10 Great Ways To Improve the World
To serve others in the name of God
and to spread acts of love
throughout the world,
these ten change sets
are proposed to society.
and to spread acts of love
throughout the world,

are proposed to society.
1. H2drogen Economy
A fuel cell kilowatt can be made for about 1/3 the price of nuclear power. Fuel cells using bacteria and fungus enzymes and running on hydrogen will produce electricity cheaply and make NO pollution.
Hydrogen can be stored in metal hydride form. The metal absorbs hydrogen 2-3 times as densely as liquid hydrogen and cannot explode. This stores and transports hydrogen safely and efficiently. These systems can cheaply replace all coal, fission, and petrol for fuel or force, without producing pollution, damaging the environment, or producing greenhouse gasses.
2. World Service Reform
We can commission safe wells be dug every few square miles in every populated place on earth, innoculate everyone on earth from malaria and a handful of other diseases, provide adequate prenatal nutrition and set aside hundreds of thousands of square miles of wetlands and rainforest for under $3 billion.
We can set up training and working shops for otherwise impoverished people in every part of the 3rd world. People you don't know make your shoes, your computer, your car. Helping other people you don't know will help everyone. They will provide basic necessities for people undergoing skills training and give them the opportunity to work in functional eco-friendly factories and farms set up to provide basic necessities for local and international populations. This can be set up for a principal sum of approximately $10 billion, equal to about a quarter of IMF & WB third world debt, and maintained on its own profit and regional economic improvement.

3. Freedom of Movement
By removing border limitations and enforcing health standards, education systems, and economic reform we can give everyone the freedom to live where they choose. Regionalism does not improve total economic performance or social freedom. Those wishing to immigrate to a land area should be allowed to do so and competition for employment should be extended globally without national interference. Provisions to ethically maintain order and global security can be transparently enforced.
When someone moves to an area they should bring at least one 'standard quality of living' with them, and a standard quality of living should be equalized throughout the world. This is charity. Education training and basic economic opportunity can be provided in a similar way to world service reform. From that state run industry platform, trained and experienced workers can compete for jobs from regulated businesses or begin their own enterprise.

4. State Run Industry
5. Education Reform
State run not-for-profit industries can effectively regulate interstate commerce and big business. When the state provides some industry they can keep corporate profit-taking to a minimum and create a fiduciary challenge for industries to compete for the best customer service and worker standards.
Large Shoe Company pays about $1 of labor, $2 of shipping, and $14 of marketing per shoe to total $17 cost. Price of shoe: $90. The $73 of profit goes primarily to corporate profit.
A state run industry would voluntarily pay workers a living wage of perhaps $7 per shoe, experience lower shipping costs, small overhead, minimal marketing expenses, and charge possibly $15-20 per shoe. This will substantially reduce the cost of living and just by being a market competetor the state industry will make corporations charge much less for their product and run a fairer trade system.
If the 3rd world is uplifted by international fair trade or begins its own state run industries, private corporations will pay workers more, take less abusive profits, and fall in line with ethical treatment of business. The state can do this for all industries that 95% of citizens use. This will help us be more ready for disaster relief, give us more workable resources and reduce the size of government. For example, the state could begin building more efficient vehicle engines or research fuel cells, or start growing more oats to regulate agricultural prices. This will allow the state and central bank to play a greater role in economic guidance and give us an easier way to balance erratic budgets. It will put more economic control in the hands of citizens and provide a better environment for all.
Publicly funded electioneering with equal portions for all candidates collecting a certain number of signatures would take the 'business' out of voting.

5. Education Reform
Students should be aided in pursuing their intellectual curiosity by research assistants, aka teachers, and voluntarily take tests measuring their aptitude in certain specific areas of knowledge. This will tailor education to the student's level and fit them with the education that suits and motivates them best. Achievement degrees can be built from series of successful tests for everything from math to homemaking to pick your own major.
We should connect this circuit to the workforce. To become active in service in any skilled field a student must pass a standardized bar examination demonstrating their aptitude and ability in that field, complete graded apprenticeships/internships, and pursue [paid] continuing education. By paying workers to pursue education and pass tests in their field, we will vastly and increasingly improve the education and skill level of all of our professionals, promoting research, competency, and proficiency in our fields of service. Learning will never cease and switching economies and fields of labor even later in life will be doable, making our ability to serve one another more dynamic and reducing the threat of unemployment and cost of institutional learning.
Students should be encouraged to form homeschooling groups assisted by tutors, funded by education tax vouchers. This will provide many more jobs for freelance educators based on their skill. Official chapter testing for homeschooling groups can be performed at local libraries.

