Making it so that healthier food is more affordable and eating less meat as a species would make it so that the world can have better farming practices that actually benefit the earth and environment. Especially here in America, there is so much wrong with how we eat and how the food is produced. Healthier eating practices would lead to better farming practices, which leads to a healthier earth. With the amount of beef we eat in America, farmers that actually treat the animals and ecosystems well cannot produce fast enough to meet the demand on their own. If we change the way we eat, we could have a much healthier human race and a much healthier planet. If you made it this far into my rambling post, I appreciate your patience. Have a good day :)

Universal Basic Income and Medicare for All. Sorry, but all of the talk about living wages and good jobs just isn't going to work in the near future. Automation, AI and robotics will start replacing large swathes of workers in a diverse range of industries. The last McDonald's I went to no longer had cashiers, only kiosks to place an order.

I have a few about how to change governments:

Legistlative: Instead of Congress/Parliment, we have 100 seats on a Council, which each have their own criteria based on census data for the population and the percentage of certain groups in that country (i.e., 50/50 male/female, an amount of LGBTQ+/POC seats equivalent to the percentage of those individuals in the country, a wide spectrum of ages)

Executive: No more parties, and CERTIANLY not an Electoral College or anything. Electoral College delegates aren't legally required to vote the way their state did, and I think its f****d up that you can win the popular vote and lose because of the Electoral College.

Judicial: Judges are not allowed to have political parties. They must be isolated from any world events not relevant to the cases at hand to ensure impartial judgement. They also have to have served before, have a law degree, and not be allowed to physically see the defenant/plaintiff to prevent bias. The epitome of justice is blind.

General: Amendments are always proposed by the people, no matter what. State laws are removed from the books IMMEDIATELY if a federal case deems them illegal. All prisons are government run, and must be checked regularly to insure that they are focused on rehabilitation, not punishment, and are HUMANE, SAFE, facilities for both the guard and inmates.

I've said it before and I've said it again, I should be in charge of planning the government of a country, because I am discriminated against in a variety of ways and want to prevent others from facing the same.

All US Prisons should be functional farms as well as a place of “actual rehabilitation”. Nonviolent Inmates especially should be given the responsibility of growing fruits and veggies as well as caring for animals either for consumption or even to help feed the homeless. Rather than depending on tax payers inmates need to contribute to their own incarceration and gain useful skills. Private Prisons are filthy rich for just being the adult version of timeout while we foot the bill.

Mutual, basic human respect. There is so much diversity on earth - of thought, of people - that it is impossible for everyone to be completely and utterly happy with all the different opinions. We shouldn't be aiming to make people have the same opinions as us, and think like us; we should be aiming for mutual respect and understanding. We need to understand that there is no single correct moral code or court of law. And we need to respect everyone, no matter how deeply we disagree with them. (This point, by the way, is in reference to general disagreements, not murder or something. Just for those people who are probably thinking that!)

How do we do this? Have spaces where people with diverse opinions, from different backgrounds, can have a voice. Spread the idea that there is no single right way to live life. Most of all, laern to listen. Have conversations.

Finally - if you don't agree with me, that's okay! Let's talk about it :)

I've had a few ideas. Some less sane than others but still have potential

The first one is that paths and roads have temperature monitors and heat up when it gets below a certain temperature to avoid Black Ice and allows pets that go for walks on freezing grounds to be more comfier. In my eyes although I've hardly done the maths, I think this would help cut down on the use and labour for applying Grit salt onto only major roads, it'd be quicker and it'd cause less accidents

While we're on the subject of roads, build a path over existing roads for bikes, automatic scooters and automatic bikes. Not motorbikes though, I think they'd be too heavy so maybe an underground version? I chose the over the road option because then we don't have to dig into the ground to waste time but also the bike path as I'd call it would shield the normal road from weather conditions mostly. Only snowstorms would be a problem and we have the above idea for that. This would help with the issue of Bikes constantly going between traffic, being caught up in accidents, being blamed for stuff even when they didn't do it and I think it'd just be a quality of life improvement. Obviously we can't do that on ever road but the major ones where busses and Lorries can travel would be a good area of coverage I think

A work system for people fresh out of prison or those who turn to crime just to get by. This is a huge reason why prisons are filling up rapidly because jobs can't support a living wage. Now sure the obvious answer is to make it so jobs pay a living wage but anyone who's actually worked a job knows that you can't reason with those deluded idiots. They're just too far gone. So what a lot of people do to end up working 40+ hours a week is to work two jobs. That's all well and fine but what about people with records or those who can't land jobs for some reason and have no where else to turn but to steal? So I propose the building of new power stations. Lots and lots of them. You offer on sight training and eventually with a bit of positive reinforcement you have a whole new range of people who are fully trained and can work them for a decent wage meaning they don't have to commit crimes to get by. Obviously those messed up enough to steal and kill still will still be sent to prison but for today, that's not the case for all inmates. And as a bonus this helps with the energy crisis too. We could even have a whole new workforce to help with council service jobs to replace the guys who keep destroying all our roads and bins and everything because they can't be bothered to do their job properly

