Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 I think the least popular thing I'd do as president, would be the execution of media pundits
I really think that this would be one of the most effective ways of fixing some major American issues
politics

without going full Hitler
become president
execute all politicians
resign
term limits and financial reform is the long-shot of what is actually possible
a successful president could probably also weaken political parties pretty hard
there's no downside to term limits
also (unintuitively) expand the number of seats in congress
the less celebrity status they all have, the better
byproduct is, you also get more localized representation
and it weakens political parties somewhat
Back to the Roman system. You get a summons, you are not a congressman for 4 years
its like longer jury duty
term limits unironically help though
The roman system would be neat, because ex-presidents and ex-speakers of the house remain in power for life
since the only person you do not want to be a politician is someone who wants to be a politician
I think another easy fix is a bloodline limit
1 person per linage in congress/power per 3 generations
no more career politician families lines
day 1
He would make Canada a state (not day 1)
PR, DC, Guam, Maratania, and US Virgin Islands
+5 states
the federation of friendly nations of w/e its called would also be able to join Maratania whenever they wanted
since they're basically territories already
I think that's Palau, Samoa, Naru, and Micronesia
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 I think the least popular thing I'd do as president, would be the execution of media pundits
Least popular? I think it'd be the most
as soon as DC or PR break the 50-star thing
I think people will be un-mindfucked about it
and will be open to adding more or subdividing states
first change is the hardest
more after that literally does not matter
I don't even think 50 is that great of a number
add states, remove states
oh spoooky
hear me out
they agree to add states, but because they insist on 50, they do a draft vote to remove states
top 50 (including the non states that should be states) voted stay, all others are no longer states
Dialga, idk if you'll find this interesting
but I'm also in favour of autonomous city states that function as states
that would be a major change
but I think the 10 largest cities in the US should function autonomously, and have their own reps
yeah
(10 is a arbitary number)
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak top 50 (including the non states that should be states) voted stay, all others are no longer states (edited)
relegation league, lol
I like that, make it more of a duel though
I can't believe Spooky goes down as the president to start global warming via the polution machine, but also saves the rainforest (the trees are old)
have them select champions who fight in an arena
Pika, I think I've said, I 100% would be the president who passes the most eco BS
because I care 0% about any of that shit nor think it matters
so that would be the go-to political trade I'd keep making
you, give me economic concessions and tax rewrites
I, give you happy trees
Replying to Mnemotoad #mnemotoad CO² is unironically good for us because it makes things greener, we just need to use DDT again to kill mosquitoes and ticks because the findings about it's toxicity was bullshit to make worse pesticides
Multiple people in my research group are working on Mostito population control problems
I like the current approach
releasing sterile males that when they mate with females make them sterile
Current research is into optimal ways to do it (to minimize time until the population is under control and cost of doing it at the same time)
because of this, mosquito control happens to be something I know more about than most people
you can be my chief mosquito expert in my cabinet Pika
Thanks
Can I also be telecomunications expert spooky
my PhD aligns with that
