# 16 Eliminating Hunger in America

Feeding America

Certified Food stamps, WIC, Suppliemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Restaurants.

It has been said that America has the fattest poor people in the world. Typically people respond that it’s that cheap food has lots of fat. While this is true it doesn't cut to the heart of the problem. One problem is that many people are poor simply because they cannot compete. They are the bottom 10 percentile. They didn’t learn how to read, they are not computer literate, and they have developmental problems, whatever. If I was playing dungeons and dragons still I would say these are all those discarded dice rolls you made when making your character. They have 3-5 points of strength, intelligence, wisdom, dexterity, charisma, or constitution.

That said, in America we give people money to get food if they are poor. The most recent name for this is SNAP What we don’t do is cook for them. What makes you think they know how to do anything more than warm up a can of beans or eat a hot-dog microwaved in hot water?

Why don’t restaurants serve the poor? One, they don’t have money. Two they can’t accept the type of money they are given. Three, there is no profit in it.

Solution,

Allow certified restaurants, to accept SNAP cards. These restaurants can be franchises or chains, faith based, or not. The menus would need to be simple, affordable food. Think Mac and cheese, Spaghetti and meat sauce. What we call staples, hearty meals, or comfort foods. Big pots and casseroles. The key being how cheap are the menus. Restaurants would earn rewards for feeding the most with the least, for the least. Serve a healthy pre-determined recipe to 10,000 people for $1.00, for example 8 ounces of mac and cheese, with computerized, unaltered results. Then you receive a percentage of the profits of all the restaurants in the same classification. In other words, a portion of the income tax’s collected from all the restaurant’s go to your restaurant.

-It might go without saying but the qualifications for this would need to change, and it would be best to make this change at the national level, after a few prototype programs are administered in small, medium and large states.

Hot food restriction would need to change.

More clarification:
Restaurants would need to serve a menu of 3 to 10 pre-determined and required menu items that meet FDA health and nutrition guidelines.

# 15 Expansion of the Airspace to allow for virtual highways in the sky.

 In the very near future we as a nations, countries, states, provinces, counties, districts, cities and towns will be confronted with a new solution for the transportation on of People. Specifically this technology will be known as ‘Air Cars.’

These Air Cars will be able to land anywhere, and actually function better at low speeds. 

Rules will need be made to address how these Air cars come into and out of our communities. Both at a low altitude for landing in your driveway or rooftop and at higher altitudes.

In addition, these cars will have built in digital wireless communications which will allow for data to be transmitted to and from them informing each other and their surroundings where they are and how fast they are going.

This allows for 2 opportunities.

1)      The construction of virtual highways and airspace at different levels of height, where speed and directions can be regulated

2)      The freeing of people from the ground requirements of ground based roadways so that faster commutes can be designed and obtained

The requirements of this to happen are:

1)      Construction of Air Car factories, that will build, distribute and sell the Air Cars.

2)      Construction, deployment and training of virtual highway designers

That said, regulations and designs of virtual highways are only necessary if we desire to prevent collisions, and reduce traffic above our homes. It is not needed if no one minds AirCars ten feet above your home traveling at 220 miles per hour. 

Please Note:

I won't get into how they are designed. You can contact me if you would like to participate in a trial license to manufacture Air Cars or would like to negotiate some other deal.



Drones should be treated by size. For instance, if no larger then the largest model airplane (3-4 feet) they should be treated as such. Drones of this size are allowed over residential zones. They are not allowed to 'buzz' unaware people but are allowed to hover over aware people to provide shade, cooling, and other useful purposes.

#14 Transperancy

There is no reason to not be transparent in all actions. We all know the good, the bad and the ugly sides of humanity. There isn't any story we haven't been told. Well, actually there are many stories that haven't been told. That said, why hide your shame? There is no shame unless you make it shameful. Pride causes shame. Ego. Release your ego and move on. In the same way we as a society need to learn what is and what isn't. As camera's become cheaper, there will be no such thing as privacy. There are people that don't want you to know they are recording you. All public camera's transmissions should be made public, in real time.The people paid for them, they get to watch them. The representatives, agents, and the people tasked with enforcing the will of the people shall also have access to these video feeds. Transparency.

# 13 Active Recruitment and organization of People on Unemployment

I would order all government departments to stop counting how much less is getting done, and go do something.

Need an example?

