Maybe this thread could be a lifting off point for a startup - in which case I'd consider it a success :)
Similarly, I want to work remotely but can't because of company culture. I am willing to negotiate but they are not. Even if I could work remotely, other countries won't let me stay for more than a month or without me arbitrarily flying out and then flying back in.
These are all problems that I'm having in my life right now, and they aren't really tech problems compared to people ones. Influential people need to be the ones to solve these problems, but none of them have taken action.
I hope this can be fixed somehow. In the 2010s, I went from not being able to text my international friends on my phone to it being trivial and near-zero in price (thanks Whatsapp!).
I hope something big changes in 2020.
There are a lot of things I want to do in life that someone tells me I can't do. For example, I can't buy a house for an affordable price because the supply is artificially constrained for less-than-ideal reasons.

Climate change should be anyone's first answer.
Affordable container ship that is electric.
A personal finance software that solves upper-middle class issues (eg. primary income, side business, rentals, etc.).
A product/service that makes CROs obsolete in drug development (CROs = 25% of cost of drugs; admin overhead)
Idk, those are some that immediately come to my mind.

Bought a 3 bedroom house for $75k because I work remotely. There are cheap places to live in America, you don't have to fly out of country.
