finally).
  • Ban pop‑ups (digital and political).
  • Fix autocorrect so it stops changing “solar” to “solid.”
  • Default dark mode as an emotional setting, not just UI.
  • Bring back stars you can see from cities.

By logic, love, and light combined — let broken systems be re‑aligned.
