A method for big profit, little effort

David built a glorious kingdom, it had everything. It lacks something critical, a method that will ensure that each generation progresses, including that the regime will exist. Part of the method is to arrange the method itself. In the monarchical system the problem starts if there is an unsuitable king, the whole kingdom collapses. Genghis Khan was a great leader, but he didn’t leave a system either, he left conquered territories. Sorting out the culture of the citizens is part of the method he lacked. In Germany, Hitler showed the world how to align an entire generation to the sick principles of government, preferably good principles.

Imagine a computer that was stuck with the DOS operating system. An operating system is like the government, if you don’t upgrade it, it’s stuck. Jefferson and Franklin left behind a system of government with a self-correcting mechanism but at the same time it was good enough that even without many changes it is good almost two hundred years later. Today it is beginning to feel that this US system also needs a major upgrade that they do not have a mechanism to implement.

This is the big secret in governments. That’s why there was no continuation of David and there was also a continuation of Jefferson. You have to leave a method behind, otherwise you leave “money”, and the new generation will “waste” it. It is not instinctive to constantly think about the method, because we want to promote ourselves or our ideas.

The Romans, the Turks, the English and us

Each time a different power came and played us for her own private interests.

Every few years they change, but today we have the oldest enemy of the people of Israel, the people of Israel itself.

We – the dynasty of King David (the united kingdom of Israel and Judah): ruled the area from around 1000 BC to 930 BC.

The divided kingdoms of Israel and Judah: 930 BC to 722 BC (Israel) and 586 BC (Judah).

Assyrians: conquered the kingdom of Israel in 722 BC.

The Babylonians: conquered the Kingdom of Judah in 586 BC.

Persians: ruled the region from 539 BC to 332 BC, after conquering Babylon.

Greek rule: 332 BC to 167 BC, including the Ptolemaic and Seleucid empires.

Hasmonean dynasty (Jewish independence): 167 BC to 63 BC.

The Romans: ruled the area from 63 BC to 324 AD.

Arabs (Islamic Caliphates): 7th century to 1516.

Turks (Ottoman Empire): 1516 to 1917.

British (Mandate Government): 1917 to 1948.

We are the rightists and we are the leftists: from 1948.

We control our destiny after three thousand years. Sit down and read the rest, it’s important.

The new Zionism

Herzl wanted a Jewish state, Jabotinsky fought for them to fight and Ben-Gurion established it. Now this is the continuation of Zionism, the “new Zionism” is a “new country”. We don’t need another country, we just need to upgrade the existing country, it’s easier.

They all treat the symptom and not the problem. The problem is unseparated authorities and the choice of parties and not Semitic elections. This. sit down

Everyone was created a “son of a king” according to Jabotinsky’s poem, but it is not enough to sing it, we must treat all residents as kings and make every act and every decision for the prosperity of the residents. Today this does not happen in Israel and almost nowhere in the world except the Nordic countries. Citizen prosperity is a measure that includes the health of the citizens and their satisfaction with life, and the standard of living is measured in money.

Israel seems to have the most talented people in the world, but this is not reflected in the standard of living and prosperity of the residents, something is not working as you would expect from such quality people. I lost the token when I was riding in an Uber with a Vietnamese taxi driver whose father was a senior officer in the South Vietnamese army and received sponsorship from the US. He had tears in his eyes even though he is in the US Army today and moved to the US thirty years ago. He passionately told me about Vietnam and why it reached the bottom, the motive was of course money and the takeover of the wealth of the rich south by the poor north, he said and it connected to me what is happening in Israel, when a regime does not protect the wealth of the people and their freedom but looks for ways to take it, things happen are very bad in the country, therefore it is important for the life of the country that the government protects the money of the people along with their freedom. Money is a form of freedom. The USA is built on exactly that with amazing laws to protect wealth and freedom. I am not talking about not taking taxes, but about protecting the property of the people. In the end, the government’s goal is to cause long-term prosperity for the residents and the environment, these are the parameters that should be maximized and measured! In the different countries it is easy to see that the system of government has the most influence on the prosperity of the residents. The government should concentrate only on what improves the lives of the citizens in the long term and concentrate only on that.

The logic should be very simple, see where in the world there is the most stable democracy, with the most years of experience and from there derive the desired system with our improvements. So where does such a method exist? in the USA. Any questions?

The freedom to understand – speak simply

If the citizen does not understand what the government is talking about, there is a problem with being truly free.

Using plain language in all areas of government, including the judiciary and other departments, is essential for various reasons. Simplifying the language promotes transparency, accessibility, understanding and efficiency, which in turn help foster trust, involvement and inclusion in a democratic society. By breaking down complex jargon and legal terminology, government can effectively communicate policies and decisions to the public, enabling them to make informed choices and participate more actively in civic affairs. Building a questioning system like chatgpt above the law is already really easy. Companies should also be forced to simply talk to customers. Completely eliminate the incomprehensible lowercase letters.

An example of the law presented in both a complex and a simplified version:

Complex version:

A person operating a wheeled vehicle, whether powered by a person or motorized, on a pedestrian thoroughfare, shall give the right of way to any pedestrian crossing this thoroughfare, and shall take reasonable precautions to avoid a collision with any pedestrian therein.

Simple version:

If you ride a bicycle, scooter or any other vehicle on a sidewalk, you must give way to people walking and do your best to avoid hitting them.

The complex version uses legal and technical language, which can be difficult for the average person to understand.The simplified version, on the other hand, conveys the same message using clear and distinct language, making it more accessible and easier to understand.

Complex version:

In the event of a tenant’s failure to comply with the agreed terms of a lease or legally binding lease, the landlord will provide the tenant with a written notice detailing the nature of the violation and the required corrective measures. The tenant will be given a reasonable period, not to exceed thirty days, within which to correct the aforementioned violation, or risk opening legal proceedings regarding the termination of the rental agreement and eviction from the premises.

Simple version:

If a tenant breaks the rules of their lease, the landlord must give them a written warning explaining what they did wrong and how to fix it. The tenant has up to 30 days to fix the problem or they could face legal action to end their lease and evict them from the property.

The complex version contains dense legal language and formal wording, which can make it challenging for many people to understand. In contrast, the simple version conveys the same essential information using clear and everyday language, which is more accessible and easier to understand for the majority of the population.

The problem of the party election model

Today there is a “model” who sells the party, and together with him you get a list of candidates that you didn’t really vote for and probably wouldn’t vote for, just look at people who entered the Israeli Knesset in recent years, I don’t want to insult them so I won’t say names. I also hope there will be a “model” problem and not just a “model”. You can see that in the USA, where candidates are chosen by name, that is, Semitic selection, for the Senate and Congress, although even if they represent a certain party, as soon as the selection method is direct selection, a party will not nominate unworthy people, because they know that the public will not choose them. You can see the Differences in the level of the members of Congress in the USA compared to the Knesset in Israel. There are few members of Congress and the Senate who are of a low level. The solution is simple, a direct election of every candidate for the Knesset, Prime Minister or House of Government.

Personal elections, where voters choose individual candidates instead of voting for a party list, have a number of huge advantages for electing the Prime Minister, the Government House and the Knesset. This completely changes the quality of elected officials. Although they will belong to a party, they will feel loyalty to the people who elected them and not to the party leader who put them on the list.

Focusing on personal skills and ideas, personal elections shift the emphasis from party affiliation to the candidates themselves, encouraging voters to value their skills, experience, and policy positions. This could promote a more issue-based and meritocratic electoral process.

The loyalists of the party leader do not enter automatically, which is a big deal, I don’t want to give names that have entered the Knesset in recent years as leaders, so as not to offend them, but the public would not elect them directly to the Knesset. Online and anonymous elections reduce the influence of political patronage and nepotism. This allows for a more meritocratic selection process, ensuring that only the most talented and deserving candidates rise to the top. The people scrutinize every representative who enters the Knesset, and not like today in Israel where the party determines who enters the Knesset.

Accountability When voters choose individual candidates instead of voting for a party, representatives are more accountable to their constituents. This could encourage them to be more responsive to local concerns and work harder to deliver on campaign promises.

Greater diversity of representation, personal elections can lead to a more diverse range of candidates to be elected, as they are not limited by party lists or ideologies. This could result in a more inclusive and representative Congress, with a wider range of perspectives and ideas.

Encouraging cross-party cooperation By de-emphasizing party loyalty, personal elections can foster a more cooperative and bipartisan atmosphere in Congress. Representatives may be more willing to work across party lines to find common ground and develop effective policy solutions.

Reducing the influence of party politics, personal elections can reduce the power of party leadership and reduce the influence of party agendas on policymaking. This can lead to a more independent and deliberative legislative process, where representatives are free to vote according to their conscience and according to the interests of their constituents.

Increasing local representation, in-person elections can strengthen the bond between representatives and their constituents, as candidates are more likely to have a deep understanding of local issues and concerns. This can lead to more targeted and effective policy solutions that respond to the specific needs of their communities.

Flywheel to prosperity

I drive a Tesla these days in Silicon Valley, we came here so that my children would have the advantage I got from the age of 10 to 12 when we lived in Silicon Valley, it gave me English and also to see how things are done perfectly and not stop at 70% like in Israel. I bought a Tesla to see if it was worth buying the stock, and when I sweated the first hundred meters I understood everything, it felt like the iPhone in 2009, several levels beyond what I knew. Tesla has software upgrades and with each such upgrade I notice that the car drives better on its own, it’s exactly a flywheel that Elon Musk built, the car improves every few months. It is impossible to understand Tesla without driving one. I rented it on the Turo app. I also tried Lucid, I saw that it was cumbersome and they did the exact opposite of Tesla, they complicated what the driver sees, in short I made a short on it just to play a little and recover the cost of travel for the whole family for a year. It did reimburse the cost of the trip.

This process works everywhere; try, get feedback, improve, try again and so on. Our brain works exactly like this in its processes, this is how we learn to follow an example.

In order for Israel and indeed any country to improve the lives of its citizens for many generations, the process must be continuous and never stop, the environment changes and the nature of the citizens therefore all government mechanisms must constantly undergo adjustments and trials.

There is a simple formula to develop systems and it is the spiral model.

In this model, which is called Flywheel in English, they are constantly upgrading and checking whether it improves the product or the service, the service of the government is the prosperity of the residents, there is a whole section on how to measure it easily.There is a legendary book on the flywheel method by Jim Collins.

Not only the services for the residents such as economy, health, environmental quality and education need their own FlyWheel, but above all the governance system needs a mechanism that constantly improves it and organizes it, and this is what I call the “house of government”.

If you say to yourself “Government is not a business company”, I think it is a mistake because improving a business company is just like improving governance and you can learn a lot from the processes of business companies about a good form of governance.

If Israel is guided in every field of government by constant improvement, receiving feedback, experience and then continuing the improvement, Israel will be the most enlightened country in the world with the prosperity of the inhabitants that has never been seen on the face of the earth. Our enemies around have only helped us to deteriorate and do not harm our possible prosperity.

make the right move

If you don’t have the strength to read everything, just take this: in the end we would like the government to simply do the right thing. This means that the government’s interest should be: the long-term prosperity of the residents and the environment – these are parameters that should be maximized and measured! One of the ways to achieve this is to separate the policeman, the government, from the judge, the Knesset. Otherwise the policeman who catches us also judges us. This is a clear conflict of interest, the government should be completely outside the Knesset.

