We should massively realign our resources in support of children 8 years old & younger. Every child should have the best education, healthcare, sports, food, exposure to the arts etc.That would be the most powerful long-term economic stimulus & support for a sustainable future.

Any specific policies or programs that you believe would help achieve that aim? Just curious....

For one thing, we are the only country that bases educational funding on property taxes. That should be scrapped. It ensures that children in poor neighborhoods will get a less quality education, further extending wealth inequality.

New Zealand is doing that. In her recent speech to the UN General Assembly, Prime Minister @jacindaardern set the ambitious goal to make #newzealand the best place in the world to be a child. This is why I brought my kids across the world to be raised here.

Why 8? I'd carry it through Grammar School till age 12.
