Transforming Policies for the Greater Good

by bernt & torsten

As the world stands on the brink of significant political shifts, those committed to justice and equality must craft innovative solutions that address pressing global challenges. This entails embracing bold reforms as a beacon of change capable of changing the current trajectory of political and social issues. Herein are proposals designed to uplift society and promote well-being across the globe.

Shorter Work Hours

One of the most transformative policies to energize progressive efforts is the implementation of reduced work hours without loss of income. The vision is to transition to a 35-hour workweek by 2031, ensuring more time for personal fulfillment while maintaining financial stability.

Universal Dental Care

Dental health is intrinsically linked to social equity. To that end, dental care is proposed to be integrated into the general healthcare insurance system, granting all individuals access to affordable or cost-free dental services.

Eradicating Hunger

With the global average GDP per capita exceeding $13,000 annually, the resources exist to ensure that every individual has sufficient means to live free from hunger and deprivation. It is unconscionable that people continue to suffer from a lack of food, water, sanitation, and basic healthcare in a world of such abundance.

Ending Conflict in Gaza

Urgent action is needed to address the humanitarian crisis in conflict zones such as Gaza. International diplomatic pressure, including measures like recalling ambassadors, should be used to advocate for an end to the blockade affecting civilians and to establish a lasting ceasefire.

Wealth Cap Philosophy

Inspired by the concept of libertarianism, which proposes a cap on individual wealth, this idea highlights the potential for a more equitable distribution of resources. It provokes a broader discussion on the stark inequalities that pervade modern societies and envisions a world with diminished economic disparities.

One-Time Wealth Tax

Imposing a one-time wealth tax of ten percent on billionaires' fortunes represents an opportunity to recalibrate the financial landscape. The revenue generated could be channelled into a public investment fund focused on enhancing infrastructure and public services for the benefit of all.

 

By embracing these transformative ideas, society can work towards a future where democracy delivers widespread prosperity and social justice, ensuring that everyone shares the benefits of progress.