While we're on the subject of jobs. Seriously you giant corporations. Pay. Your. Staff. You might find they actually start to stick around and stop wishing death on you. There is such a thing called Duty of Care, start following it. This is why no one likes you. While I'm here I'd also like to tell my doctor to pick up the phone. My Tendonitis is not going away and I'm still doing all the hard labour jobs for the shop I work at and I'm the one getting blamed for "not trying hard enough" when I've been trying to get ahold of you FOR OVER A YEAR. Yeah, thanks a lot for that one

Other small ideas. In my town we have only 1 zebra crossing lights play music for the blind. That needs to be in a lot more places. Like absolutely everywhere. Also people need to learn how to drive. It's a Zebra Crossing, not a street race

A separate lane for Busses that have to stop regularly or for emergency services would also be quite good but I do understand that is a lot of work and not entirely feasible in every road. But I think it should help with traffic a bit

And finally my ultimate dream idea that's not going to have a chance of being invented any time soon: An app on your phone that when you point it at something, it tells you all the best thing to do. Translations, basic first aid. Common sense. That could really help out when everyone has their faces in their phones all the

This applies only to india , but i'd like theopinionof people from all over the world on these, so, hereit goes:

Allow (mandatorily open )carry of Fixed blade knives below 6 inches in length. and carry of other survival items. Change airport laws accordingly so that everyone can create post plane crash survival kits. allow carry of a small ( not more than 3 inches in total length ) ceramic knife at all times. Allow carry of all types of folding knives ( except balisongs and switchblades ) provided total length is under 6 inches .

Make Bushcraft , survival, martial arts, and wilderness training mandatory in Schools.

severe punishment for sexual crimes and crimes towards nature and natural resources.

Presidential rule in West Bengal. Hindu-Muslim disparity is present almost everywhere in india, but nowhere will one hear of communal issues cascading to whatever the hell is going on in this particular state. my father lives and works in telangana. We are a Hindu family, we have Muslim friends, all 3 of us. Dad celebrated the breaking of Ramdan's fast with some of his employees, only he did not have beef like they did.
Basically, West Bengalhas such a high communal conflict issue because of 3 reasons - a pseudo-dictator of a Chief minister in the form of Mamata Banerjee ( found nowhere else in India ), fanatic Muslims ( found in quite a few places across India ), and an opposition represented almost completely by known conpeople.

BJP and Navin Pattnaik's political party should alternate between being the Central Ruling party and the Central Opposition. the other parties should go f*ck themselves into oblivion.

Allow carrying of knuckledusters, tasers, pepper spray and personal alarm devices.

Legalise use of sattelite phones, and personal GPS devices. However, they must be easily discoverable, as in, should make special sounds when the companion app is activated, so if they are being used to track someone without their consent, the latter can easily discover them. On that note, their import from other countries should be banned to ensure this precaution exists.

Many people already picked some good ones. Everyone minding their own business is a good one, and respecting people's privacy. Stop filming and shaming strangers at the gym, and especially don't capture anyone in the locker rooms. That's a place of expected privacy and it's illegal. But people do it.
One thing would definitely be nice is ending this thug mentality, where if someone asks someone to not smoke/vape/toke around them then the offender thinks it's some sort of disrespect that deserves ending their life. This just happened a couple weeks ago in Vancouver. A family was out somewhere, there was a guy vaping close to the kid. The dad asked the vaper to move. In front of his wife and kid the vaper killed the dad.
I really need to stop reading comments on news articles. People were almost defending the killer, saying it was the Dad's fault for being worried about his kid's health and asking someone to move. Some people were hung up on the Dad taking issue with vapes. A few were giving condolences and addressing how senseless it was. One guy said "Think next time before you tell a smoker to move." It's not the first time someone has been killed over menial stuff like that in Canada and it's gotta stop. These people are not as tough and badass as they think they are.

Stop militarizing the police! Give them more training in de-escalation methods. Have alternatives to cops to call for non-threatening situations, such as a naked loony running around the neighborhood at oh-dark-thirty. More funding for helping people with mental health issues, more affordable housing, more assistance for victims of domestic violence, and a livable minimum wage that automatically increases to keep pace with inflation - all those will take burdens off the shoulders of police so they can focus on catching burglars, armed robbers, rapists and kitten-kickers.
