How U.S.A. Could Potentially Win World War 3

By focusing on these four relatively simple things, a country can potentially win World War 3.

1. Food

~300,000 years ago, humans had wild ancestral food.

~12,000 years ago, we began to cross-breed domestic food to our tastes.

~80 years ago, we began to modify our food genetically.

Genetically modified food can change wild, heirloom, ancient, heritage, and ancestral food by being close to it (genetic contamination). This can potentially lead to unintended consequences (you starving).

In the U.S. most food sold is GMO. There is no military protection of the public's access to wild, heirloom, ancient, heritage, and ancestral food. There are many things the human species can get wrong over the next 100–1000 years, but there is no coming back from the extinction of food.

Humane, sustainable, and regenerative farming is relatively simple and inexpensive compared to the long-term benefits it provides. It requires:

Biodiverse life (food)
Space or land
Soil or substrate
Electricity (solar and sand batteries)
Water
Labor
Time
Tools
Greenhouses or healthy and safe airspace

It also may be important to treat others as you want to be treated, as there have been significant reports of a near-death experience life review in which you feel all the pain you caused others.

2. Money

Automation will continue to replace workers exponentially. By giving everyone a livable basic income and savings that go up in value over time, you strengthen yourself and your community.

Basic Income

By offering 1% of transactions to all citizens (who choose not to opt out) as a small experiment, and aiming to lower the cost of living, we can grow stronger. It is significant to note that you do not want to print currency to provide a basic income, as that could cripple future generations with inescapable debt.

We all need:

Water
Unlimited internet (provides education, including political)
Food
Shelter
Electricity (solar and sand batteries)

These are relatively inexpensive compared to the benefits they provide. Keeping homeless people healthy can strengthen your community.

Savings

By using permanently (not currently or possibly) finite digital assets, you can have savings that go up in value over time. This gives your community the ability to plan, grow stronger, and survive.

3. Rehabilitation Over Punishment

When combined with a livable basic income, rehabilitation over punishment allows people to stop hurting others for money.

4. Voting

In a new voting initiative, your town decides to build open-source voting machines because they are more accurate, verifiable, and secure. They also digitized ballot access, provide identification cards and documents instantly at voting locations, and provide unlimited internet access to the public so they can be educated and politically informed.

They use the latest standards for high-security open-source hardware and software. The entire supply chain is recorded by blockchain and video and is fully accessible to the public. This includes creation, installation, physical transfers, setup, multiple inspections, and breakdowns.

Each voting machine uses instant-runoff, ranked-choice algorithms. The population is 1,000,000, so they put the appropriate number of sats (or the smallest unit of an open-source asset with a public ledger) into local “Unused Votes” wallets on each machine. The machines do not include touchscreens, behavioral biometrics, timestamps, or anything that could potentially identify the voter. They do not have Bluetooth or Wi-Fi capability.

At midnight, each machine connects to the network via cable and transfers the sats (or units) to candidate wallets to ensure a publicly verifiable vote.

The open-source documentation is now available to everyone and can potentially strengthen other communities too.
