Monday morning you wake up to a commotion outside your door. There's a bunch of military guys and Secret Service Guys and they tell you that for the next 30 days you are the CEO of this country. You have absolute power to do anything. You can even fire everyone in Govt from the President to Congress on down. You have no limits.
Two questions here:
Would you accept or go back to bed?
If you accept what would you do with this power?
If you hail from another country the question is the same.
I'd accept the job. :beer2:
1. Mandate that ALL homes contain a bottle of Pinaud, bought from my warehouse supply's.
2. Anyone caught with a Gold Dollar Razor must wear Lilac Vegetal the remainder of the 30 days.
3. Ban Sharptonn from honing anyone else's razor,,, give us all a break.
4. I would mandate that Utopian, T.C., Wullie, Tom, Cudarunner & Jimmy attend Ballet & Dance classes 4 hours a day, weekends included.
I'll think of some more in a few ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,:beer2:
I'm not sure that my tutu fits any more.
I know this outfit doesn't fit, and those heels hurt my feet.
Attachment 239261
Oh my !! Not sure I should hit the "Like" button for that. :rofl2:
Definitely not. Really the thing I didn't like about the outfit the most was the black nail polish!
Anyway, as El Supremo, I could wear anything I want.
I wondered about you, now I know, not that there is anything wrong with that.........:p
NO HIRLAU< DON'T hit the like button. YUK!!
I'd accept and start Hanging Criminal politicians for Treason, somebody has to do it and I'll work for FREE.
I wonder if those ballet slippers come in a size 12.5 and in Camo? Tc
I don't know about the slippers,Quote:

I bet it would be a perfect concealed outfit, cause if your looking at me that hard to find it, I worry about you!:nono: Tc
Scrap the size 14 US heels for me, I end up being 6'7" and far to smashing.
If I had the power, PayPal must be accepted everywhere, and on-line coupons would never expire.
Also, BIGO would be mandated, and with Hirlau as my VP - Pinaud will be North America's Brand Splash along with mandatory shaving on Fridays.
Edited to add: I'd have to spend some time formulating policy around W&B's razors, may have to confiscate a majority of them. All Dubl Ducks would be required to be turned in for inspection to Chevhead and returned or kept on his decision.
Ohh...and Bieber stays in the US....:D
Ok, I'll bite.
I would accept.
Mandate two year term limits. Period. Two years only. No two years of one and then the other. No more pensions anymore for Representatives and Congress. Stop all previous pensions for the same. They must use the same Healthcare available to everyone else, on their own dime. No more extra benefits not afforded to everyone else. As public Servants, they cannot be any wealthier when they leave office, as when they entered.
Police and Secret Service can only use the same kind of weapons afforded to the general public.
No more Lobbying.
Slowly bring all our military forces and equipment back home. We will not protect other countries that will not spend their own treasure to protect themselves. We will not have any more of our servicemen die for any country or peoples who are not willing to die for it themselves!
No more dollars to countries that hate us.
Balanced budget! No spending beyond what comes in. Period. No more borrowing. Pay down debt.
Internal Revenue Service. You're outa here. Begone!
Department of Education. Gone. (Do you realize how much money they suck out of the coffers? And they do not really physically educate anyone.) Look it up. Pretty please.
10% Flat Tax.
If you are healthy, you work! No more Freeloaders. If you don't work, you don't eat!
If you get Federal money and food for your children, and you get pregnant, you don't get more money. You will be given the option of sterilization though!
I would have thirty days so I'm sure I could think of more. Ya think?
Mike
I'm fine with all of that, but there was no mention of Pinaud and tutus.
Okey-dokey! FREE Pinaud of your choice for as long as needed. ;)Quote:

Nope. That's still covered. All security staff are required to wear lilac vegetal, so no one is willing to come near!Quote:

Oh, gosh, I could have fun with dreaming in this thread, but I'll stop here for now....

I'd sell the country. When you arrive in the U.S the sign would say "Welcome to Apple's America" Then I'd make everyone wear a mask to breath which would meter the air and they would have to pay for the air. If they cheat and try and take it off it would kill them.
Then I'd make everyone over 14 carry a gun. Not just 1 gun but 4 or 5 with around 300 rounds of ammo. After a few weeks they'll be begging to not carry and I'd charge for that too.
id accept cos like all political parties etc, once your in its hard to get you out
1st & most critical order would be to remove & ban all established religions
and only teach & enlighten every single person to the theory of "KAMA"
you reap what you sew,
Be Bad & only Bad things will happen to you
be good & good will come to you
Once everyone believes in & lives by the simple rules of KAMA everyone could have the opportunity to live in peace,
as the worlds belief system would be based on & encourage the good in people to prosper
& the idea of retribution for negative behaviors would keep all in check.
no other interpretations & twisting's of the belief system is left to fester
Good = Good
Bad = Bad simple
these are just my beliefs & YMMV

I have a couple more and then I'll probably stop:
In addition to creating division among the populace, hatred and mistrust of one's "fellow man", I know I would be victorious when public support of the rights of helpless animals would supersede support of the rights of helpless humans.
I wouldn't stop there though. I would implement a plan through media and education where I would manipulate each individual into feeling guilt for their very existence -- self hatred of sorts. This would help fill my coffers by eventually taxing their very breath.
Of course I would disarm the citizenry. That goes without saying. I love the idea of seizing property but realize that's a strong shift that would meet with great opposition, so I would have a genius plan to render more and more private property unusable, which would be beyond simple, since it would all be in the name of "the environment".
Oh, and "Bread and Circuses" has worked beautifully since the time of ancient Rome. So....as I mentioned before, but it's worth repeating: that plays right into my plan to get as many people on the dole as possible and encourage them to, rather than work, sit and watch the flat screen circus 24/7. Time tested and proven. Stick with what works!
Why would I do all these things? As Mike already pointed out.....I would COAST in those thirty days. I wouldn't have to lift a finger! I'd have the easiest job out there!

I hate to break it to you, Mate, but sounds like your plan would be to institute........a religion.Quote:
