You have mentioned that you want to make America great again. I couldn't agree more.
The other day we were walking past a fire lookout on the National Forest. Fire lookouts are all over public lands in the west, and they are essential in helping detect and suppress wildfires. In the 1930's and 40's all of the lookouts had telephones at the lookout. There were telephone wires strung across the landscape so the fire lookouts could communicate with society, and let them know of any wildfires.
Today, very few fire lookouts have telephones. So, I feel that one of the things that would make America great again would be to employee telephone linemen to string the phone wires to the fire lookouts. This would employ more people in the essential service of communication, and connect the fire lookouts to the outside world.
This would be a great way to make America great again.
Thanks,
Your humble servant
