If You Became King of The World

If You Became King of The World

If You Became King of The World, what would be your very first order of business? Think King GB would get rid of all
processed food with package labels containing words he wasn't able to pronounce correctly. How about King You?

My first move would be to step down.

It is an inhuman task. People weren't able to rule comparatively samll empires.

The layers between the "King of teh world" and the ordinary citizen would just do as they please (same as now).

Note: Please read the key noun as gender inclusive, 'If You Became Queen of The World... How about Queen You?'

My first act would be to replace the lies of evil-lution in school textbooks with the truth of creation and intelligent design.

My first order of business would be to get all the bitches back in the kitchen where they belong. Making me a sandwich.

I would get out more if I were you; watch some TV or something at least.

With all the hunger in the world, the issues of food security, farmers' access to water, sky high food prices, polluted land, toxins & pharmaceuticals in the food chain, children with malnutrition etc. I think my very first order of business on the 'food' front would be something to do with the world's actual serious problems rather than attempting to make some sort of self-regarding affected fuddy-duddy navel-gazing gesture about the labelling on processed food.

What exactly would be your first step there?

Stuff reaffirming traditional land rights for rural communities, protected access to water originating from land upstream, restrictions on foreign ownership of land used for industrial style food production for export back to the owners' first world market while local [developing world] food security is undermined. Stuff like that.

Grampy Bobby's OP reminded me of these 'First World Problems' that someone once sent me...

My hand is too fat to shove into the Pringles container so I am forced to tilt it.

The Domono's Pizza tracker is not working, now I don't know when to put on my pants.

My laptop battery is low, but the charger is over there.

I had too much food for lunch and now I am tired.

And so on.

Second, I'd motivate learning with local/state (not federal) budget tuition funds for competitive classroom excellence beginning in high school. Third (in the playful spirit the thread's intended) we would all chip in as able for the installation of Free Overhead Beer and Ale Pipes in the Local Pubs. Fourth, Red Hot Pawn would be asked to lower its age minimum to five. Greenpawn34 would hold classes Saturday afternoons.

Feel free to try to micro-manage everyone's response; it wouldn't be one of your threads otherwise.

No worries, F M. You can reign as king in your world and I'll wear a tipsy crown in mine. Then, All Members of (and subscribers to) the Human Race may decide where to reside. Annualy, Ponderable could take a census of both population and relocations between these two and other worlds in which other RHP Members were King or Queen. GB's World would warmly welcome all Patzers, Seekers, Lovers, Poets and Clowns.

Yours was such a pampered, vapid, parochial, 'first world' suggestion [while referring to "the world"], it was crying out to be kicked into touch. Don't take it personally. Just try to enter into the spirit of things. 🙂