There is no operational plan written here to change the situation, but only a beautiful possibility to create the bloc of freedom. Knowing what is right doesn’t help much if you don’t do the right thing!

One of the dangers to the continued deterioration of the regime in Israel and also in the United States is the deterioration of the average intelligence of the population, due to many reasons, but the main ones are the deterioration of the education system, lack of reading and staring at screens and videos.

The only way to reverse the trend is a revolution in the education system and arrangement of the government system in Israel. Intelligence is declining in the US according to this study .

A Jewish state

There is something misleading in saying let’s separate religion from state, but in the reality Israel is in it is impossible.

If we don’t become a Jewish state, we probably won’t. Our neighbors will not let us be a free country. The only defense is to make us a Jewish state.

In a restrictive universe like the US, you don’t need a definition of religion. In Israel, you need a definition of religion so that we continue to be a free nation.

Personally, even without the existential threat from our neighbor, I would think that it is better that we define a Jewish state, it unites us and gives us beautiful values for society and the individual. But even when I think about it freely with completely secular eyes, it is a necessary thing in the Israeli reality.

Assets, yes assets

The place where good people want to live is also the place where citizens thrive.

People want a place where their possessions feel safe.

A place like this brings good people, the USA and Switzerland were built on the principle of protecting people’s capital and they did do it better than any other country.

Israel also needs a legal system and laws that will protect the capital that people have accumulated.

Ease of doing business, little bureaucracy as well as a strong enforcement system.

A strong democratic regime with a system of laws that protects the capital of the residents will lead to the flourishing of the economy. Today the regime in Israel is loose and broken, it scares the capitalists.

Digging instead of lifting

The Bank of Israel has been publishing research on a digital shekel for years. Instead of picking up the digital shekel in a few months in beta mode, they discuss and discuss “what if?”. If they were used to working like in citizenship, they would have picked it up in a few months and seen how it works. This is an example of the entire administration and how it works. A general change needs to be made in the way the government operates in Israel and around the world in order to cause the prosperity of the citizens.

Leaders are not stupid, they just haven’t been exposed

Leaders may not take actions that seem logical, often because they have not been exposed to the logic or solution to a particular problem. It is difficult to fully understand their experiences or challenges. You can’t get inside the heads of the leaders.

For example, the question of why the Native Americans did not invent gunpowder is not a question of intelligence, but a matter of circumstances and exposure. The same concept applies to wondering why the Haitian community in Iran hasn’t embraced a free market economy – perhaps this understanding just hasn’t reached them. Additionally, they may not be looking for innovative solutions, which presents a bigger problem.

Another example is that the Israeli Ministry of Justice does not use a chatbot to help citizens navigate Israeli law by answering questions. It is not that they are opposed to the idea, but that this innovation has not reached them. Furthermore, the decision makers in this organization may not be actively exploring inventions that could greatly improve the lives of citizens.

Of course, the worst case scenario is that the leaders know exactly what the right path is, but choose the interests of the citizens, not the citizens.

the prosperity of the citizens

The government’s role is to give the citizens the ground to flourish and prosper, but not to interfere excessively, the balance here is critical.

In order to characterize the initial method, we need to understand the goal we are aiming for. The goal is to cause the prosperity of the citizens and it is composed of two variables:

Citizens’ health – an easy to calculate index – weight, number of visits to doctors.

Citizens’ satisfaction with life in Israel – an easy measure to check by questioning.

This index can only be achieved through a national application that will consolidate all services and communication between the government and citizens – to be developed by the Digital Ministry .

In different countries in the world it is easy to see that a good governance system is the most influential factor in the prosperity of the residents.

An operating system for computers is like an example of how the government system should operate in the lives of its citizens, computers will not work well without urgent upgrades to their operating system, in exactly the same way the government system needs frequent upgrades – but in practice does not receive these updates because there is no body responsible for these updates.

The computers do not update themselves, but receive updates from Microsoft or Apple. This is exactly how the governance system should receive an update, but not from the governing body but from an external party. This external party will be called – the House of Government/Supreme House.

The source of the hostility to the USA

The USA was and still is Israel’s most important partner on earth.

The source of the enmity towards the USA in some parts of the world stems from the fact that it is rich and successful, with rich and successful people who draw fire to them. The history of the world shows that when the “poor” part of the people comes to power over the elite, the country deteriorates. But the USA is still the leader of the freedom bloc in the world.

A new body in the regime, the Government House

The Government House is in charge of the election system and questions relating to the elections.

The government cannot fix itself, this is the nature of public and private bodies (and human beings too). That is why a new institution is needed that will be trusted to change the structure of the government and the elections, assimilating new technologies and adapting the structure to the new reality that is constantly changing!

The role of the House of Government is to maintain Jewish democracy and to adapt the system of government and elections to the changing reality, to correct defects and to optimize processes by 24 members (or any other reasonable number) who are among the wisest and most honest of the people.

The government house deals with the organizational structure and not with decisions and among its functions to cancel or add offices such as the Ministry of Consumerism or the Ministry of Destinations.

People, companies and countries need to adapt to the changing reality in order to be successful. (As Jim Collins wrote in his book Built Forever). The Government House was designed for exactly this – so that the system (the government’s operating system) would be up-to-date and provide a good infrastructure for running the country.

Threshold conditions of education and experience for election to the House of Government: a person who has not been associated with a party in the past (was not in the government or the Knesset) with additional threshold conditions such as a minimum age of 40, former district judges, former sub-champions, a PhD from recognized universities, a certain level of Torah education and provided that they have gained At least 10 years of experience in the field.

The Government House will appoint 24 elected officials, who will be elected by the people in secret democratic elections. Each elected member will hold office for six years.

The elections for the elected members of the House of Government will be held every two years and in each such round 8 elected members will be nominated for re-election. The reason for this is that there will always be some members of the government house with experience and not all of them will be replaced at the same time; So every two years a third of the elected are replaced.

Examples of the Government House role:

• Adding or canceling a government office will be considered a change of government and will require the approval of the elected representatives of the Government House.
• Control over the functioning of the House of Representatives (Knesset).
• Inspection of non-enforcement of laws – if there is a law that is not enforced – cancel it or enforce it.
• Digital elections.

Knesset only legislates and not governs

The Knesset is Israel’s legislative authority, the House of Representatives. It is served by 120 members, who were elected in secret democratic elections, in a separate process from the elections for the presidency of the country and the elections for the government house.

Membership in the House of Representatives will be limited to four terms of sixteen years in addition to the threshold conditions.

Government – separate from the Knesset and establish an executive authority

The government consists of ministers and a president, it is subordinate to the Knesset and is responsible for managing all branches of the executive authority.

The position of the prime minister in Israel will be combined with the position of the president of the country, as is customary in the US system of government, and he will be limited to two terms for his entire life.

The ministers are elected and appointed by the incumbent president only, with the approval of the Government House. The ministers will have a professional background relevant to the government ministry they are entrusted with and they will meet the threshold conditions established by the Government House.

A person who served as a minister will not be allowed to serve as a member of the House of Government or the House of Representatives.

The separation between governor and legislator was made clear in Herzl Altneuland’s book: “The salaried positions are filled solely on the basis of the professional qualifications of candidates. Partisan businessmen, regardless of party, encounter healthy prejudices, from the whole public. Active officials are forbidden to participate in public debates at all.’

Judiciary

Judicial powers in Israel are vested in the judiciary. The judiciary consists of the court system in Israel, headed by the Supreme Court and the courts. There are three courts in the court system: the Supreme Court, the District Courts and the Magistrate’s Courts. The independence of the judiciary is guaranteed against the interference of the legislative and executive authorities.

Online elections only

In the votes, it’s not that there is some conspiracy, the governors simply believe nonsense about confidentiality and security, when people transfer billions of shekels a year on the Internet. It’s very funny.

When a senior IT person told me that it’s dangerous to do online voting because of fakes I understood why it hasn’t been done since decades ago, a casual fear of the unknown. After all, billions of NIS are transferred every day without forgeries. It is clear that this is also possible for online voting.

I transferred an amount of one million shekels with the push of a button and signed agreements worth hundreds of millions of shekels when I was CEO of Plus500, with the push of a button and all these systems gave me absolute security much more than a fax or a phone call. Even the average person today signs a mortgage digitally, these are decisions that feel more fateful to us on a personal level than choices.So it is clear that there is no obstacle to online elections.

All elections will be managed digitally by the election committee appointed by the Government House.

Once every four years, a president of Israel is elected in digital Jewish elections. The president appoints the professional ministers of the government who are not members of the Knesset or members of the cabinet.

Once every two years, 8 new members are elected to the government house and they are also in digital elections. And once every two years, 60 representatives are elected to the House of Representatives in digital elections.

Advantages of online and blind elections for a particular person:

Online and anonymous elections can provide many benefits to society as a whole. Here are some examples that illustrate the benefits of such a system:

Ease of voting for citizens: Online voting allows people to vote from the comfort of their home or workplace, eliminating the need to travel to the polling station. This is especially helpful for people with mobility issues or people living in remote areas.

Low Budget for Elections: Online voting reduces the need for physical infrastructure such as polling stations, ballot boxes and voting booths. This leads to significant cost savings, freeing up resources that can be allocated to other important areas, such as education or health.

No Day Off: Since people can vote online at their convenience, there is no need for a public holiday to facilitate voting. This means that businesses and schools can continue to operate, minimizing disruptions to the economy and daily life.

Reducing the possibility of fraud: Online voting systems can use advanced security measures, such as blockchain technology, to ensure that votes are secure and protected from tampering.

No invalid ballots: In online elections, there is less risk of invalid votes due to human error, such as incorrect ballots or stray marks.

High turnout: The convenience of online voting can encourage higher voter participation, as people are more likely to vote when it’s easy and accessible.

Option for Israelis to vote abroad: online voting allows citizens living abroad to participate in elections in their home country without the need to travel back. This can lead to greater political involvement and representation for these people.

Immediate results: with online voting, the results can be marked and announced almost immediately after the polls close, eliminating the delays associated with manual vote counting.

Possibility of referendums easily: the online voting platforms make it easier to hold referendums on important issues. This allows for a more direct democracy, as citizens can have a more immediate say in policy decisions that affect their lives.

Online and in-person elections provide many benefits, including increased convenience, reduced costs, higher voter turnout and improved security. When I try to think of disadvantages I can’t find a single disadvantage.

Who decides the big questions?

In the major decisions that affect life and the structure of government in Israel, the laws must be passed by a special majority in the Knesset and the Government House

Like the question of whether to admit refugees to Israel?

Changes in the courts?

These questions should not be determined in the High Court.

Constitution to protect us from ourselves

Every nation, including Israel, needs a constitution for several reasons, such as preserving freedom and personal liberty. An example of this protection would be ensuring that individuals have the right to freedom of speech and expression. Another reason is the cultivation of cohesion between citizens, which can be achieved by establishing a common set of values and principles that everyone can abide by.

Furthermore, a constitution can help resolve disputes by providing a framework for conflict resolution. For example, if there is a dispute between two parties regarding property rights, the constitution can outline the appropriate legal channels for resolving the issue. In addition, constitutions serve as the basis for a country’s legal system, and guide the courts in their decision-making processes.

Some essential principles of the constitution, such as that of Israel, include recognition of the nation as a Jewish, democratic and presidential state. This ensures the preservation of the country’s unique cultural identity while preserving democratic values.

