South Carolina's first district is represented by a woman named Nancy Mace, and lately she's been making some interesting points about America's looks.

A group of youtubers has kind of recruited her as a spokeswoman for this complaint they have about the way people look in America. They think Americans are ugly and they want mobs to start fights about it.

They frame it as a "trans issue", but when they rile people up, those people can only see with their eyes. It's all based on looks. They're posting pictures of strangers' faces and bodies, not their birth certificates. They do not know these people. They only know how they look, and they're mad. They want everybody to look and dress a certain way, particularly women, whose restrooms they're screening.

In order to meet their standard of femininity, it costs money. It can cost a lot of money, if you need something like laser hair removal or new shoes. This is called The Pink Tax. And if Nancy Mace catches you in the women's room without those things, she will have a panic attack.

We need to fund this standard if we're requiring people to meet it on pain of arrest. We want Nancy to live in a friendlier world too. There's a way to do that without introducing the sartorial laws she's fighting for under the guise of protecting women, who she cannot recognize without expensive makeup.

We're going to give women the money to look the way Nancy is demanding that they do. Without a stipend we can't ask them to go buy that much. We're giving it to men too, so they can get a real suit. If we need America to meet some visual standard, let's go for it.

I would introduce the American VISUAL Act. The Visual Improvement Stipend for Upkeep And Looks.

This is $100 a month that goes to everybody for one year. If you're rich or don't want it, you can sign on to donate your part to schools, shelters, hospitals and so on. It works like SNAP so it can only be spent on 1. toiletries, skincare, vision, dental type items, 2. clothes, 3. haircuts, 4. laundromats or alterations, 5. things to make clothes or cosmetics.

For people at the bottom, this can function as a lifeline. For people at the top, maybe they donate enough to buy coats for every student in the country. For people in the middle, they would be able to develop their style, get higher quality things, spend more on American-made items, and some might get a sewing machine and start a small business.

This would transform American style, it would close our gap with France, and it would make Nancy Mace feel more like she's at the country club she wants to be in.
