New York City & New York State

Vote for the Game Changer.

If New Yorkers vote for Ben Zakar, they are voting for a governor who wears many hats: a governor who plans, designs, 3D models, engineers, patents, codes, deploys AI, and pitches ideas, all single-handedly.

A one-stop-shop governor who urges New Yorkers to roll up their sleeves: volunteer, endorse, advocate, donate, and vote within the new regime.

Vote for the Game Changer, Vote for a top-to-bottom Reform, Vote for Ben Zakar.

The depiction of New York's skyline paints a rosy picture that starkly contrasts with the absurdities and eyesores seen on the streets. This disparity makes it clear that New Yorkers have been ripped off, paying exorbitant taxes for services that fail to deliver. I'm all in when it comes to fixing this problem, and I'm asking for your support in backing the new regime of Efficracy—let's leave Democracy behind where it no longer serves us. This new regime will make it easy and secure for New York State residents to cast their votes every week, bringing in bold, game-changing reforms that no one has ever seen before. If you take a moment to compare my suggestions with the other gubernatorial candidates, you'll quickly see there's no contest—I'm thousands miles ahead of the competition. My vision for New York is to act as a driving force, setting an example for the nation and the world, ushering in transformative changes that will uplift humanity for current and future generations.

The Steam-Stack Problem

Among the 900 projects I have developed, this 101 serves as an introductory framework to comprehend the innovative creativity introduced by the new regime through its package, PSFE (Part-Time Scholars, Full-Time Executors).

Problem: In New York City alone, there are nearly a dozen think tanks and transportation centers funded by donations—yet somehow, they're not making any obvious breakthroughs in both subway and vehicular traffic. As for the steam stack case, with all these brainpower hubs, why are your bus, Uber, and car still stuck dodging steam stacks, causing traffic jams and dragging down the city's productivity? If everyone could just get where they're going on time, they'd have a better shot at making more money, which would boost the city's bottom line.

Innovation versus Progress

While there are plenty of innovations in today's America, there seems to be little overall progress. I mean, even if you hold a distinguished role within most advanced innovative projects like IBM's quantum computing division or NASA's James Webb mission, witnessing human feces near your residence would reveal the grim truth of nowadays matter. It is then that you would truly understand my proposal to evaluate the new regime among its new human rights.

Why hasn't any DOT engineer fixed this simple issue that's been around for decades?

Mayor Eric Adams recently announced that the city's balanced Preliminary Budget for FY2024 was around $100 billion. However, despite such a big amount of money being spent annually to serve New York City residents, persistent issues such as a steam stack in the middle of a street remain unchanged for decades, despite billions being spent across all departments, including the Department of Transportation. Unsurprisingly, no one has proposed redirecting the steam to the curb and converting it into speed bumps. In considering private-sector versus public-serving, the issue isn't a lack of brainpower among city engineers, but rather a reluctance among public-serving employees to undertake more work due to bureaucracy and salary constraints. The root cause of the problem lies in the outdated representative-democracy system that requires immediate updating.

Is the United States losing its skilled brainpower, or is the entire system outdated?

As you guessed, the entire system is outdated. Therefore, I have developed hundreds of systems under the Efficracy umbrella, one of which is called PS-FE (Part-time Scholars - Full-time Executers). This system creatively addresses the issue of a lack of innovation among future generations of public officials.

The BIG Why?

The fact that numerous Citywide, Statewide, and Nationwide centers and academics are unable to resolve the simple issue of the steam stacks sitting in the middle of streets, causing disruptions to vehicular, bike, and foot traffic, implies that there may be a fundamental problem with the current regime of a representative democracy.

Moreover, as we have seen during the pandemic, even the most distinguished academics have failed to provide unambiguous guidance on whether to wear masks or not. Similarly, they are currently unable to come up with a viable solution for the persisting economic challenges faced by the United States and the global economy. This highlights the pressing need for a complete overhaul of the system, which is where the key players like Efficracy, its sub-regime GenioPolicy, the primary packages The Big Consent and the PS-FE system, and its sub-package Vision Superhero, all come into play.