Another essential principle is the allowance for constitutional amendments, since developing societies and systems must adapt accordingly. For example, the United States has amended its constitution 27 times to address various social, political, and economic issues.

A constitution should also clearly define the scope of a person’s freedom and liberty, as well as the circumstances under which these rights can be limited. For example, freedom of expression may be limited in cases where it incites violence or poses a threat to national security.

Finally, the separation of powers is a crucial aspect of a constitution. This means a division of powers between the legislative branch (e.g., the House of Representatives), the executive branch (e.g., the president and the government they appoint), and the judicial branch (e.g., the court system). This separation helps prevent the concentration of power in any one branch and maintains a system of checks and balances.

Advantages of a presidential system in Israel

The method will treat the problem and not the symptom. Treatment of the problem is required once and it prevents the return of the symptoms. An example of a symptom : Mandelblit is portrayed as a true man, above average. Ilana Dayan gave an eye-opening interview. Mandelblit rightly says “I follow the law and the law said to file an indictment”. Bibi naturally says “I didn’t do it.” I am innocent”. His full right. Both are right! And of course it is not right to judge Binyamin Netanyahu without a trial and Mandelblit for complying with the law and his interpretation of the law. But what is the root of the problem? And that’s what everyone misses,

What is important is the prosperity of the citizens, not the private justice of Benjamin or Mandelblit. For the sake of the prosperity of the citizens, it is forbidden for 7 years to deal with something that interests me as a citizen – it will not affect the education of our children or the money we earn or our level of health. For the prosperity of the citizens, an external party [Government House – New Authority] is needed to intervene when there are bugs in the government system. The problem is not in the application, the problem is in the “operating system”! It’s just like my children fighting in the living room – there’s nothing to start investigating who is to blame and who and what – I have no interest in that – my problem is that they fight in the living room.If so, the long-term solution in order to treat the problem and not the symptom is not to investigate incumbent prime ministers, these are simply to limit the term of office of prime minister to 2 terms. I prefer a prime minister who is not bothered and who takes care of us citizens. Just like you don’t want your surgeon [not us] to operate on you with a mosquito in his eye. A government house would solve it quickly and permanently. Solutions of this type should always enter into force in the future and apply to those coming into the administration and not to the incumbents in order to avoid a conflict of interest.

A continuous period of founders – in the USA, the work of the founders of Washington, Jefferson, Adams to assimilate the system created the united American empire that has been working for over 200 years. In the proposed system there is a continuous “founders’ period” with a body that, just like the founders of the USA, is entrusted with updating the system. Today we need a new operating system and not just an upgrade. We need a stable government for 4 years.

A good governance system makes people enjoy the work of government for their benefit. The state should be seen as a business company that needs a big change before it goes bankrupt, and this is exactly the proposed new method. How will the method work:

• Presidential system of government – a president who is elected and appoints the ministers who are obliged to be professionals in their field.
• Changing the electoral system – elections for the president and the legislature
• House of Government – an upper house that is responsible for auditing and improving the government
• Separation of authorities – thanks to the separation of authorities, conflicting interests will be eliminated. Such separation in general works very well in the military, in software development and more. It shows where the problems are and makes it possible to upgrade part of the system without damaging the whole system
• Governmental success index – a numerical index that will be published every month and will include data on the prosperity of the citizens and the state. Leaders will be tested on the results of the prosperity index at the end of their term. And this will make them think long-term (like CEOs who are tested on profit). This index can only be achieved through a national application that will consolidate all services and communication between the government and citizens – to be developed by the Digital Ministry .
• Research and development – should be done by a politically independent body. (Such as the courts that are not politically independent.) The research should not only be theoretical but also practical through experiments on settlements before implementing the method nationwide. The only measure of success should be the measure of residents’ prosperity.

With a correct governance system, the future of the country does not depend on one leader or another, because the system can be changed by the administration like in the air force – there is a system that works for creating pilots and the system is constantly being updated and changed.

And the index can bring leaders with a 5-star rating.

A large budget that will be directed to the development, research and upgrading of the governance system. Despite the tremendous impact that such research and development can have, today it has 0 budget. Of course, the research should be done by a politically independent body. (Such as the courts that are not politically independent.) The research should not only be theoretical but also practical and supported by experimentation and learning lessons before implementing the method nationwide. The only measure of success should be the measure of residents’ prosperity.

Five star leaders

Numerical index As mentioned earlier, leaders will be tested on the results of the prosperity index at the end of their term.

Threshold conditions for presenting a candidacy for president: studies, business successes, managerial experience.

The higher the intellectual quality of the voters, the higher the quality of the elected. You see it at the conference for the selection of judges, in squadrons and in places where the voters themselves have passed a filter. In addition, education in schools on how to choose a good leader and what is the measure of prosperity.

What is the average profit?

The next principle is important and critical in proper governance, and is the “principle of the average profit for citizens”. If 50% suffer 10 units and 50% earn 20 units – the people average profit of 10 units, always look at the average profit to increase the prosperity of the residents. It is important to look at the average profit because there is no law that there are no losers.

If we consider whether to allow an air ATV to fly over settlements, the person on the ATV enjoys it for sure, but it causes noise and inconvenience to let’s say 500 residents who are affected by the nuisance. A simple conclusion here is not to allow an air quad to fly at all over or near settlements and also not on the beach, it’s all a profit average.

We’ll check if it’s worth following ex-criminals a few years after they’ve been released from prison?

A public of 8 million people, let’s say, will benefit from less crimes, and let’s say 10,000 criminals will feel uneasy because their privacy has been violated, the average profit per citizen here is extremely high.

Israel is free – “The Freedom Bloc”

To unite the majority of the people in the “freedom” camp as long as it is possible: the percentage of voters in favor of the free bloc is different from the percentages in the population as a whole.

The numbers in 2023 are: secular 44% Shabbat observant 24% ultra-Orthodox 13% Arabs 20% Let’s assume that 80% of the secular, 50% of the Shabbat observant, 30% of the Arabs, 15% of the ultra-Orthodox can be added to the freedom bloc. – This gives 54% in the best case to move Israel to the protection of the minority and a free Israel. Start with the first step – unite. One leader of the “Freedom” bloc. Without unification of the “Freedom Bloc” it will be very difficult to protect the ultra-Orthodox from themselves and in general from the minority groups themselves. The actions of the minority groups harm them in the long run.

During the Cold War period that lasted from 1945 to 1991, the term “free world” was generally used to refer to the Western bloc and its associated countries. The term had a broader connotation, encompassing all liberal democracies, as opposed to authoritarian regimes such as communist countries. The countries aligned to the West, including the United States, the European Union, and NATO, were the main subjects of the term. The phrase “leader of the free world” was often used to suggest symbolic and ethical leadership, especially during the Cold War, with the President of the United States serving as the point of reference.

A constitutional mechanism that protects Israeli democracy. The problem in Israel is not only in the legal system, the problem is also in the education system and the health system and the truth is in most systems of the economy. Wherever I look, I see neglect and it hurts because it’s getting worse, not getting better. . As Israelis we are looking for the culprit and magic solutions, but the culprit is not a human being, neither the leftists nor the rightists, neither the Arabs nor the ultra-Orthodox. The culprit is a system of government. This. In similar situations in the world, the first to escape such a deterioration are the leaders of the economy, and it starts with us too – it’s not noise, it’s an important signal.

It is very strange that governments invest billions of dollars in physics experiments, medical research infrastructures, and the like, but there is almost no budget for research into an ideal governance method, which directly and more broadly affects the lives of residents than new technology in the field of health or the construction of a new road.

Imagine you had to run your house but with your worst enemies by your side all day.

This is how the Knesset operates today, it engages in a game of survival that includes votes of no confidence, the retirement of an MK, the threat of small parties to withdraw and does not manage the economy 100% as the citizens would like. The result of a good governance system is the selection of quality leaders and leadership (such as a 5-star rating): who are willing to change their opinion when there are new facts, flexible in their thinking and think like scientists (according to facts and information and not according to emotion), as well as leaders who actually do what they promise. . Today the average level of those in power is very low (a rating of only 2 stars).

The “management method” and the “management” must be changed with a brave step, as they say – and one hour earlier is fine. From the day it was founded until today, Israel is in a chronic state of emergency according to the government authorities, many inappropriate actions have been carried out since 1948 until today and they did not see fit to correct this situation – this says Darshani.

It is advisable to read the bias “I’m big and I’m beautiful because otherwise I wouldn’t be on stage” or by its short name “I’m on stage” to understand what a good governance system should prevent.

What does a governance system look like?

The digital office – the most important office in the world

The office’s role is to optimize digital services for citizens.

The Digital Ministry manages the government company Rafa’el. It is just like Rafa’el only in the digital field – the Digital Means Development Authority. Rafa’el contributed to the security of the country and in exactly the same way the Digital Ministry will contribute to the optimization of all processes in the country. Today there is a huge gap in digitization between the private world and the public world (Online services: apps, websites, online payments, filling out documents, requests, etc.). Every person has a mobile phone, something that was not the case in the computer age, so there is an easy way to optimize all the state’s activities and that is through full digitalization of the entire economy.

The addition of a digital office will change the way decisions are made – decisions based on emotion and politics will be abandoned in favor of decisions based on data.

Hello “The National App”

Developing a national application can significantly improve the relationship between the government and its citizens. By centralizing various services and functions, governments can streamline processes, increase efficiency and improve overall citizen satisfaction. Here are some examples from around the world:

Estonia: The small Baltic nation of Estonia has implemented a highly successful e-government system known as e-Estonia. This system includes a secure digital identity card, which allows citizens to access various government services, such as voting, filing taxes and accessing health records, all through a single platform.

Singapore: The city-state of Singapore has developed the SingPass mobile app, which allows citizens to access more than 1,000 government services through a single, secure login. Using SingPass, citizens can easily communicate with government agencies, participate in local and national votes and conduct various personal and business transactions.

India: India’s Aadhaar program provides unique identification numbers to all its residents. Aadhaar serves as a digital identity platform, enabling citizens to access government services, open bank accounts and receive subsidies. The platform simplifies processes such as tax filing and welfare distribution, which leads to a more efficient and transparent system.

Using these examples as inspiration, a national application could offer the following features:

Unified National Identification: A single identification system, such as Estonia’s digital identity card or India’s Aadhaar, that authenticates citizens or businesses with various government services.

Improved communication: A platform similar to Singapore’s SingPass app that enables seamless communication between citizens and government agencies.

Voting and Referendums: Local and national votes, as well as referendums, can be conducted securely and efficiently using the national app.

Tax reporting and filing: The application can enable easy and secure income tax reporting and filing, streamlining the process for citizens and the government.

Citizen Prosperity Index: The national app can collect data for surveys and other metrics, helping the government assess and improve citizens’ well-being.

Payments: The app can facilitate safe and efficient payments between the government and citizens, including subsidies, tax refunds and other transactions.

A union of all Jews in the world

Allow Jews outside of Israel to be in the national application under “non-resident Jew”. allow them to vote on certain issues. This possibility will result in the unification of all Jews in the world. This strengthens Israel’s direct connection to the Diaspora, will cause an increase as well as a direct connection between all Jews in the world. Israel will also know how many Jews there are in every country in the world, if necessary we can activate them.

Such an application has enormous power when it comes from a state and not a private company.