You, go recruit 1000 people to organize 1000000 people into work groups that use a verb and then do that verb. For example,  Make ____________ or Grow ___________

# 12 Where United Earth Is

I promote the idea of a border-less Earth. That said, this is impractical at the moment. If  you really need to know why it's because all the Nations of the Earth have spent a long time becoming who they are, even if it is still a little mixed up. But what do you expect when the only constant is Change, and Change, Changes. That is a different subject. Where we do have a border-less Earth is where United Earth is to be established. There is only one place that fits that description, The Oceans outside of the territorial limits of the Nations. Thus that is where United Earth first needs to establish itself.

In particular the Organization of Humanity of United Earth needs to regulate the oceans  the sky above the oceans s, the surface of, and floor of, and beneath the floor of all the worlds oceans.

So I hereby declare United Earth, representing all of Humanity, and for and by Humanity, owner and possessor of all Oceans outside the Territorial limits of the current nations of Earth.

I also declare that all Space around the star known as Sol from it's center with a radius outward of 10 light years also the Provence of United Earth. Owned by Humanity and the people of the Sol system. This does not include the normal heights of nations or planets that possess atmospheres, based on practical limits. In other words, if you can't get to that height, then it's not yours. Moons are owned by the People of the Planets they orbit.

All mineral resources being mined or grown are subject to taxation. Although Humanity forgoes the right to do so at this time.

This is enforced by Me, Organizer and current holder of the Office of Humanity. Cabinet members, offices, departments and agency positions are currently being actively recruited.

# 11 Mass Advertising, and the Growth of the Internet and Blogs

Mass Advertising, and the Growth of the Internet and Blogs

The spread of basic functional literacy in industrial societies combined with the improvements in communication technologies to lay the basis for the development of new approaches to the promotion of creating demand for the rapidly increasing output of goods by increasingly efficient industrial systems. Drawing upon increased understanding of the nature of human compulsions shaped by the environment around them, advertisers would also learn lessons gained by States in their propaganda efforts during periods of war to rally the population to support the goals of the nation in its conflict. The result would be a rapid expansion of the use of simple, direct means of advertising to popularize new products and increase the appeal and demand for established products would become permanent features of popular culture as the twentieth century evolved, and would eventually come to impact other realms of public life, including politics. This isbased on the ideas and writtings presented in http://www.paradoxian.org/vickywiki/index.php/Culture_Inventions#Mass_Advertising

From Television, to movies, and the internet, these facts must be recognized, and combated with the knowledge of what is a Fallacious Argument. I’ve found a good source of what is a fallacious argument to be found at http://www.don-lindsay-archive.org/skeptic/arguments.htm 

# 10 Mutualism

As our society becomes more industrialized in the long, to very long term, we need to recognize that the majority of humans may become unemployed. While I would like all these so called unemployed people to continue to be individual craftsmen, that isn't always feasible for all people. To address this need to support the nation, and in deed humanity, some great thinkers came up with a social philosophy. It is called Mutualism.
---------------------------

Mutualism recognized industrialization would require larger means of production than one laborer could manage. In other words, as industrialization increases, then need for labor decreases. There would be individual laborers working as independent craftsmen, but there also would need to be free, democratic associations of workers (or former workers) sharing equally in the ownership of the means of production such a factories. Goods produced by the factories would still be priced according to the total cost to the associated laborers, who would share the proceeds equally. This is why I advocate that everyone should become an owner in the means of production. That is to say, own stock in the company you work for, by grant or purchase, and as many other companies as you are able.
Economic viability requires credit, which the mutualists understood. They proposed mutually held savings banks (today we call these credit unions, although most if not all are watered down versions) which would lend money only at an interest rate required to meet the administrative costs of operating the bank. The stakeholders in the banks would be the freely associating laborers who benefited from the credit.
Mutualism opposed both the collectivization of property under communism and the accumulation of property under capitalism. Proudhon (and my-self, see rental policies) also rejected what he called the possession of property in which the property holder could make money by rents or impede others from using the property. Instead, mutualism supported private ownership of that amount of property required by a laborer to support the means of production the laborer or laborers controlled.
Bonuses based on false earnings statements, which have been restated to be lower at a later time. And they still get their bonuses.
Under the current structure of most (in not all) corporations, the CEO, and the executive staff create all the value, and workers create almost nothing.
If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If CFO’s and Financial managers at those companies were angels, no corporate governance would be necessary.

Solution 1
Stock is paid to employee and Employees can sell bonds to the company. All stock is voting stock.
Solution 2
See Rental Policy
Solution 3
A new model of business needs to be created. (I'm working on this)
