Politics! I want to see it all go away. I want to see grocery prices come down, but I don’t hold much hope for that. That’s what I want, and I’m sure that others want that, too. Politics are very divisive and violent right now. I feel that we are going backward. I’d like to see the world go back to some form of sanity.

I’d like to see a change in how our water resources are managed, as it’s becoming increasingly contentious. We all need water, and I’d like to see more collaboration and diverse voices included in how we develop our water policies.

I’d like to see Gothic interior design make a comeback in fashion. I’d like to see interior design change to a dark and moody aesthetic. It fits the times that we’re living in. It’s a dark, dark world out there.

I’d like to see more Starbucks in Reno. I need proximity to work and home. I drive too far to find a Starbucks. That’s the problem. I want a premium product, and I like the whole corporate, robotic experience. I’ll pay whatever for that.

I’d like to see a ban on cursive writing. Nobody can read it today. It’s a poor man’s calligraphy. It’s a dead artform; it’s not useful anymore. Signatures used to be pretty and flowing, and now they’re just a line on a screen.
