You can start with rewriting trade agreements so they benefit the American people. That's what the Constitution says is the job of the government, to serve the interests of the American people. First. Not corporations.
Second, rewrite the laws governing corporations. You know why this fire happened? Because the corporate bosses know that nobody can touch them no matter what their corporations do. They have the corporation standing as a buffer between them and the law. Like Willi Cicci tells the Senate in Godfather II, "Oh yeah. Buffers. The family had a lot of buffers." Financial corporations brought down the economy of the world. It was the worst ponzi scheme in history. You know how many got prosecuted? Zero. You know how many went to jail? Zero. In fact, the taxpayers paid them off so they wouldn't have to feel any economic ramifications from their criminality. That's how insane our system is. There are two sets of rules in America; One is for citizens, and another is for corporations.