6. Healthcare For All
Healthcare expense reduces our ability to serve everyone. Insurance should be provided as a state run industry in competition with private insurers.
We can serve better using webcam conferencing in the home and institution. A federal patient database can replace existing billing systems. State run pharmaceutical manufacturing and public medical research funding will reduce medical expense. Education and testing reform will make it easier to serve.
Webcams can turn assisted living candidates into independent citizens. The elderly can use webcam technology to teleconference with doctors, family, and other care providers. This will reduce demand for long term care. Fewer elderly and disabled will require live-in help to sustain high quality of living. Live-in caregivers can check in on numerous patients in their own homes instead of serving them in a group facility.
This can be duplicated in the hoispital. Doctors can address some patient concerns via webcam and order tests taken near the patient and emailed to the office. This can increase doctors' and patients' efficiency. Many patients will still require personal visits but some can receive guidance and prescription in the comfort of their home.
A confidential federal patient databse will allow healthcare institutions to focus resources on service. A patient's ID can be acquired and their information sent to the database. This will reduce the need for billing departments and servers and save professional attention and keystrokes.
International standardization of medicine and free medical trade will reduce the cost of drugs. Reducing the term of medical copyrights will allow more medicines to be produced openly, reducing price and advancing drug research. Public funding of medical research comes in the form of unpaid grants. Private funders of medical research often expect 8% returns on investment or more, especially if the drug does well.
Doctors should receive medical information. Advertising to patients should cease. Citizens should be encouraged to ask their doctor or pharmacist about possible new treatments for illness. Doctors should not receive payouts or gifts for prescribing drugs. This will increase our ability to provide medical care and insurance. Medical fields should be streamlined of expenses, not in terms of service, but in terms of corporation.
Shifting the way we train and license medical professionals will increase our ability to serve others quickly and well and reduce stress. Building new medical facilities will give us the space required to treat a growing number of patients. Reducing various forms of pollution will improve overall world health.

7. Agriculture Reform
State subsudy makes corn very cheap, and edges out most 3rd world agriculture. Livestock have eaten grass for millions of years. Feeding them cornmeal makes them unhealthy and malnourished and they require antibiotics and other treatment. They have more body fat and less healthy properties, which are passed onto the consumer. Growing different kinds of crops, using more greenhouse space, and growing substantially less tobacco for more vegetables will improve agriculture and health.
Eliminating artificial flavorings and colorings, reducing the amount of sugar, salt, and fat in food products, and increasing portion service sizes will increase consumer dietary health. By taking all additives out of tobacco we can improve the health of even smokers. Labeling the products in alcohol and tobacco will increase awareness and help companies make purer foods and drugs.

8. Software Defined Radio
Computers can be used in combination with two-way radio to send and receive private radio messages. This can replace unhealthy and expensive cellular phone service and provide a free worldwide communication medium. With urban towers, signal rebroadcasting, and satellite services this medium can beam information of any kind anywhere in the world, including television and data streams. It can link to form radio chatrooms, public radio broadcast, and even accomplish internet functions. Because encryption levels are so good and because GPS shows up everywhere on earth above ground, this service can be used extensively, without personal expense, and without producing harmful radiation.
9. Transportation Reform
Maglev trains use magnets to levitate trains along paths above the tracks. State of the art maglev trains can move at 300mph. Because of electromagnetic resistance they can carry heavy loads of freight and numerous passengers between cities relatively inexpensively, rapidly, and cleanly.
Scramjets use novel flight technology to fly at up to 7000mph. This equipment can be added to future commercial airplanes to make travel faster and reduce fuel costs. By suspending enormous reinforced zeppelins at altitudes of 35,000 feet we can increase the safety and further reduce the time and expense of air travel. By suspending these zepplins at about 45 miles up we can dramatically decrease the cost of space travel and provide upper atmosphere services. We may be able to collect power through this space elevator from the difference between the earth's atmosphere and ground, the cause of lightning. The atmosphere may be a large capacitor. Lightning is continually striking somewhere on earth.

10. Law and Rehabilitation Reform
By reforming immigration law with the use of education and economic reform we can save border security for serious violent threats and allow peaceful workers to participate in societies and workforces.
Traffic law should be updated to reflect modern automotive advances such as radial tires, disc brakes, and in the near future lighter frames, advanced safety features, and reduced need for alternative fuel conservation. Traffic police should not interfere with mid-transit citizens unless they are demonstrating dangerous behavior or are in need of immediate information about their vehicle or personal status. This will reduce state police overhead and police power can be shifted to controlling crime, performing community outreach, public service, and solving cases.
By giving convicted criminals and probationers specialized and tailored study sentences in addition to punitive sentences we can seperate those who do not wish to study and participate in society from those who do, and help both achieve their positive goals. Once the sentence and study is complete or the time for study has passed the prisoner will be released with a report card giving him or her a new direction to follow in society, and hopefully useful new social and economic skills to ensure they they will not return to the brig.
We can circumvent most drug arrests by changing drug law to reflect respect for peaceful recreational drug use. Arresting millions of peaceful drug users damages the system, the state, and society's respect for the law. It wastes police power that should be used to fight violent crime. Currently drug law creates a black market that adds to lawbreaking and social woes. To reduce this and to 'catch all the black marketers' change the law.
We can also circumvent most dangerous problems use by changing the way we conduct education and economic performance, and by changing the way society works and how people pursue their desires and goals, which will be achieved by straightening out the laws and ways of our society.
Enacting these changes to society will improve the way we treat the planet, one another, and ourselves. This behavior will honor God and bring us peace and prosperity, and love, which is what we all have been made to desire.
