Things I Would Do as President of the US (not boring)
1. Aggressively weaponize immigration. Just brain drain the world as aggressively as possible. You're 24 yo estonian with a PHD in materials science? Congrats ur a citizen in 7-10 business days. You like baseball now.
2. Stop destabilizing Latin American countries and over throwing their elected leaders (slightly boring)
I feel like our LatAm foreign policy is just really, really stupid. With the right partners we could make a few mfg hubs to displace imports from China immensely
3. 20x the price of helium
The US is the source of almost all of the world's helium and the strategic reserve has been mismanaged. Sorry, kids, no more birthday balloons I'm trading it for rare earth metals as a flex
4. Separating the agency thst promote US crops from the agency that recommends diet because BIG CORN AND SOY HAVE A STRANGLEHOLD ON YHE AMERICAN DIET AND I WILL NOT LET THAT STAND
5. Begin heavily investing in West Africa and not standard World Bank Austerity shit that just starves people but actually seeking to provide material transformation to relevant port cities as a future source of goods and immigrants.
6. In pursuit of party unity, I agree that illegal immigration is bad and vow to arrest anyone who employs an illegal immigrant for depriving Americans of jobs. I start with raids at every farm during harvest but only arrest owners. This leaves many people with pikachuface.jpg
7. I wipe out all student loans. Boom. Then make student loans dischargeable during bankruptcy, redo all federal SL to be discharged after 10y, and make schools pay for any discharged from their school
Wanna have a 240k basket weaving program? Good luck getting it back.
8. Single Payer Healthcare, not because I care about health, but because the idea of hurting insurance companies brings me incredible joy.
9. Build housing. Just like a lot of it. I use the FBI to bully NIMBY local governments.
10. Begin implementing a ton of food health reforms, specifically banning like 45+ known toxic compounds in food and bustin heads when companies are caught. Example - toxic levels of lead in a ton of spices, chlorinated chicken, bromide, Olestra, etc
Extremely boring
11. Audit the richest people, starting from the top down. I personally slap any irs agent who proposes we Audit someone making 35k.
I dunno there's likely more but my manic phase ended good luck
With how popular this got I actually went to go review global helium production and see that Qatar has rocketed upward and gazprom plants coming online should reduce shortage leaving price controls by US likely ineffective. id still stop the sale of the reserve and change strats
Alright because this got popular I went and looked up global helium production and Qatari production plus 2 new Gazprom plants coming online means US no long controls global market so price setting has less power. I'd still reform control of the helium stockpile and stop the sale

As I spend time with my elderly parents, I am made acutely aware of a few things:
1. Prioritize your health over everything. People are 'healthy' until one day they're not and it seems impossible to get back. Being trapped in a decrepit body is an early Hell.
2. If you don't stay curious, you will spend the rest of your days rotting away in front of a TV with nothing to talk about, lost in a new world, surrounded by things you don't understand.
3. Your friends will move or die and relationships will fade. If you dont continuously make friends and tend to your existing relationship garden, you will end your life desperate and alone.
