《Idealism》The Groundwork (6)

"The way I understand it, I submit a proposal for the budget and someone reviews it to decide, right?"
Lawson shook his head. "It's not a someone, it's two subcommittees. And considering that the budgets for the years that Trump was president, the budgets with high increase in defense and cuts for clean energy and so on, those budgets were approved, I think we need a full on corruption cleanse before we can truly decide. My worry is that the current anti-corruption crew that we have are corrupted themselves."
Joseph ruminated, one hand on his chin. "So we need a major purge."
"For the good of the country, yes. From the events of Trump's presidency, we can clearly see where everyone stood. I suppose that is one good thing, that when the darkness lingered long enough, the faults were exposed for everyone to see and to clear."
"Alright. Suggestion. We form two teams - one in the dark and one in the light. Then we can collaborate their results - it would also show if the current crew is corrupted. The problem comes from finding people we can trust for the hidden team... Lawson, do you know how they train the anti-corruption crew?"
Lawson laughed, somewhat bitterly. "Unfortunately, the extent of my knowledge doesn't cover that."
Joseph thought for a bit more. "Also, would hoarding money offshore be considered a crime?"
"I can see where you're going with this..the short answer is no."
"Aw-"
"But it is illegal if they hide them doing so, because tax exemption is illegal."
"Alright, then we keep that with the list of crimes. Currently, then, what we should do is investigate thoroughly how deep the filth have inflitrated the government, and flush it out. Then, fair elections must be held.

Honestly, I suppose that is how everything will go. We investigate thoroughly everything, and convict them for it. That is how it will go. We need to have grounds to throw them out of the field."
He begins writing on the board once more.
"Military? Where do all the defense funds go? Investigate. Release the results. Rid the people that attempt to hide it.
The police structure must be restructured. No quotas, no additional reward. Sweep through the police. The riots are actually making things worse than actual criminals, because the virus is still spreading and the hospitals are being strained. When the police are restructured we can then get to private prisons. So we have to investigate the police as well. But to work with each state to investigate the police requires a trustworthy head of state, and their trustworthy underlings. So, purge still needed.
Also, we need both a retiree plan and the student debt restructure. Unfortunately, we need to clear out the corrupted before we can actually submit the proposed budget and change the porpotion dedicated to education. Same with clean energy.
I've also reviewed the recycling sector. I think if - no, once - once we clear out the corrupted, we can push for a zero waste solution and create jobs that anybody can do.
I'm also thinking about reviewing the Patriot Act once the corrupted are cleared.
With all the houses we're planning to build, we can also release cheap housing prices. Or at least cheap rental prices."
"Right, about that," Lawson interrupted, "there is actually some problems with the current structure that you're planning to build."
"Oh, really? Very well. Tell me. But I'll just write one more... We need to build up a new media site. I think I've got just the person in mind, actually...
But the first ever ever thing we have to do is massly purge all the corrupted before we can make any headway. Shame, really. I was planning to lay out a web and strike fast and quick with everything."
"Sure you did."

Dark Seas Leading Demise
Having awakened within a forest with little to no memories of her past and being left with the sole task of surviving…what will Kaltyr do?-----------------------------------If when you're reading this there are only 49 chapters, then for all intents and purposes it's completed. The first 49 chapters are just a prologue, giving a long (135,000+ words) introduction to the main character, the power system, and how she obtained her powers--all within the forest she awoke within. You will not learn why the novel has its name.There are only 5 characters, 1 of which is the MC and only another of which is recurring for a time.I do have plans for future books of the series, but they aren't getting written for a long time because this was just a side project to practice the basics of storytelling and whatnot. I will instead be working on my real projects.This is a slow story that doesn't pander to the audience, but I hope you enjoy it, nonetheless.

What if the world was an RPG?
What if the world turned into an rpg? Throughout my entire life I always dreamt about magic, fantasy and otherworldly stuff that could never exist in my world.I would constantly daydream about being a hero in another world or maby a demon king in another world. Not only would i dream these dreams for years on end, but i would also ask myself questions such as "what would happen if people got superpowers" or " What if there was a RPG-system that gave you a class and powers and so on". These were just some of the questions i would ask myself on daily basis, well rather than to ask myself questions about it. I dreamt about it, I wished for it and i begged for it, but to no avail. So what was to come now, when a bluescreen suddenly popped up infront of my face and my surroundings turned to white.