Of course, the state does not need to develop such an application, but issue a permit for tender.

The digital office is the superman of the government

The Digital Ministry, an independent government body similar to the Ministry of Defense, in that it provides service to all ministries, should be responsible for the digitization of all government institutions, an area in which they are currently behind.The firm must be led by a CEO with proven experience from the successful software companies in the economy.

The activities of the digital office should include managing government projects both by themselves and through outsourcing, as well as cooperation with commercial companies in office projects. For example, banks can connect to a national identification system, saving resources when opening new accounts. This cooperation will build an infrastructure that allows commercial companies to connect to the national electronic commerce system and offer services to businesses and citizens.

Emphasis must be placed on preserving and sharing information to foster trust between the leadership and citizens. Also, the ministry must strive for excellence in service, measuring performance and citizen satisfaction through simple and user-friendly surveys. After each project, a follow-up report must be drawn up with suggestions for improvement and optimization. Lessons must be learned from successes, mistakes and global practices to ensure continuous improvement.

The Digital Ministry will recruit software professionals and product managers to oversee the digitization of all government institutions, such as National Insurance, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Transportation (websites, applications, digital documents). This approach will help in solving the issue of recruiting suitable software and product managers for the public sector.

Every government office should have a code manager and a digital team focused solely on the employees of the office. Although the digital office will build the technological systems, each office should maintain a certain autonomy in matters of expansion and management. For example, the Ministry of Housing may hire programmers and graphic designers to develop an online system for buying and selling plots of land based on the infrastructure of the digital office, when a team from the digital office is stationed at the Ministry of Housing to operate the system.

It would be beneficial to unify the infrastructures of all economic systems into a national system, as they share many similarities, such as identification, payment clearing, databases, customer service, maps, user interfaces, alerts, management sites, calculators, procurement, measurements and statistics. By digitizing all sectors of the economy and preventing individual ministries from doing it alone, the public sector can be streamlined more effectively.

How to build the digital office

To build a new section of the government known as the Digital Office, it is essential to start by appointing an experienced and knowledgeable CEO who is able to assemble an exceptional team. This leader’s ability to bring the right people together will be a decisive factor in the success of the new office. To ensure a high caliber of employees, it is essential to establish performance indicators and evaluate them based on their ability to meet or exceed failure and success metrics.

To generate enthusiasm and support for this new division, it should be branded as a national project. This approach will encourage young talent to join the ranks of the digital ministry by providing service opportunities to those currently seeking military enlistment. By emphasizing the importance of this initiative, the government can attract an infused and skilled workforce.

In addition to these strategies, it is essential to establish competitive compensation packages that reflect the standards in the high-tech market. By offering salaries comparable to those in the private sector, the government can ensure it attracts and retains the best talent available for the digital office, ultimately contributing to the success of this new sector of government.

make the government offices evil animals

The digital ministry will improve each government sector by developing customized features through a national application or separate applications for the various ministries. Just as computers will streamline business, the digital office should streamline government. This is how the digital office will improve the following areas:

Education: The digital office will measure satisfaction in order to constantly improve the system. It will enable notifications to parents, enable approvals for travel and vaccinations, and streamline complaints and emergency care.

Health: The Ministry will upgrade the digital system of the Ministry of Health in cooperation with the health funds, and will ensure better accessibility and management of the health services.

National identification: The digital office will create a comprehensive identification system that enables fast, easy and safe identification through facial recognition, fingerprint scanning or voice recognition.

Economy: through the digitization of economic processes, the digital office will improve efficiency and create a more accessible and transparent system for citizens.

Digital currency: The ministry will develop a digital shekel infrastructure, paving the way for a safer and more convenient monetary system.

Environmental quality: through the digital office, better monitoring and management of environmental data will lead to more informed decision-making and the improvement of environmental policy.

Legal: The digital office will facilitate online management of laws and evidence. A system similar to Chatbot GPT can be used to answer queries about rules and regulations.

Welfare and equality: the ministry will implement digital solutions to improve social services and promote equal access to opportunities and resources.

Internal security: The digital office will improve internal security through better coordination between the agencies and more effective data sharing and analysis.

Local authorities: through the digitization of processes, the office will enable local authorities to offer improved services, improve communication with citizens and make more informed decisions.

Housing: The digital office will streamline the housing sector by providing online platforms for buying and selling plots of land and improving accessibility to information and services related to housing.

General principles for a successful governance system

• The tendency at the political and private level is to maximize money, but this is a mistake. At the state level, the residents’ prosperity index should be maximized, which includes residents’ health, their satisfaction with life, personal security, and more.
• Order – the new system needs order to function. “32 members of the Knesset voted in favor. 21 voted against. One abstained. The fundamental law of human dignity and freedom was accepted” – it is quite clear that such an important law that only a few members of the Knesset vote for shows disorder in the Israeli government system.
• Allow evolution of the governance system – a considerable part of the problems in Israel originate from a governance system that does not correspond to reality.”The weakness of the system of checks and balances in Israel is manifested when the legislative authority is made up of one house, the Knesset, without a second house (like the Senate in the USA and the House of Lords in England) that can balance and restrain the first house,” wrote Yitzhak Zamir in his book “The Supreme Court” In order to allow evolution of the governance system, we must first understand that a mechanism for changing the system must be decided upon that keeps the country democratic but still tries to find the most suitable system.
• Separating the structure from the government – in every development of complex systems there is a separation..
• – Decisions based on facts and current information – Israel can be made a model for its citizens and an example for other nations only by changing the system of government: changing the structure of government and the election system.
• Arrange! Arrange! Arrange! You must not compromise on a mediocre state – only reaching the perfect one will be enough, and investing a lot of energy and strength in managing the order and the visibility and behavior of the citizens. The difference between the USA and the Nordic countries and Israel is not in the wisdom of the people, but only in the order of government and the order of processes in general.
• The discussions and debates that will be required to arrive at the correct governance system should be scientific (based on facts) and not emotional.
• To copy the best decision-making mechanisms from the world’s most successful companies such as Tesla or Google into the government system. There is no reason why government should not be as efficient as companies.
• Companies are measured in money and the government will be measured in the prosperity of the citizens.
• Long-term planning and thinking – the method should encourage long-term thinking because only in this way is it possible to really bring about real prosperity and change that will be maintained for a long time. The pressures around us always push us to think short-term and about the specific problem that is currently in front of us. For example: “Increase teachers’ salaries because they are on strike.” However, the problem is not the teachers, but the education system and its leadership. Most of the time, the treatment should be long-term and appropriate to the overall problem, that is, through a total change in the way education is managed and in the budget of the education system, and not just through a one-off salary increase. Usually the things that improve the long term harm the short term and this is the great difficulty for a government that wants to think long term to function in the current system. For example, a law that will limit the sale of cigarettes only in special stores. Many smokers will be harmed in the short term but in the long term the whole nation will benefit. In the short term there will usually be casualties but in the long term all or the majority will benefit.
• At the end of the day, the system is supposed to raise the leaders to a “5-star rating”, where decisions are made for the good of the country and not for their personal benefit. Companies, schools, the military, non-profits, hospitals and everywhere else need leaders with a “5-star rating”.
• Citizens with a basic education for the value – “It would be much better for everyone if everyone cared a little for the others” – the value should be strongly rooted by legislation and education for all citizens of the country regardless of religion or nationality. It is a universal law that has worked in history and will work in the future.
• In elementary schools it is important to teach about the system of governance in Israel.
• A method that allows a sharp and fast solution! The system in Israel today prevents sharp and quick solutions, even though sometimes they are the only good way. And yet, why not? Because we need a majority in the night of parties.
• If working in the public sector would be a “badge of honor” it would be easier to recruit good people and not just through high wages.
• To this day regimes have changed the system of government only after extreme events – USA (war with England), Japan, Germany (World War), Israel (Holocaust). , but did not continue to change over time! And this is the problem with regimes – the structure and the election system do not change, because there is no objective body that dictates the change to them – here it is mandatory to establish such an important body as an example – the Government House.
• It is important to agree that the method needs to be changed and not necessarily to agree on what the method will be – this is a self-evident claim.
• Right or left, conservatism or liberalism is irrelevant. Every issue needs a solution based on data and a long-term vision. As much as possible to be based on common sense in sharing information, but for this you need a “5 star” level leader.
• In Israel there was a half-attempt to change the electoral system, but not to change the government system.

In your book it is already written “in the land of crime there are many ministers”

As in commercial companies with few vice-presidents, also in a progressive regime, ministers should be chosen from a professional motive and not to satisfy a certain group.

The governments at the time of the Bible were small:

In King Saul’s government there was only one minister – the minister of the army (1 Samuel 1450).

In King David’s government there were 8 ministers (Samuel 2:23-26).

King Solomon’s government had 11 ministers (1 Kings 42-6).

In the government of Ahasuerus, king of Persia and governor from India to Kush over 127 countries, there were only 7 ministers (Esther 114).

internal affairs

The activity of the Ministry of the Interior is very important to the efficiency of the work of the economy, and the ministry should constantly improve its mechanisms, receive feedback on what works and what doesn’t, and invest in what works.

It is possible to make a huge change in the activities of the office, by investing energy in smart immigration , in a national identification system, in convenient business licensing and giving power and bonuses to local authorities! History shows that smart immigration can change the face of the country – people with different qualities and opinions come to the country and develop it, as did immigrants in the US, among them Elon Musk who came from South Africa and the founders of Google who came from Russia. If this seems strange to you, you can compare it to reinforcements who arrive From abroad to soccer and basketball teams in Israel and becoming citizens there.

Key changes in internal affairs

• Digitalization – full digitalization of the Ministry of the Interior with the aim of understanding how much it costs (in time and money) to receive a specific service from the Ministry of the Interior such as starting a business, applying for a work permit, etc.
• Cancellation of all physical documents – driver’s license, identity card, etc.
• Managing a national identification system – this will improve competition between banks because it will be easy for private individuals to open new bank accounts and identify themselves with businesses and the state.
• Business licensing – according to the accepted method today, you get a license and only then start operating the business. The desired method is to trust the business owners who meet all the license conditions and let them operate, but if they do not meet the license conditions – close the business and impose heavy penalties. It is suggested to do so only for businesses that are not very large and their opening does not endanger civilian lives.In conclusion: allow businesses to start working immediately and enforce the law and punish according to it if necessary.
• Local authorities – measuring and receiving budgets according to the well being of the residents. Each local authority has its own affairs, therefore it is important to give it great power and governance in local issues such as fines, inspectors and property taxes.

Smart immigration to Israel

• People are afraid of immigrants, but history shows that wonderful things happen to the country on all levels if smart and good immigration is aimed at.
• Good immigrants built the most advanced countries in the world including the USA, Canada and New Zealand, and from this fact we can learn a lot. Immigrants build the USA and contribute to it to an unbelievable extent.
• Smart immigration – opening the option of immigrating to Israel for people who are necessary for the development of the country, especially for immigrants with a bachelor’s degree in practical professions.
• A smart immigration threshold for those with necessary professions such as doctors, engineers, researchers, teachers and investors.
• As Herzl wrote about immigration in his book Altneuland “Those who join us at a relatively late stage do not impoverish the country, but rather enrich it. The more workers come here, the more bread will be found here, provided the social order is as just as ours.’

Free trial and justice

Who needs a trial?

