1 | Companies charge huge fees to workers who migrate abroad for long-term contract jobs (as maids, construction workers, etc.). Instead, governments should arrange migration and contracts at low cost to let workers keep more of their meager incomes. | ||
2 | To reduce healthcare costs, companies that buy insurance for their employees could form a large buyers' union to bargain for cheaper prices from doctors and drug companies. | ||
3 | To strengthen an organization, plan enjoyable events for members. Build solidarity for tough tasks (negotiating, picketing) by cooperating on public service. You might clean up a beach and have a picnic afterwards. (unions, organizations, environment) | ||
4 | Declare a national day for a 1 dollar donation for people in need in or out of the country. | ||
5 | Accounting reform: Companies pay accountants now, which is a conflict of interest that has caused fraud. Instead companies should pay an accounting tax to government, which then hires accountants or uses civil servants, as for the FDA approving drugs. | ||
6 | To improve maritime safety, ships should register with a UN agency instead of individual countries, each with different laws. The agency would collect a small tax and inspect ships to impose a uniform safety standard. | ||
7 | Minimum wage for US-based companies' overseas operations: As of October 2006, US$.25/hour would be an improvement for many such. | ||
8 | In prison, use slavery as a punishment for crime. Teach prisoners something. People should benefit from prisoners, not support them. Sell items made by prisoners to earn money for governments. | ||
