A Dumb Idea Everyday

Campaigns should have an online portal where constituents can make proposals, other constituents can edit the proposal or support it 'as written'.  Users would also be able to submit their own ideas for slogans and logos.

A smartphone that's able to be docked at a workstation (two monitors, full keyboard, mouse, and office style phone with headset).  It will keep all of your work information on one physical space- backed up online- but a more convenient size than a surface/chromebook. Hotdesking is going to become more popular in the future, even though employers should not use it as an excuse to reduce the employees home station.

Workplaces need a calendar function for work functions that allows employees to choose available, tentative, or unavailable so they're able to let the company know if they're able to accomplish those specific offsite duties.  If the employees keep their availability up to date, it would make scheduling multi-worker events easier.

Cities should install pylons in the bike lane that detect oncoming bikes and automatically start the crosswalk signal. Bikes can choose to go through the pylons or not depending on their route of travel.

A CRM specifically built for law firms so attorneys can manage which people have atty/client relationships.  It would have a built in conflict checker and a la carte services menu that automatically creates a scope of relationship agreement.

States should create a lottery, where homeowners can pay $1 more on their state taxes to be put into a pool of money.  The winner gets a home renovation that upgrades to code (including amnesty for any work done without a permit) and energy efficiency.  New windows, energy efficient furnace, etc. The program would strengthen the state's housing stock, make living spaces safer, and reduce wasted energy.
