A national high speed rail network.
A national single payer health care system.
A federal, universal, single payer school system with per student funding and no segregation by area codes or any other method.

i think you probably want to do something to limit student commute time, but I also think the US should reduce the student:teacher ratio by a third and build or repurpose whatever buildings you need to do to make that happen, which would reflect existing segregation but remembering being a kid, I'd much rather have an extra hour of sleep every day.
A world that has been healthy and devoid of any totally-not-American-bioweapons for the last 2.5 years because we locked down for 2 weeks back in 2020.

Speaking of the US in 2022:
Insulin that can be afforded, or better yet simply provided, to fucking everyone.
Medicine prices that match pretty much the entire rest of the world.
CEOs having caps on their pay, based upon the lowest-paid employees pay, like pretty much the sane rest of the world already have.
Let's both point and laugh at those weirdo Canadians, who call a filling station a "gas bar" :kkkanada:
If it makes you feel better, people in New Jersey and Oregon aren't allowed to pump their own gas
Why would you even want to pump your own gas, leave alone the average weirdo to do it. It's dirty and dangerous, especially considering there are capitalists out there.

Nobody ever actually speaks those words though
Capitalist academia cannot be trusted, under socialism cables will not tangle. We have nothing to lose but our knotted chains.
I wonder if you could make a type of cable that gets progressively stiffer the more you bend it, resisting tangling while retaining enough plasticity to be useful...
Wish the Rocksmith series had continued, the original game was fun.
This does exist, it's called Miracast. Basically every tv, phone, and computer had it as a base feature about 10 years ago, only for it to get discontinued on more and more things because unfortunately it kind of sucks due to the inverse square law making wireless communication kinda sucky.
The biggest problem was latency, even though it would support 4K60 video, there could sometimes be multi-second delays.
