Daniel Sticka

My name is Daniel Sticka, and I am building this platform because I want to push for a brighter future, not just for us but for those who come after. For a long time I assumed we were going two steps forward and one step back, though in reality it has been standing still and two steps back, seeing how we have yet to reverse the course set by those who have done systematic harm to this country and to others. So I want to start from scratch. ideas, borrowed and expanded on from other places and other times, each one laid out in full in a video. I encourage the scrutiny. Poke holes in them, make them better, and together we will figure out what comes next.

Not Left. Forward. Not Right.

Three of the Ideas
Policy 01 of

Universal Healthcare

Medical, dental, vision, mental health, all of it, covered by a fifty-dollar copay. Preventative care costs a fraction of what reactive care does, though that is not what the industry wants, seeing how everyone along the chain makes more treating a disease than preventing one. That puts a six hundred billion dollar strain on the economy every year, funding the people who have no real interest in your health. The inefficiency is on purpose. The system is designed around your demise.

Policy 02 of

Universal Basic Income

For the last fifty years, automation has steadily increased, and with the rise of AI, that shift will exponentially force thousands if not millions of people out of work. With little to no oversight or care for the potential downturn of civilization, greed has overtaken those with the most. A Universal Basic Income can keep people from starving and provide housing over time. Starting at five hundred a month with no requirements, everyone's burden can be lifted just a little more, and by year five, we the people will have pushed that up to fifteen hundred a month. This is funded through an AI tax, cuts to military spending and overreach, and a redistribution of wealth.

Policy 03 of

Education Reform

Education could solve eighty percent of the world's problems. As requirements for teachers lessen, the students' minds shrink with them. This reform will bring back experts in education and give each kid the time they need to learn by shrinking classes down to twenty students each. We are looking at other countries for inspiration, like Finland, a country that has outperformed most of the world for the last decade. But education does not stop at high school, so we need to push students toward even greater heights. By automatically giving each child a savings account that is fed one thousand dollars a year, by the time they reach college they will have enough to get a higher education, start a small business, or attend a trade school.

Policies.
One System.

These ideas do not just share a platform, they interconnect with one another in ways that matter. A new banking system, a new information system, infrastructure and more, each of these props the others up while still standing on its own, in that the goal is a foundation you can actually stand on, one that gives you more control over your own life and less dependency on those who would rather keep you in place. They are designed to help those who need it and catch those who fall.

"Not left. Not right. Forward."

If any of this resonates.

One idea that hopefully reaches many minds. I would like you to join me in this, not just to think about it but to press those who are our employees to actually give a damn about people. I hope something comes from this, whether that is actual change or just the right inspiration reaching the right person at the right time. The best time to do something is right now.