The meaning of justice in all aspects of life on earth has been recognized since ancient times. Reflection on the legal system and the improvements that can be brought about in it, thanks to the intellectual, legal and technological progress we have achieved today, is essential. Justice not only deters crime but also ensures a correct evaluation of evidence and fair treatment of the accused.

The judicial system is one of the most crucial systems in any country, playing a vital role in various industries. As Nelson Mandela once said, “To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity.” Justice affects our inner security as well as our personal, economic and health aspects, touching almost every area of our lives.

By upholding the law and ensuring fairness in relationships between people, the legal system encourages people to adhere to the rule of law. Martin Luther King Jr. emphasized this and stated: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” The innate human tendency is to confront and engage in conflict; However, when there is a well-functioning intellectual body to resolve disputes, it inherently reduces violence and self-righteousness in society.

Mahatma Gandhi believed in the power of non-violence and emphasized the importance of justice, saying: “An eye for an eye only makes the whole world blind.” As such, it is essential for society to recognize the value of a fair and equitable legal system that can adapt to the changing needs of the times while maintaining the basic principles of fairness and human rights.

Annoying slowness

The legal system is slow to adapt to the pace of technological change. Trials have traditionally been held in person, with witnesses testifying in court and juries deliberating in person. However, the rise of the Internet and video conferencing has made it possible to conduct trials online, with witnesses testifying remotely and jurors deliberating online.

Online trials have several advantages over traditional trials. They are more efficient, as they can be conducted without the need for everyone to travel to a central location. They are also more convenient, as they can be conducted at any time of the day or night. And they are more accessible, as they can be run by people living in remote areas or with disabilities.

However, there are also some challenges associated with online trials. They can be less personal, as it can be difficult to build rapport with witnesses and jurors when they are not in the same room. They can also be less secure, as there is a risk of hacking or other disruptions.

Despite the challenges, online trials are the future of the legal system. They are more efficient, convenient and accessible than traditional experiments. And they are the best way to ensure that justice is done in a timely and fair manner.

Here are some examples of how online experiments are used in different parts of the world:

* In the United States, the state of Arizona has been conducting online trials since 2011. The state reported that online trials saved money and time, and that they were just as effective as traditional trials.

* In the UK, the Ministry of Justice has been experimenting with online trials since 2015. The ministry reported that online trials have been welcomed by participants, and that they have the potential to save money and time.

* In Australia, the state of New South Wales has been conducting online trials since 2017. The state reported that online trials were successful in reducing the time required to resolve cases, and that they were well received by participants.

The use of online trials is still in its early stages, but it is clear that they have the potential to revolutionize the legal system. They are more efficient, convenient and accessible than traditional experiments. And they are the best way to ensure that justice is done in a timely and fair manner.

How to build a justice system

The judicial system causes the prosperity of the citizens [that’s us] therefore it is a critical factor in good governance. The prosperity of the residents is everything that causes a citizen to be satisfied with life, among other things to leave the house and see green, hope is a significant part of prosperity. Before “touching” it, the legal system needs one parameter that everyone knows and to improve it – in my opinion “average time of the trial” and in addition “the parties’ satisfaction with the results of the trial or settlement”. If there is no parameter for improvement then everyone gambles and lives from emotions and media reports like the old economy and not as desirable to work for constant improvement like Tesla or Google. The judicial system must be independent, but within the framework of the “judiciary” and not as a legislative authority. In Israel the legislative and executive authorities are mixed and in addition there is no “remedial” authority. I call it “the government house”. The judiciary is forced to “legislate” because, as stated, there is no separation between the “executive” and “legislative” authorities. In addition, a constitution protects the citizens from the authorities and when there is no constitution, this creates more complications. Israel cannot be fully democratic because there are constraints from Jews and “the rest”, if the “rest” control us we probably won’t be here as free people.Bottom line, the legal system needs to be changed from end to end for the right reasons – all changes should apply to the next term to avoid a conflict of interest, by a type of “project manager”. Of course the judicial system needs to undergo changes by the “house of government” and not by an infected party – the “government”. There is no “government house” today, so no one has a mandate to change the system or one of the authorities. A week’s trials will make the residents prosper, it is possible. You have to imagine it first and then do it.

Fundamental change of the system

It is important to understand: a revolution is needed in the justice system in Israel and in the administration of justice, and it will only be possible if the person who stands at the head of the justice system knows how to use technology and can rebuild the justice system.

A short and effective sentence

Focusing on justice, the speed and convenience of the trial, the quality of the judges and preventive justice through measurement and constant improvement. The components of the justice index should be: was there a fair trial, how long did it last, how long did they wait for it and what was the cost to each of the parties and the state, and how many trials from different fields were there.

Stop using the court as a legislator

In Israel, the “common law” method is used, according to which a large part of the judgments constitute a kind of law. Judgments should be converted into laws and not based on judgments because the court is not supposed to be a legislator: if the court encounters a problem, let it return it to the legislators. A new mechanism needs to be developed so that unclear laws are returned to the legislator and are not based on court rulings. This method caused problems in Israel in the Supreme Court.

A designated body in the court system that pushes to close loopholes in the law and to amend unclear laws – the body will make sure that the legislative authority (the House of Representatives, the Knesset) will see to the amendment of unclear legislation, and many lawsuits are drawn out of it. An example of such a law that a civil body is pushing.

Don’t be afraid of technology

Use any technology that can promote justice: video, cell phones, voluntary surveillance, a national document database, and more. Anything that promotes justice and convenience for litigants to promote. Conservatism is the enemy of justice.

Measure to improve

Measure what you want to improve: was there a fair trial, how long did the trial last, how long did they wait for it and how much did the trial cost the parties and the state, how many trials from different fields were there. Feedback on the degree of punishment in all legal fields – to be filled out by judges, defendants, prosecutors, attorneys, witnesses – should the degree of punishment be raised or lowered according to the recidivism of the crimes versus the severity of the punishment?

prevent conflicts in advance

Focus on preventive justice, i.e. measure where conflicts arise and prevent them in advance through regulation and technological systems (such as signature management, contract system, real estate trading system) that will be developed and operated by private companies that will be selected in state tenders. The ultimate goal is more justice in less trials and time.

Constitution to make order

Establishment of a constitution for Israel – the court should not enact laws in place of the legislative authority, but only make sure that the laws have not been violated and ensure their implementation. In situations where there is no law, the court must return the matter to the legislator.

Law 2.0 – a digital law according to which the citizen will be able to send queries online and in the vernacular (for example: is it allowed to make noise after 5 in the evening?).

Yes, a trial can take a week

Shortening the time for a trial from several years to a few weeks – by changing the course of the trial and adapting it to the technology that exists today (where possible):

Invitation to trial through a national identification system – it will be very difficult to disclaim responsibility and easy to summon witnesses and defendants.

Proceed to an online trial

Conducting a trial in digital form (online) and online video testimony (in some cases, for example in a rape trial) that can be recorded at home or in authorized locations. Every police station can have a room for giving evidence. In a trial in this way, witnesses will not be afraid to stand in front of the accused in the trial. Transfer of evidence online – if the parties agree. If there is an objection to the proof, it will be delivered in physical form, and if the proof is accepted, the party who objected will pay a fine.

stop the appeal procedure

Making it difficult to appeal in court – today there is an illogical ease in appealing, everyone appeals and the penalties change. An appeal should be allowed, but not easily.

Defendants return

It is true that the role of the police is to prevent the recurrence of crimes by criminals, but the court should be an additional critic of the process. Repeat defendants should receive a completely different treatment as well as different punishments if they have returned to their bad ways. A noble goal of the court is that criminals do not repeat crimes.

Strive to remove the criminal defendants from the cycle of crime with heavy punishments or quality rehabilitation in a support system for retraining.Added to them is the use of technological means such as constant surveillance until the restrictions are removed.

Good judges bring good judges

The Minister of Justice should come from the field of law and high-tech to carry out the revolution in the justice system.

A clear measure of the quality of the judge: the satisfaction of the defendant’s attorney and the plaintiff’s attorney in the trial and the evaluation of the judge by other judges.

One good manager placed at the head of the justice system can make the necessary revolution, therefore it is important to choose the right team to head the system and coordinate the necessary improvements and changes. The method of selecting judges should be checked regularly – does it bring in good judges from the past?

Welfare and equality

Love your neighbor as yourself

A professional minister who will make a revolution

There is a huge difference between a theorist and a man of action, and you cannot tell who is a good manager until you see him lead, just as you cannot tell who will be a good fighter until you see him fight.

In his proper governance there is a proper structure, a necessary condition for a welfare state, the minister of welfare will be professional, will hold office for at least four years and carry out the revolution in welfare, he must have a managerial background from the private sector, in order to bring the methods from the private sector. Of course, the revolution will be a measurement. This is by the way the disease of academic institutions, the professors and deans many times did not manage anything themselves but only research.

In the academy, I saw this happen with a dean of the Faculty of Education who, instead of managing her secretary to produce an event that would have cost 50,000 NIS, she hired an outside company and the excessive waste reached over 400,000 NIS.

What does the welfare state give me?

“A widow and an orphan shall not be tortured: if he answers, you shall answer him because if he cries out to me, I will hear his cry.”

This sentence is also true for our time, because in order for us to be good, we need to be good to the weak. It sounds a bit strange, but society is measured by its attitude to the weak, if we don’t take care of them, the country won’t function because it will be a very bitter group. A bitter group tries to avenge its bitterness with justice, it is easy to collect it even with a blood-lying plot such as “the capitalists are taking advantage of you” or as in Germany “the Jews are to blame for your situation” and as in Iran today. We see it today with the Arabs in Israel as well as with other disadvantaged populations.

Bottom line, this is not only a commandment to take care of the weak regardless of religion, nationality, race or gender, but it also helps those who are not weak, helps in the long run.

The court wrote beautifully about the importance of the right to equality:

“Equality is a central value for any democratic society… The need to ensure equality is natural for a person. It is based on considerations of justice and fairness. The need to maintain equality is essential for society and the social consensus on which it is built. Indeed, there is no factor more destructive to society than the feeling of its sons and daughters that they are being treated somewhere And where. The feeling of inequality is one of the most difficult feelings. It harms the forces that unite society. It harms a person’s self-identity.”

As Herzl wrote in his book Altneuland: “Don’t you think, Mr. Kingscourt, that people would be better off if they were better off?” – Of course they are.

equal opportunities

The wisdom in a welfare state is not to harm the size of the pie, but to divide it more equitably, so that it yields a greater output for everyone, and maybe even increase it. The only way to do this is a combination of capitalism and a high degree of well-being with the direction of the private sector in the right direction, for example the development of an infrastructure for electronic commerce through a national distribution network, and this is a combination that can only be carried out if the leaders are good for the people in the long term, and such leaders will be when the system of government is implemented the new

to check everyone’s quality of life in order to improve, measure the improvement and determine where it occurred. Without measurement it is very difficult to improve just as happy the person is built on feedback to correct. Feedback to improve, streamline or cancel laws and regulations.

Education is the most important factor in equal opportunities and the well-being of the residents, so it should be focused on.

The state’s goal is for the pie to be shared more equitably through appropriate education for the weak and state aid for those who cannot work.

To better distribute “corporate profits” between their owners, employees and citizens who need money. Only the state can change this balance.

Observe the fine line between “can’t” and “don’t want” for the citizens in need.

