Craggles™
Sandles for the crag allowing belayers to quickly slip them on and off. Toe area capped with light armour and good rubber soles for scrambling. Of course they have accessory loops for quickly attaching to bags for multi-pitch, Gone are the days of sore feet from belaying in climbing shoes, toe damage from catching a whip in flip-flops, or holding up your climbing partner by trying to find your approach shoes and a spot to put them on.
Wrecking ball duels!
Ever heard of Overwatch?
I've rented an airbnb for a few hours when i had a long layover. Some hotels have day rates. There's an app - hotels by day or something like that.

Nonprofit versions of vital social tech. If I had the money sitting around, I'd love to start a nonprofit dating site/app. I met my wife on OKC in 2011 before it got bought up and enshittified. It was great and wasn't geared toward just keeping you engaged (they're soooooo bad now!). You'd probably have to gatekeep it with a small fee to disincentive bots, but with a relatively small investment, you could create something really useful for folks without preying on anyone's desperation.
Signal would be a good model for this sort of thing.
Edit: typos
Actually... a Fediverse OK Cupid clone could totally be a thing... runs away to ponder

Government workers should have wages and benefits that go up when the economy goes up.
put all the health sensors in wireless earpiece rather than a watch.
Eh, way more comfortable to wear a watch than an earpiece / headpiece imo
if its an either or I can see that. of course many people use an earpiece anyway when they use a phone. Its a rare site for me to see someone on the phone with it up to their ear. Heck its more often I see (and hear) the folks using speakerphone.
A society based on mutual aid :3
And also bluetooth earbuds without touch controls
"nap" lol
Instead of mandatory military service like some countries have, people should have mandatory public work for two years. Whether it be labor, clerical/administrative, etc, it could help young people learn a new skill, get guaranteed work to get the started, and could potentially save a ton in taxes. It would also create the opportunity to start getting caught up some things that keep getting swept under the rug like bridge maintenance , etc.
Yeah. Similar to this I think junior high should have a bigger focus on being outside. Like one semester should be spend camping or something. It’s such a formative time and so many kids spend it scrolling through reels. There is something so real and unforgiving about Mother Nature that a 13 year old should really know about.
the top 50% richest people should have
The rest of people are already working these mandatory jobs.

Shhh! Nobody tell them…
Top comment, should be pinned. We need a gaggle of these. A gagglebyte.
Candidates for public office should be required to undergo a mental health assessment as part of the process of getting on the ballot, and those who score beyond (above or below, as may be relevant) particular thresholds are barred from seeking office.
I sincerely believe that there's no single thing we could do that would provide more benefit to the world than to get sociopaths and narcissists and megalomaniacs out of positions of power. Each and every one of the most notable and contentious politicians in the world today is, if you just take a step back and look at them honestly, blatantly profoundly mentally ill. Enough is enough.
The idea itself is fine, but in practice it wouldn't work. The kind of people you are trying to screen out in the process would just study do give the responses of a passing assessment, probably with the help of heavily paid mental health professionals.
Psicology is hard to test and prove, most of the things you are looking to test would not be visible in bloodwork or brainscans.
