Civil Trinity: Firefighters, Police and Teachers
Civilization began to develop when hunter-gatherers settled down in one location
from which cities evolved. Civil derives from city. The evolution of cities
and civilizations accreted special services to optimize survival and stability.
These services are the foundation of cities and civilization, the Civil Trinity.
Like the weather, everyone talks about the Civil Trinity members being underpaid
and under-appreciated ... but nobody does anything about it.
Well, Timism has several proposals to rectify the under-valuation of
firefighters, police and teachers.
-
Ten monthly lifehour credits: When Timism has national political clout due
to sufficient supporters, civil "trinitists" will be paid a monthly
10 lifehour stipend. In 2023 with a lifehour valued at about $31, that is
a monthly buying power bump of over $300. Like all
lifehour
credits, they will be used for food, taxes, loans, etc.
-
24in4: Either we share job
time or jobless crime. Fully implement, trinitists will work four
days of six hours. This will be possible as other citizens, trading workhours
for volunteer hours and healthcare costs, will become classroom aides, police
assistants and fire helpers. Teachers would work a flipflop workweek of MTWT
... TWTF ... MTWT ... TWTF with a four-day weekend twice a month. On days
off, volunteers would menter, test and fieldtrip.
-
All loans will be bundled into a jumbo loan that is paid off over one's worklife
at zero interest for early birders. Repayment is a percentage of income beyond
the cost of living.
-
Disaster Prep Services: Increase stability in the cities
by implementing a standarized model to develop the basic needs of civilization,
food and healthcare.
-
Jabber
Democracy: An additional $1.6 million per highschool by standardizing
vaccines at high schools.
-
Civility
Brainbees: Use brainbees to eliminate chaos at public meetings.
-
Lancaster
Junior Teachers: Reward higher graded students with good grade to mentor
lower classmates in math and reading, e.g., 5th grade does kindergarden,
6th grade does 1st grade. This mentoring would be on the teachers' days off
under the supervision of volunteers earning lifehour credits.
This will succeed when enough Civil Trinitists support Timism.
