If you ran the world, what is one thing you would decree/do/enact?

I would decree/enact that the pipsqueak in North Korea and his entire pipsqueak family would not wake up in the morning. . . by whatever means necessary.

Why would I decree, do, enact anything? If I did, how would I be different than every other person who seeks to decree, do, enact? Isn’t there a proverb that says to do nothing is to choose? Perhaps I can quote Bartleby the scrivener; “I would prefer not to.” The maximum amount of freedom for all by not decreeing, doing, or enacting anything.

Self censoring...let’s just say it involves Soros and all progressives and globalists.

Irradicate Islam and disarm every country except the US.

Fair comment. I was hesitant to ask ‘cause I don’t want kings and tyrants, but a lot of people fantasize “if I only were king...”

I’m not really sure what I would do myself.

Reminded of the song...

“I’d love to change the world...
...but I dont know what to do.”

Mine would probably be really tightening immigration...illegal and legal.

I’d get rid of the law mandating low-flow toilets.

Better yet, get rid of the law mandating low flow showerheads

“I’d get rid of the law mandating low-flow toilets.”

Oh, and I would declare that every human being has a natural right to firearms. World peace, blam. And the eradication of Islam would happen pretty quickly.

Lol. I always remember the commercial toilets in an old bldg I worked at in the 90s...a small child/pet would not have been safe. They were awesome. Huge sound and flushed for about 5 minutes...exaggerating on the latter, of course.

If you posted that comment to me just a few months ago, I wouldn’t have understood it.

Your question falls into the trap of believing there are the right people for a political job. Over the course of history, the number of right people in the job have been very, very few. As Milton Friedman says, the trick is getting the wrong people to do the right thing:

I would decree that any Religion or system claiming to be a Religion that either conscripts by force or threat of death or that punishes apostates of that religion with violence or death is not a Religion but a dangerous Cult and a Cancer upon humanity.

“No more Designated Hitter.”

May I add, no more inter-league play?

Good clip.

I wish we could figure out a way to do that.

Maybe Trump knows.
