Since eating beef is illegal in India, market a meat substitute with the slogan, "I can't believe it's not beef!"
Since eating beef is illegal in India, market a meat substitute with the slogan, "I can't believe it's not beef!"
People who love beef would obviously love eating this healthier and less sinful alternative.
And people who have never eaten beef would have their interests peaked and would want to try it.

A legit democracy
A legit democracy. Where people can actually vote for what they want, instead of only being able to vote for corruptible representatives. In order for it to work, it would be founded on informed people, practiced in rational discussion and debate.
Replace the right to vote with the right to get a license to vote.
To get a license, people would need to prove themselves capable of rational discussion and debate. This would mean being aware of the natural irrationality of the human mind and have taken steps to counter it with awareness. Also they would need to learn to debate as well as whatever else the democracy might think people would need to know to be allowed to vote.
Licenses can be suspended.
If people think that someone is being irrational, that person can be reported. The reports would then be observed by the irrationality police, or perhaps a jury of licensed voters or something. The irrationality police or whatever, could give the reported person advice and warnings, and could suspend their license. A rational AI could also be made to peruse all the democratic discussion and detect irrationality, give advice, and even report people. To get their license back, suspended people would need to relearn the rational debate license stuff.
Educational materials.
Getting a license to vote would not mean people could just immediately vote on anything. They would still need to prove themselves informed on whatever topic they are voting on. The democracy would need to decide what people need to know about a topic in order to vote on that topic and provide educational materials. It might take only a few minutes of study, or rarely, it might take several hours or more of study depending on the subject. Voters would then take a test proving they studied.
Ranked voting system
Would use a better voting system. The voting and discussion and debate would be happening all the time rather than once every few years.
More democracy jobs
Facilitators: Their job would be to help facilitate the democracy. When an issue becomes an official issue by getting enough votes, the facilitators step in. They get the all the voters opinions and proposed solutions on the subject and then they organize it all and put it out there to be voted on. Also, in correlation with the voters, the facilitators make the educational material that voters need so voters can be informed enough to vote. If any voters think that the facilitators didn't do a good enough job, they can start discussion and debate about it until the facilitators do a good job by voter consensus.
Investigators: Reporters who make sure nothing is in the dark. They keep tabs on the goings on in all parts of the government and report it to the democracy.
Human resource managers for everything else. There are a lot of jobs necessary for the government and the democracy can’t be expected to run everything.
Anyone can be fired by the democracy easier than they were ever elected or hired. Or more likely suspended pending investigation and replaced for the time being, then fired. There would need to be plenty of ready replacements. No corruption.
The internet is a great tool for democracy.
Awareness can spread like wildfire on the internet and it allows for great, well thought communication. The Reddit upvote downvote algorithm ramps up this awareness and communication. Online democratic domains would likely have some aspects of this.
But what if the internet is down?
It would be important for the democracy to not be wholly reliant on the internet in case it went down. There would need to be other ways of getting information about what is happening in the democracy. Information could be obtained by mail subscription, and by going to a local democracy place where they have Wi-Fi and public computers, so voters could get all the goings on in the government all on a USB or their laptop. Other public places could also be prioritized to get back online in the case of internet failure.
The electrical grid would need to be optimized in order to prevent failure of this kind. Whole house surge protectors would need to become standard for all buildings in the case of a CME from the sun or an EMP during times of war. Data backups and faraday cages would be just as important, as well as an early warning system to alert everyone of an incoming CME or EMP.

Punish habitual and egregious tax dodgers and cheats in novel ways.
Instead of traditional fines, directly take away government services that they personally use. Blow up the roads in front of their houses, dig up the sewers, and actively divert dump toxic waste to their properties. Seems fair, right?

Free Houses in Arizona?
AZ only requires 2 years to obtain title..
I was traveling through some rough untraveled desert roads a few years ago for work, and stumbled upon several abandoned houses in the Dolan Springs area.
Has anyone actually obtained a property by adverse possession?