Capitalism works but does not contradict a welfare state, on the contrary, there is a nice idea for socialism but it is not compatible with the character of the modern man who is brought up to think of himself before the group. From socialism you only need to take the aspiration for equality, especially equality of opportunity and a safety cushion in 6 subjects: drugs and alcohol, nutrition, housing, food, education and health. Drugs and alcohol are on the list because they are just as important as the rest, they destroy a welfare state and cause inequality.

Drugs are enemies of a welfare state

Most of the welfare problems are directly or indirectly related to drugs and alcohol, the problem should be attacked and not the symptoms some of which include: child abuse, rape, domestic violence, prostitution and other symptoms of addiction.

And today everyone is wrong and treats the symptoms and not the problem, and the symptoms are endless.

And the problem is not explanatory, the problem is an easy hand for the distributors and the neglect of the addicts.

It is possible to deal with the problem, there is an example of this in Singapore and several other countries, they see that heavy punishment contributes to the eradication of drugs in society.

Japan: Japan has a strict drug policy, with severe legal consequences for drug possession and use. This, along with strong cultural values and social stigma surrounding drug use, contribute to low consumption rates.

Singapore: Singapore is known for its harsh drug laws, including the death penalty for drug trafficking.This strict policy, combined with a high level of social disapproval and strong family values, leads to low drug consumption.

Saudi Arabia: Saudi Arabia has a strict drug policy and severe penalties for drug-related offenses. In addition, the country’s conservative culture and religious values may contribute to low drug consumption.

Iceland: Iceland has seen a significant decrease in drug use among its youth due to a combination of factors, including strong social programs, parental involvement, and government-sponsored recreational activities.

South Korea: South Korea’s low drug consumption can be attributed to strict drug laws, a strong emphasis on education, and cultural norms that discourage drug use.

It is possible to be frustrated on a probabilistic level: is there no way to prevent addicts from continuing to hit society? Obviously there is a way, you just have to find it.

When a person is in drugs and alcohol, nothing can help him except to clean him up!

The state needs to label alcohol and drug addicts so that it can know which methods succeeded in getting them out of addiction, otherwise any welfare services will not help.

Marking a person as an addict can change after a period of being clean. This marking can help in deciphering crimes and in general as a threat to the addict. Given that there is the national application for identification, the state can know where the addicts hang out. This is indeed a serious violation of their privacy but this is the least of their problems. We have to go from the end to the beginning here, there will be almost no drug and alcohol addicts in Israel, and now we have to implement it.

Instead of a prison, provide daily tests and receive payment for them. Using prison as a threat to being clean from drugs and alcohol. At the same time give drug substitutes and alcohol. Surely there is a way to make people not turn into zombies.

A large part of the welfare budget is allocated to problems caused by drug use which cause mental problems.

Treatment in centers for the treatment of addictions and of course constant follow-up and urgent tests, of course those who do not comply with this can be subject to restrictions. It should be considered for those who have not worked anything to think about distributing drug alcohol in protected places, which could harm the environment.

In conclusion, it is possible to significantly reduce the unimaginable damage that drugs do to society by heavy punishment on the one hand, extensive information and uncompromising cleanliness of the addicts by marking them and a strong authority to fight drugs and alcohol.

Education is a welfare state’s best friend

The only way to reduce gaps is through education and free education in particular, there is no other way.

Ensuring equal access to quality education is essential for social and economic development. In Finland, education is considered a priority, and the government offers free, high-quality education from early childhood to higher education. Finland’s education system is known for its focus on equality, teacher professionalism and individualized learning. This approach has led to consistently high scores in international assessments such as PISA, demonstrating the effectiveness of their education policies in fostering social cohesion and reducing disparities.

diet

Measuring which of the country’s residents has a food shortage. Without measurement there is no feedback, and without feedback it is impossible to improve. Probably the correct way to measure is through the welfare services as well as in the national application by self-reporting when the user has a lack of food.

The big problem of the weak strata is that they feed on a diet that causes serious health problems, and therefore the weak population also suffers from more health problems and a lower life expectancy than the rest of the population. It is solvable, but we need to push a free diet by regulating and prohibiting the sale of toxic foods in the normal sections of the supermarket, only in the “poisons” section of the supermarket. That way there will be little shame for those who want to buy food that poisons him and his family.

Ensuring adequate nutrition and food security is a priority in socially conscious countries, preferably free nutrition . In Brazil, for example, the government implemented the Fome Zero program, which aims to eradicate hunger and malnutrition. The program includes various initiatives, such as Bolsa Familia, which provides financial assistance to low-income families on the condition that their children attend school and receive vaccinations. In addition, school feeding programs have been introduced to provide nutritious meals to students, helping to improve both their health and academic performance.

housing

You can read about free thought housing here in free housing .

The state should measure the level of housing for each resident, take care of minimum housing. You need an up-to-date situation picture for whom the housing is not suitable. The difficulty of preventing exploitation of the welfare system.

The basis of a person is shelter and food. The state should take care of the minimum that will be defined by law as a ceiling.

Responding to the need for affordable and safe housing is essential in promoting social welfare. In Singapore, the government established the Housing and Development Board (HDB) to provide public housing for the majority of its citizens. HDB flats are reasonably priced, with various housing grants available to help lower income households. Through these efforts, Singapore has achieved one of the highest home ownership rates in the world, contributing to social stability and economic mobility.

health

The state should take care of the health of all residents, one way is free health . The people cannot take care of themselves because of the multitude of false advertisements and opinions we were born with. The people are free for the long term and the state must intervene and make them think for the long term.

Providing accessible and comprehensive health services is essential for a socially conscious country, but what is important is a way of life and a healthy diet a thousand times more than health services that hardly need them if you live a healthy life and a suitable diet. In Canada, the government implemented a universal health care system known as Medicare. This publicly funded system ensures that all Canadian citizens and permanent residents have access to medically necessary services, regardless of their ability to pay.The Canadian health care system is often cited as an example of successful publicly funded health care, leading to better health outcomes and higher life expectancy for its citizens compared to countries with less comprehensive health care.

Progressive taxation?

Taxation does not reduce disparities, only education does. A progressive tax is desirable so that there is a large budget for education and help for the weaker sections of society. It is possible, you just have to push it without compromise.

The problem with taxation in Israel is that it does not use the new technology and calculates everything including invoices, payments, digital currency and national account management.

Inheritance taxation, for example, is lacking in Israel, there is no justice and logic that an inheritance of one billion shekels has zero tax.

Get quantitative feedback to improve

Measurement, measurement, measurement! And most importantly: how do you measure improvement? When there is one central figure that you want to improve, everything is measurable and there is feedback, as well as less debates, conjectures and bets.

Imagine that the Minister of Welfare has all the data on the quality of life – health, happiness, housing, meaning in life – of all Israeli citizens. And with this data, the minister knew what needed to be changed in order to improve the quality of life for more and weaker sections of the nation. Each project will be measured by the degree of improvement in the quality of life!

It is easy to measure the quality of life of citizens using simple questionnaires. The second important index is the disparity in the level of equality in the state’s income, which is known as the Gini index .

How do you know what people feel?

Ask them, through a dedicated application of the administration.

They already invented an app

An application that residents can install will give them a “situational picture” together with social workers and welfare agencies. All information will be in one place. That is, it is possible to take existing methods that work in large hi-tech companies and apply them to the residents by the state.

One system that centralizes everything! The desired situation is knowing the current quality of life of the country’s citizens and creating a method to monitor and improve it.

The data on the people who need the welfare support should be available, of course also their quality of life, state expenditures as well as the associations that support them.

transportation

As with anything that you apply free thought to, look for changes that require little energy and have a great effect. The ultimate goal of the proposed changes is to streamline the movement of passengers on the roads and reset the environmental signature of transportation, for example: autonomous taxis can already travel on intercity roads today, you only need to adjust the road slightly. It is easy to improve transportation because no revolutionary improvements have been made to it in the last 50 years.

With the help of constant measurement, we can know how we improve transportation.

Budget investment and effort concentration

• Investing all the effort in preparing the infrastructure for smart transportation for the next 20 years – the next four sections.
• Gradual cessation of the investment of the budget in the construction of interchanges, public transport routes and railway tracks. Until the introduction of autonomous vehicles. Investment in the management of the electricity and transport infrastructure for charging electric vehicles.
• Today’s transportation budget is sufficient for the requested changes, we only need people who are not afraid of change and know how to carry it out.
• Setting nationwide high standards: sidewalks, convenient parking outside businesses, roads, charging for planting trees. Example .
• Stopping the growth of vegetation that requires gardening and switching to natural vegetation without gardening; and irrigation in interchanges and roadsides.

Reducing the number of road accidents

The number of road accidents and casualties may be reduced if the following ideas are implemented:

• Measurement – with the help of the measurement, the state will be able to determine the price of a trip per km according to the driver, the price will be higher for a dangerous driver.
• According to global statistics, autonomous taxis will hardly be involved in traffic accidents.

Measurement of all trips and digitization

• With the help of measurements, we can optimize the consumption of fuel and electricity and understand whether the Ministry of Transport is doing its job and improving the service to road passengers.
• Measure all road trips using an application installed on phones: distance, time, fuel or electricity consumption.
• All insurances, licenses, reports and fees will be paid in the aforementioned application.
• Data collected in the measurement will show where and when the major problems exist.
• Accurate measurement of the place and time of the traffic accident.

Payment for travel

• To spread the trips throughout the day and make more people travel together, a fee should be charged for each trip.
• Each trip will have a price that will be determined according to its nature (business, private or public), the road, the time, the driver and what offenses he has, the type of car – electric or gasoline – and the number of passengers.
• The fuel tax can be canceled when a fee is charged for each trip.

Walking paths, bicycles and small electric tools

These means of transportation have multiple advantages: they are fun and healthy for the passenger, do not harm the environment, do not produce noise pollution, the cost of the paths is not high and the tools themselves are cheap and anyone can afford to buy them!

• Paving these routes between settlements and cities in Israel and within them.
• Charging stations and lighting along the lanes.

Electric autonomous cars as a replacement for all public transportation in Israel

Imagine hundreds of autonomous cars stopping at designated stations as ordered by the app. You drive a car to such a station and order an autonomous car in the app, and within a few minutes it stops next to you and takes you to the station you chose. The technology exists for autonomous cars on intercity roads – and driving them is easy, the only thing missing is free thought. On intercity roads, when there is a suitable infrastructure, these cars are ten times better than trains.

Why do you need it?

• to move people easily and cheaply.
• Allow residence outside of Tel Aviv as well.
• Get as many cars off the road as possible.
• Be an example to other countries.
• Develop an industry around autonomous cars.
• You should invest in the future and not in the past! The state invests billions in unnecessary projects such as building interchanges and widening roads.

Why does this solve the problem?

• The technology is ripe for autonomous cars on intercity roads.
• The cost of operating taxis is negligible compared to the cost of the train and its infrastructure.
• On such a “simple” road, the technology available today for autonomous cars is sufficient.
• There are no pedestrians and barriers as there are in cities and on the roads.
• Option to use existing roads with or without a unique lane.
• An autonomous taxi can also transport 10 people.
• The government should adjust the road and publish a tender for taxi operators.
• Private cars have to be charged for driving on an intercity road.

How It Works

• Regular autonomous cars will drive on the road.
• The road is adapted to autonomous cars and its dangers.
• Ordering vehicles is done through the app only.
• A car can transport several people from several stations or privately for an additional price.

