    Instead of going for a hail marry, why not do simple things that we know will work. Ban the industries that prey on the poor: gambling, pay-day/ car-title lending, rent to own anything, settlement-restructuring, and the practice of charging inmates rent. I’m sure there are plenty I forgot.

    If you really wanted revolutionary policy, do something about compounding interest.
