First 5 things you would do if you were U.S president.

Post by Jebus »

or at least try to do.

1. Remove subsidies on meat and dairy.
2. Initiate a nation wide education campaign on the dangers of animal protein and the health benefits of a plant based diet
3. Cease the role of world police and instead encourage the U.N to take that role
4. Set the goal of putting a human on Mars before 2025
5. Replace the imperial system with the metric system
How to become vegan in 4.5 hours:
1.Watch Forks over Knives (Health)
2.Watch Cowspiracy (Environment)
3. Watch Earthlings (Ethics)
Congratulations, unless you are a complete idiot you are now a vegan.

1. Ring up my buddy Kim Jong-un and set the course for the U.S. and the DPRK to become greatest allies
2. Legalize weed
3. Give the means of production to the workers
4. Ban meat eating and send anybody caught eating meat or animal products to a gulag
5. Make it legal for a cat to run for president

Number 2, I agree, although not a top 5 priority. 1,4, and 5 you are probably trying to be funny but you are not.

My legislative priorities would be (in no particular order):
1. Basic income
2. Greenhouse gas tax* that feeds into the basic income
3. Massive deployment of nuclear power in order to get the US to have a 0 carbon energy grid in 15 years at most.
4. Implementing a scientific policy development program, where proposed policies are tested at small scale before national implementation
5. Huge electoral reforms.**

*Which would include meat, methane would be costlier than Co2.
**Not exactly sure of the specifics, but it would certainly include getting rid of gerrymandering and first past the post voting.

1 I genuinely believe in. 4 and 5 I apologize you did not find funny, although on 4 I was half serious.

Agree with all of these, especially No.5. I would probably implement a Proportional Representation system like the one they have in Germany.