The advantage over a train and a private car

• Not all traffic drains to individual stations.
• You don’t have to wait (like for a train or a bus), you order a car in the app and it arrives.
• A train pollutes the environment and its infrastructure is expensive.
• Close to home, because after every few kilometers there is a station.
• Feeling of a private ride.
• Not as noisy as the train or bus.
• Passenger capacity is much higher, and there are thousands of such vehicles.
• Based on existing infrastructure.
• The service is not idle, because there are thousands of cars.
• No need to stop at stations all the way.
• There is no need to maintain a disturbed track and bridges and barriers and mechanics.
• There is no need to support the money in the train and the mechanism that works around it.

free housing

Yes, everyone is wrong about housing

Housing prices are a symptom and not the problem. The problem is the product that the citizen receives, a product not good enough for what he could have received if housing had been managed. Big houses, high floors, penthouses do not make happy tenants.

what yes Good neighbors, nature around, walking to all places in a good way, bike paths, park. All these things are outside the house! And this is everyone’s biggest mistake.

Why bother with housing at all?

Housing is one of the most important and influencing factors for the prosperity of the citizens in the country, and it should be a top priority for any government that is in office today or that will come in the future.

The expenditure for housing constitutes one of the main components of the total expenditure of every household in Israel, approximately 30 of the household’s expenditure. This is the biggest expense.

The main idea is to optimize and reduce the existing methods by simplifying and unifying the planning, buying, selling and building processes. As with any subject where free thought is allowed, we seek to create small and simple changes that create a big effect.

What does it mean to care for a citizen?

Every citizen is entitled to purchase adequate housing, in terms of size and exterior space.

High housing prices that a large part of the population cannot afford are a symptom and not the problem. The problem is seen in weak and visionless management:

Determination – big changes, even when they are made in small steps, cause a feeling of discomfort and sometimes even harm in some residents. A way must be found to move the country forward according to planning and create a fair system to compensate those affected by these changes. The contractors want profitability and economic viability and this comes before the interest of the citizens and the environment, therefore the state must intervene with regulation.

Lack of long term planning!

Serious bureaucracy in every field related to planning and construction

Inefficiency in construction processes, vision and key solutions

Free economy

The free economy should do its thing, but the government must direct it to the benefit of the citizens and the environment through regulation, laws, incentives and enforcement.

The state should enact laws, push for the construction of good infrastructure, manage the regulation of construction and supervise it, but not build it itself.

Build with nature and not on it

Nature grows plants, bushes and trees without the need for gardening and watering and planning, therefore we need to learn to build within nature without affecting it too much, it is possible and the profit will be double because both the quality of people’s lives will improve and the damage to the environment will be reduced. A good example is Silicon Valley, which is full of trees, so it doesn’t really look like a city in most places, but more like a village, that’s exactly how it should be built. In addition, it makes sense to build private houses with wood and not concrete, the government just needs to encourage it.

Finland was ranked as the country with the happiest citizens in the world.

Quoting from a letter published in Globes about Finland, one can understand the importance of nature on the happiness of the citizens:

Jimenez told CNBC that she is often asked why Finns are so happy. For her, it “stems from a close relationship with nature and our simple lifestyle.”

The Finnish CEO of the customer feedback company HappyOrNot Mika Makitalo agreed with the words. “We cultivate our work-life balance, believe in our company and take time to benefit from our closeness to nature,” Mika told CNBC.

It’s nice to go about resetting the environmental signature of cities and towns by 2030, difficult but possible.

It will also develop housing industries around this setting.

On the way to reducing gaps

Reducing gaps between rich and poor in housing – limiting the construction of private houses and apartments, there is no sense in houses of 1,000 square meters for a family of four, unless they pay huge taxes. Small houses are often much more convenient for people, but they are simply not aware of it. When we lived in the US in a house Relatively large, there was a power outage for 3 days and we moved to a small house of approximately 90 square meters, 5 people. The children liked the small house much more than the big house, and asked to return to it. What is important is the view and the greenery from the house, not the size of the house.

Fast construction

Rapid construction – encouraging the local industry through building laws and benefits for industrial, modular and green construction of prefabricated houses, for example Boxabl . Today, with the help of such industrial construction companies, it is possible to lower the price of construction – from NIS 7,000 to NIS 1,000 per square meter

Why is enforcement good for us?

Immediate and tough enforcement of real estate crimes. Letting real estate criminals operate with impunity encourages chaos and leads to injustice.

Cities and towns around pedestrians and not cars

Within walking distance, as in the kibbutzim, where the roads are paved along the perimeter of the settlement, and the entire interior of the settlement is accessible only to pedestrians, who walk on sidewalks and paths that easily lead to anywhere in the farm.

Connecting the residents of the cities through a commercial floor (such as Tel Aviv) and sports and bicycle fields. Commerce within the residential neighborhoods so that residents receive all commercial services without the use of transportation.

An easy and convenient option to reach the employment centers in the big cities.

The urban planning will be suitable for walking and not for traveling by vehicle. In residential neighborhoods everything will be.

Each settlement will be designed in a pedestrian-friendly manner, so that it will also be accessible to baby strollers and people with disabilities and convenient for cycling. solution for implementation .

Use of existing land

More efficient use of vacant and built-up land

A connection between the residents

Adapting the living environment in the cities to connect the children of the neighborhood such as settlements and kibbutzim through soccer and basketball fields and bicycle tracks. Defining square meters of plots according to the number of children in a certain radius.

Union of authorities

To unite the Israel Land Authority, Taboo, the National Fund for Israel, etc.

Hello internet, goodbye pages

Hello, hello, we are in 2023, the time has come for everything to be online. A national land and lot database is available to everyone online.

Online buying and selling of land, lots and houses. Real estate transactions will be closed online on the Internet.

A national database of infrastructure providers for houses – when renting or selling a house, the exchange of water, internet, electricity, sewage providers… everything will be done with one click.

A national clearing system for all service providers will allow parents to monitor current expenses.

Shortening the duration of legal and bureaucratic processes from months to hours.

Transportation is part of housing

Convenient transportation makes housing places convenient and accessible. For example, it takes 3 hours to reach Tel Aviv from Metula, much less people will want to live in Metula. But if there is a freeway with autonomous cars and it takes an hour and a half to Tel Aviv, it will open Metula to many more residents.Smart transportation and the transition to autonomous cars, the technology available for use on intercity roads, will change the face of housing in Israel from end to end.

Traffic islands and gardens

Reducing the irrigation and maintenance of public gardens and traffic islands to zero. The flowers and other vegetables do not add anything to the city. It is better to plant trees and shrubs that do not require watering or gardening.

Get feedback to move forward

Feedback in the projects being done to improve the next project. Today the planner does not receive feedback because the project takes 7 years or more to get up and many times he is no longer in the position and then there is no learning of lessons and improvement of the project. Like business companies, it is also important in housing that there will always be improvement: in the environment, tenant satisfaction, etc.

Free economy

This is for me twenty years, in your house, I served you fourteen years with your two daughters, and six years with your sheep; and change my salary, ten

Free economy though

When I was a 12-year-old boy, I started reading the economy section of Haaretz because I saw my father reading the section and I probably wanted to be a bit like him. Since then I have not stopped reading economics sections and today this includes the Wall Street Journal, Calcalist, The Marker, FT and a few others.

But leave me alone, but wait, the government must push industries, such as the military, which today are developed in the private market.

We must develop an industry around money, real estate, e-commerce, they are simply 100 years behind. The governors do not understand the market at all. They are stuck on trains and subways and public transport routes when the world is longing for autonomous cars.

In order to advance Israel or any other country, we need to rethink how to organize the economy in order to align the interests of businesses with the interests of the state, which we hope represents the needs of the citizens in the long run. The world is changing at a fast pace mainly due to technological changes such as mobile phones, computers, internet AI and many engineers but the management of the economy has not changed and it is desirable to change it accordingly to bring about the prosperity of the citizens.

The economy should be free and capitalist but must be directed by the state, and yet, an economy that allows capitalism with a high degree of welfare that is difficult to abuse! Otherwise, the economy will operate according to short-term interests. Consideration of the environment, local food production, education or public health are considerations that should be directed by the state, otherwise the economy will ignore them.

Today, the economic aspect of environmental quality is not taken into account and when offering a product or service only profit is considered.

Israel has one of the highest snows in the world, but in my opinion the standard of living is average. The problem is urgent in the public sector and its operation.

The big disconnect

Understanding the “big disconnect” is critical, the government does not control the public sector effectively because of 3 levels of management and more between them, and workers’ committees and emitting interests when the public sector is at the center of the parties. It is possible that in Israel the public sector controls the government to some extent.

In Israel 750,000 people work in the public sector with a cost of NIS 200 billion and 40% of the state budget. Today the public sector is “going” in the wrong direction and at an inappropriate speed.

The public sector is the key to changing life in the Land of Israel. The central government’s control over it and the local government is the key to the execution of government decisions.

An efficient public sector needs an option to significantly reward good people and fire less good people. A brilliant person is worth 1000 times more to the system than an ordinary person, so you need an option to reward him accordingly.

All the ways in which the public sector operates must change to digitalization and measurement just like the private sector.

Transfer every possible job from the public sector to the private sector. It is better for the public sector to deal with regulation, supervision and tenders and less with “operation”.

A solution to the ability to change is not to harm the conditions of the existing employees and to accommodate the new economy on the new employees only.

Witnesses – the most critical thing that will not prevent workers from being fired. This causes a lack of fear of not working. This affects all employees!

What does the economy even need to achieve?

The goal of the economy is the prosperity of the citizens and not the increase of the product.

Streamlining and full control over the public sector. The public sector should focus on regulating and inspecting the private sector.

Private sector – transferring any possible job from the public sector to the private sector.

Closing gaps between classes and equal opportunities.

The long-term orientation of the economy – e-commerce, green energy and more.

Infrastructure for transporting goods.

Convenient infrastructure for agriculture.

Infrastructure for competition and entry of new players in banking, insurance, credit cards.

Money drives

Money drives everything, and if we improve our use of it we will improve our lives.

It is clear that in a modern and smart country it is mandatory to implement digital money, and from this comes the need for digital identities for all citizens as well as a national invoice system!

In ancient times, roads and railroads had to be paved in order to have an infrastructure for businesses. Today we need to “pave” an infrastructure for e-commerce, etc., some of which is virtual, such as: a national database of identities that will make it easier for businesses and their customers, as well as prevent fraud, easy payment clearing. The difficulty in building the aforementioned infrastructure is that the government does not understand where the new economy is going and what it needs to move forward.

See with Bitcoin and its friends that without regulation there is no stability for currencies because there is no central body that enforces the laws, therefore it is clear that for a new type of currency to succeed it must be under a smart government supervision.Mainly it will give advantages over the old currency to the economy and they will be able to build various industries and businesses on it with regulation and enforcement.

Who will gain and who will lose from digital money?

People like me and Israeli citizens can appreciate the benefits of digital money, such as faster transactions and lower fees. For example, someone living in a rural area without access to banks can use digital money to pay bills or receive payments, improving their financial inclusion. State institutions such as police, tax authorities, regulators and courts will benefit from increased transparency, which will make it easier to identify tax evasion or fraud, such as catching a business owner who reports his income.

Israeli companies, both small and large, can benefit from faster transactions, which will help them better manage their cash flow. For example, a small business owner can receive payments instantly, allowing them to pay their suppliers on time. New companies adopting the digital shekel could attract tech-savvy customers who prefer digital payments, while e-commerce companies may see increased sales as more people use digital money for online shopping, such as someone buying groceries online with digital currency.

Some actors will not benefit from digital money, criminals involved in illegal activities will face difficulties in hiding their transactions, as digital money makes it easier to track. For example, a drug dealer using digital money can be more easily tracked by law enforcement. Banks and credit card companies could lose business, as digital money can provide faster and cheaper payment options, such as someone using digital currency to transfer money internationally with lower fees. Insurance companies can face more competition because people can easily switch and pay for other options, like someone comparing car insurance policies online and switching providers with a few clicks.

Those involved in terrorism, currency exchange, the gray market, forgery of invoices and revenue collection will struggle due to the increased transparency and ease of tracking financial activities. For example, it may be more difficult for a money launderer to hide his transactions with digital money, as authorities can more easily track the flow of funds.

Digital money is good for Jews

Digital currency is good for several reasons. This increases digital commerce in Israel, and makes it easier for people to shop online, such as buying clothes or electronics from local stores. It helps track citizens anonymously, using the information to improve public services and infrastructure according to their needs.

Digital currency also encourages competition in the financial sector, as it allows new players to offer credit, reducing reliance on traditional banks and credit cards. This competition can lead to lower fees for services such as currency conversions, making it cheaper for people to exchange money while traveling or sending money abroad.

With a digital currency, small transactions, such as donating one shekel to charity, become more possible. It also promotes competition between banks for savings accounts and interest rates on deposits, to the benefit of customers who can find better deals. Enforcing the maximum interest rate on loans becomes too easy, while protecting borrowers from high rates.

Digital currency eliminates the need for credit cards, allowing people to make payments directly from their digital wallets. It also means there is no need to carry a physical wallet, making everyday transactions more convenient. The country can better understand the economy, as it is easier to track and analyze transactions in digital currencies.

Digital money is harder to steal, and offers more security to users. It also reduces the need for physical invoices, streamlining payments, invoicing and tax reporting. When you pay a business, an invoice with tax reporting is automatically generated, simplifying the process for both customers and businesses.

Finally, digital currency creates new industries centered around it, drives innovation and offers new job opportunities in sectors such as digital wallet development or digital currency exchanges

Why cash is not good for the economy

Cash has no advantages over digital money because it:

Easily stolen

It is difficult to appoint a trustee for cash

Takes up space

Facilitates terrorist activity

Facilitates money laundering

Facilitates forgery of invoices

It is difficult to trace the passage of money

High transport cost

The fake is easy

High production cost

Gives an opening for banks and different companies to charge unnecessary fees

Increases the viability of robbery

Makes it difficult for the IRS to verify the veracity of reports

Black market feeder

This is how digital money should work in Israel

• The state manages the digital shekel
• Only digital money, no cash at all
• The data of the money will be kept in a national database
• Mandatory: digital invoices on a national level, everyone must use this and avoid paper invoices.In addition, a national identity database is needed to support digital money
• When transferring for a “business” purpose, an invoice will be issued automatically
• Everything will be managed through an api to which it will be easy and convenient for companies and organizations to connect
• supervised by the state
• Cash is completely outlawed
• Sub-accounts with privileges can be opened for each account – who can do what (for children, etc.)
• Every person and company in Israel will have a digital identity linked to the amount of money they have
• Any money transfer will be made from one identity to another
• Foreigners who want to hold a digital shekel will have a digital identity in Israel
• Licensed companies will operate the wallets of Israeli citizens and will receive permission to connect to the national database
• Citizens and companies will be able to connect directly to the national database
• Consider managing other currencies as well
• Israel will oversee a maximum commission on money transfers, loans, opening sub-accounts and the like
• Money transfers can be canceled in case of theft and the like
• Money can be “frozen” in the accounts, only those who receive privileges (for guarantee, loan, etc.) will be able to take it
• The state can issue digital money and is responsible for it as it is responsible for security, not the banks
• You can use a standing order to limit the maximum amount of money that a body can withdraw from an account, for example: allow Bezeq to withdraw up to NIS 1,000
• A customer will be able to allocate an amount for management within the account by banks and similar companies (without transferring it to their account). These companies will control the amount to be determined and the customer will be able to see their actions easily.

Why didn’t they create a digital shekel 10 years ago?

Because there is no technological body like the Digital Ministry that can predict advanced technology and integrate it into the existing systems.

Exactly what Raphael did to military technology should be done to move Israel to digital and on the way to create a private industry around it.

What is the relationship between the economy and the environment?

A solution for the environment through the economy: tax reduction when the product or service helps the environment and imposing a “fine” when the product harms the environment; Limit the economy to minimal damage to the environment. Determining an annual quota for an environmental signature per person, measuring the signature and reducing the quota over the years; Compensation or entry of businesses and services according to the damage to the environment.

Workers’ committees and strikes

Workers’ and corporate committees to clearly determine what is allowed for each according to the long-term interest of the state.

the private sector

In Israel, approximately 2.3 million people work full-time in the private sector.

Make the penalties for business offenses of fraud, breach of trust and falsification of corporate documents more severe and increase enforcement. Such action will not only do justice but also make people trust each other more.

Reducing the duration of business trials to a few weeks.

A revolution in the court system – appointment of vigorous and strong judges in economic courts and trials of economic or business offenses.

An easy-to-use government database of credit ratings.

Legislation of clear laws for labor unions.

Hiring and firing employees easily but maintaining their rights for the long term.

A clear definition of “contract worker” in the “new economy”.

Assimilation of English in all economic systems.

E-commerce of the future

Encouraging the opening of online stores to streamline trade and reduce prices.

Easy and convenient establishment of businesses and companies is critical for equal opportunities and a sophisticated economy.

Lowering dependence on commercial real estate – will allow entrepreneurs to easily establish new businesses and will ease the competition of entrepreneurs with giant companies like Amazon.

An example from India, where the implementation was done with great success: an Indian trade network encouraged by the state

As Herzl wrote in the Altneuland book: “Because everyone knew that the delivery companies with the price list, the catalogs and the publications in the newspapers – would get ahead of them. Today, electronic commerce replaces physical stores and the state should help it to be egalitarian, and not managed by a single company. This is possible by establishing a national infrastructure for deliveries managed by private companies.

The new office that protects you from business

By exercising “free thought” they understand that the interest of the businesses is to earn more, and this is often contrary to the benefit of the consumer.

Today there are very weak consumer protection bodies, in Israel it is the “Consumer Protection and Fair Trade Authority” and in the USA it is the FTC.

Their role so that the citizens of the country benefit and not lose must be more central and much more significant.

Yes, the Ministry of Consumer Affairs

It should be a separate and strong ministry with a minister. Today the business sector controls the citizens. And for the consumer-citizens that we are all, there is no real body that protects them and directs the business sector, you will see this later, after exercising “free thought” it is possible to do with national rating systems, expressing a position as well as digitalizing all the products in the economy.

There is nothing more important than protecting consumers because the citizens are consumers most of the time.

For example, a product that requires protection by the Ministry of Consumer Affairs: toothpastes such as Sensodyne today contain a substance that is probably toxic: titanium dioxide . This is a small example of thousands of examples. Today in Israel and the USA there is no serious body that protects consumers.

Silence is slime

Silence on important issues such as health, finance and more like it just like the operation of the “poisoner”.

Today there is no strong health position such as: giving an incentive to food businesses to serve dishes suitable for humans, without oil, salt or sugar, and that the food sold to the public is suitable for humans. A strong consumer ministry with a vision can direct the products in healthy and generally more efficient directions.Today there is an unsupervised wild west, sometimes only information and rating will be enough for the consumer.

Today, there is also no clear statement on financial products that are suitable for long-term savers. There is no clear statement about killer interest rates and credit cards. And these are just small examples. Yes, the weak are well taken advantage of.

Both consumers need and so do businesses

The misleading advertising on products celebrates and misleads millions of consumers. A body with power is required to give clear instructions on what is allowed to be published and what is not.

On the other hand, businesses today have to deal with the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Religion, the Ministry of the Economy and other ministries to know if they meet the requirements of the law.

Everything should be in one place in the consumer ministry with experts in the various fields.

Such an office will solve the business problem and the consumer problem together.

The role of the Ministry of Consumer Affairs is to ensure that the information for consumers is as accurate as possible. It basically upgrades the quality of products and services in the economy.

The conflict of interest today between the economy and citizens

There is a conflict of interest between protecting the public from businesses, and between the Ministry of Economy, which wants businesses to grow, so we need an independent office for the Ministry of Consumer Affairs.

The Ministry of Finance and Economy actually wants to increase the economy, without any interest in protecting the consumer.

Consumer protection, which is the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, is the brake and protector of a “free economy”, which is very important for a large and correct output for the economy. The Ministry of Consumer Affairs will protect consumers from exploitation as well as unintentional deception by companies.

How to make lowercase letters uppercase

Small letters and high legal language prevents today’s consumers from really understanding what the danger is facing them.

Digitizing all the products as well as the fine print in the products and services into a simple language that allows you to scan the bar code and get an easy description will solve the problem and also give the Ministry of Consumer Affairs the opportunity to track all the products. Users don’t really read the fine print, so you need to simplify it.

That is, every product that is offered to citizens will be uploaded to the website of the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, for monitoring. This will allow the Ministry of Consumer Affairs to improve services and products for citizens because they will be able to know what is being offered to them.

National infrastructure for rating services and products

Building a national infrastructure for rating businesses by customers which will be very helpful for e-commerce and receiving good service and products for citizens.

Raising the quality of products and services for consumers, check the possibility of creating a national system where citizens will rate the products they bought. Of course such an infrastructure should be developed by private companies. There is an example of such a system that works well and it is from Amazon.

How to measure the activity of the Ministry of Consumer Affairs

Measuring the success of the office by an index that consists of the citizens’ satisfaction with the services and products they receive. This index is easy to calculate by the average ratings of the consumers regarding the services and products they bought, data that currently exists, in my free imagination, in the national rating system for services and products.

An outcome of the Ministry of Consumer Affairs is to reduce the cost of living because the Ministry of Consumer Affairs supports competition by ranking and listing businesses.

How are the citizens exploited today

What is saddest is that the weakest in society are the most exploited by misleading advertising and charlatans, because the weakest in society are the least educated. It is true that only through education can the weak in society be helped, but a strong consumer ministry will have a huge impact on them.

It is very difficult for citizens today to know if a contractor has a license, or a doctor has a license, therefore it is very wise to develop a single national system for examining the licenses of people and businesses, without physical certificates. There are many unlicensed “experts”, such as newsletters, obit owners and various therapists who must limit their advertising to consumers.

Prevention of misleading advertising, presentation of clear information and check on product packaging, food.

Fast court for consumers versus businesses

It would be very wise to establish mediation between consumers and companies before going to trial and for those who did not find it helpful, there is no court for claims of up to a small amount from businesses to consumers and vice versa. This will avoid procrastination and high legal costs. The court cannot be under the Ministry of Consumer Affairs because of a conflict of interest, the Ministry of Consumer Affairs would do well to push the establishment of such a special court. Such a court will also handle lawsuits against foreign companies that today can take advantage of the fact that it is difficult to sue them because they are not in Israel.
