If I was a President

[warpus]

I don't know if the purpose of this is transparency or entertainment, but in either case I'm fully on board with it.

It will make the U.S. and the planet a better place and we'll have more uprisings against governments and less BS. And comedy. Win/win.

Maybe he should also ban cognitive dissonance?

Unfortunately impossible, as was my first post.

 

[Leoreth]

Well it would have made your first post impossible, yeah.

That would be for the best.

Well you wouldn't do it by banning things that you personally dislike or don't agree with. If something is blatantly wrong like geocentrism then you don't need to ban it because an educated population can see it for themselves. However if you ban feminism then you're just getting rid of things you have a gripe with which runs counter to promoting intellectual honesty. You can't be intellectually honest if you're not allowed to explore the other half of the story.

An educated population or an "educated" (read: propagandized) population?

Sabotage. I'd do everything in my power to obstruct the pile of federal agencies who fall under the Executive aegis. At every press conference, when people asked about my agenda or etc, I'd simply reply that it is the Congress's job to make laws, God help us, and merely my job to carry them out. Every time. If it were possible I'd actually abolish various executive agencies, but I'd probably just have to settle for sabotage...delaying funding approval, procrastinating on filling vacant posts, reducing salaries to such a degree that no one would want to do the work, that sort of thing.

Could you just do the domestic spying stuff?



So, with respect to the topic, I'm really tempted to do a super-detailed, itemized list. However, this short list should suffice in the meantime: heavy electoral reform including an extra few hundred representatives and anti-gerrymandering, a heavily progressive tax structure, worker-ownership and better labor rights/protection, significant climate and ecological action, making healthcare a basic right, cutting the war on drugs crap and other justice reform, axing the eff out of the NSA and domestic spying, kill corporate personhood with fire, maybe some more radical shifts in welfare like a citizen's dividend and/or guaranteed minimum income models, and what I consider good financial/regulatory reform on stuff like student debt and consumer protections, etc.

Probably left a few things out.

I'd prefer kicking Benjamin Franklin over and over for all his quotes that are now being misused.

An outright ban on these so called foreign 'healthcare assessment' companies handling disability claims in the UK. What is the point in having our own NHS / Doctors if they cant make such decisions?