This does not imply that academics are incapable of improving our lives. Rather, it indicates that there is something wrong with the system that obstructs brilliant minds from outsmarting the demagogues and the absurd political power that dominates our society today. In fact, academics are now more inclined towards avoiding the risks of cancelation culture and the backlash that comes with the current system. This is where the GenioPolicy's PS-FE system comes into play.

The 2025 Mayoral Race, in Perspective

Illustration of a mammoth labeled Ben Zakar beside an elephant labeled President Trump, with a donkey labeled Biden and rats representing the 2025 NYC mayoral candidates

For the first time in history, a mayoral candidate is rewriting the rulebook on what a mayoral race really means.

If you grasp what I've come up with, you'll realize that I'm the mammoth trying to strike a deal with the elephant in the room, Trump, while ignoring the rats of the 2025 mayoral race.

What does Trump have to do with NYC's 2025 mayoral race? How do you think a mayor can fix immigration, inflation, and homelessness? These are nationwide issues, so no matter who begs for your vote, they can't properly address these key challenges. Trump matters because this new regime is about flipping the script on what the presidency stands for, shaking up democracy, and sidelining the United Nations.

The dominoes will start falling when New Yorkers kick off secure weekly votes directly on policy ideas, cutting out the middleman—representatives. That being said, the last thing I want to see is protests and chaos erupting. That's why I aim to strike a deal with Trump, putting national security front and center to ensure a smooth transition from the old 'We the People' to the new constitution, 'We the Humans,' by the end of his term in 2028.

No Coup, Just a Peaceful Transition

With that being said, as the new Efficracy regime takes the reins from Democracy, there's no plan to stage a coup. This initiative does not call for violence or riots, nor does it violate the Smith Act. For that reason, and to ensure a smooth transition, the founding club and I, will work hand in hand with President Trump, not against him, to keep America on solid footing. Ultimately, my goal is to introduce a new global system using quantum technologies to toss out the evil Chinese CCP regime with the bathwater, without sparking a war.

Weekly Votes, Cast from Home

Trump and his entire administration, along with those demagogues in Congress on both sides—liberals and conservatives—can't hold a candle to the creativity and efficiency of the new regime I have invented. A regime lets people securely and directly cast their weekly vote on policies that shape their lives, all from the comfort of their windows, balconies, and mailboxes. It cuts out the middleman—politicians—and finally puts an end to the outdated relic of Greek invention: Representative Democracy.

Reforming the Subway System

MTA logo rebranding to "MTAI" with the slogan "A-to-B Artificially Intelligent," replacing "If You See Something, Say Something"

On a state level, I will reform the subway system with a top-to-bottom overhaul, reimagining transit and restructuring the MTA. The rebranding will include the new slogan: "A-to-B Artificially Intelligent," signaling the innovative sustainability ahead.

Note: The trains and interiors shown in this section are not my original designs. My concepts, which will be unveiled at a later date, are unique and unprecedented, created exclusively for New York City. Specific details are withheld as a strategic decision, leveraging my expertise in intellectual property management. When the time comes, the innovative and creative vision for the new transit system will exceed expectations.

The Bathroom Problem

The greatest city on Earth cannot provide toilets for its residents, much less for the visitors of the upcoming 2026 World Cup. Access to a toilet is a basic human right, yet in this city, you must buy something to use their deplorable restrooms.

CityBath: The Dollar Toilet

CityBath render: a self-contained, patented public toilet unit connecting to a fire hydrant, priced at one dollar

New Yorkers will finally breathe a sigh of relief, seeing an efficient, cost-effective, and easy-to-install solution: I have invented an easy-to-install toilet that only requires placement near a fire hydrant and a sewage system. The invention features a filtration mechanism for the SSS (stormwater sewer system), but not for combined ones, the CSOs. I call this project "Infrastructure-less CityBath," or as New Yorkers will call it, the "Dollar Toilet."

CityBath 2: I'm a man of innovation, and there is always something better. CityBath 2 improves on the original design while tackling concerns about homeless individuals using it as shelter. I'm committed to finding better solutions for homelessness, but CityBath isn't intended for short or long-term living. As for withholding certain details, it's a strategic decision based on my expertise in intellectual property management.
