So much for pulling rank

What happens when one of them doesn’t like their commanding officer? Do they ask demand to speak to a supervisor?

When this first came out, I was like: then, you don’t know me that well.

Oh that reminds me of something funny my old psychiatrist told me: when people complain that everybody hates them, he responds: how can that be true? You haven’t even met everyone yet!

On most platforms you can type ’ pray’ and it will give this one: 🙏 for high five: ✋.

“If it is too hard to cope with failure, how can you ever be able to handle success?” -Unknown.

Not lesser known but my favorite: Gary Larson’s The far side always gave me a chuckle.

But look at the bright side. All of my promises will be kept. No one has to perish. After all, if I can’t refuse of course I am going to make it so they can’t either.

I would promise some pretty decent things. Then, secretly, hire a “shady” group of people (in exchange for loads of money) to design and implement a device that would eradicate the world via nuclear chain reaction, lock the device and give me control so that only I can activate it, give me the ability to set a trigger function so if i did die instantly, it would automatically activate.

Basically blackmail them into this approval rating BUT follow through with every promise. Which goes:

Divide the world into certain “geo-categories” where they will be transported and accommodated based on their values and governmental/economic ideals. Of course, this isn’t perfect. There are possibly infinite combinations of “rights” people want today. Most would be modeled after existing countries. You can pick a country and move there. Any countries that have very similar governing styles would be linked in sub-governing bodies but not physically linked.

Most places would be complete with freedoms, but instead of democracies, they would apply to move to another jurisdiction that supports their views. Not forced but given financial accommodations and means to do so. I would appoint the leaders and from them on they will be voted on for the most part.

Vote for me: you get pretty much any freedoms, liberties, and rights. Equality and equity. Those who really want to live in a dictatorship sub-government would just move there, but I doubt anyone truly wants that. Other than that, I wouldn’t control much just oversee every country’s actions and maybe intervene in cases of natural disaster and to block proposals of war.

• because of the elimination of economy types, all current money would be converted into a worldwide currency. No income tax. Everyone who worked would accumulate “points” and spend them. Trade would be free and worldwide, no tax whatsoever needed. No need for gold to back anything up if all countries will now be awarded these points based on the debt they are owed. Prices of common necessities and commodities needed for life would have price caps. No limit on how low a price can be. Monopolies can exist with a requirement to donate substantial amounts to charities and a fund to be given to a jurisdiction’s government to find a business to become new competition which would then eliminate the monopoly. So, the incentive to not monopolize would be that they would have to fund any future competition for a while until things get closer to a balance.

Healthcare is provided as a percentage of income rather than any fixed rate. This allows medical professionals to still be paid efficiently, but everything is affordable. Everything can be turned into a percent based payment plan and based on household income. All factors of monthly expenses: bills, food, etc will be considered. So, if you are injured, you can’t afford that vacation anymore because that isn’t a necessary expense and some of that will be factored into payment plans.

Everyone’s credit is converted into a percent of 100. 100 percent being that they always pay on time-- including utility bills. Anyone with bad or negative credit or any hits to their credit will be reset to zero. To build back to 100 would take an average of a year. All debt will be awarded to collectors and debtors as points with no loss to those who owe. They would then be reset to zero credit. New debt would work the same as today but must be paid back as a percentage from now on and cannot be a financial burden or it will be paused. Wages will be garnished based on a percent in this manner. In other words polel will always be able to afford any basic living expenses. Debt does not include mortgages, or loans to be forgiven but converted into a percentage payment plan. If someone accrued many types of percentage based payment plans for debt, such as medical, home, car etc, it will be calculated only after basic expenses are paid. (Housing, utilities, food, transportation to work, school for children)

Money will be made by working, selling things or awarded in cases of disability or retirement. All retirement ages would be the same–60 yrs old.

All businesses’ worth will be converted into these global points. (Name of currency to be determined)

Basically everyone and every entity’s wealth will be the same just in a universal currency. Probably the currency unit that is worth the most every thing would be measured against and converted and then all converted to this universal one.

Laws will be changed based on common sense of leaders which can be freely elected for one year at a time for all positions and most countries. If you create a dictatorship, the laws have to be fair and cannot restrict travel.

Rights to bear arms would be upheld on a condition of no criminal history. All would have trackers that are designed to emit a signal and if broken (and no longer emitting) would flag a system and would be confiscated. Any public areas would alert a system if any armed individual enters that area. This is to stop sub-governments from initiating any corrupt control acts. Police would be government funded, require yearly license renewals and an annual mental health and competency test. Free of charge.

All education would include funding based on a fee that is also a percentage, so you won’t be broke. Language classes for immigrants would be free.

Since all money would be digital and points based, it could be given infinitely by the government. Trade would be free. A country would export and automatically get points from the other government without the other government losing money. There would be no way to just give money for no reason. It would either be from trade, work, or selling a product or service based on an unhackable machine locked with the security of the global government, me. (A bio key, perhaps)

This would require a little extra trust between sub-governments to not exploit the system and freely give points( for example based on a trade scam where a country could set a price and the government can just give points for it without losing money) it will be audited monthly by use of an advanced AI algorithm. All trade will be based on demand (and supply obviously).

If something is rare, there would be a price cap increase for trade.

So, you are making an observation that money here is less valuable, right? Well, the government can’t give any money without a justification for it being earned. Also there will be import caps based on supply and population, so no one buys out an entire country’s monthly export supply.

I may have overlooked some flaws but it will evolve.

Don’t vote for me: RIP earth.

For me it’s not the microplastics, it’s just bad genetics lol.

The current studies are trying to say that the microplastics are causing length to be shorter, lol.

My point was that they can work, some of them have under the table jobs to begin with and they are abusing the system. Ss will occasionally audit and ask for random bank statements anyway. Not my business but it is the government’s if the money comes from them (technically we who work and pay into it anyway). They don’t give the money to pay for weed they give it to support you-- barely.

But how is access to medical and mental health treatment and options for it? Is there a ton of variety?

Seems about equal to Social security disability but, SS is worse because they don’t really tailor your payments to your housing expenses and needs. If they did, the government might even save money. I know people around me that just use most of their check for weed. If it was guaranteed to only cover your bills with a smaller spending allowance and they asked for monthly bank records to prove you were using government money wisely, there would be less freeloaders and more reserve for those who retire and have paid into it. More people who proved they could work, or who abused the system would be called out and forced to work, and those with true disabilities could stay on it.

Does UK have any social security disability or retirement other than what is relied upon by an employer? Just wondering.

Yes. And they have hand portfolios.

“Oh, these are wonderful! Look at those finger proportions! Just exquisite! I am calling them in right away to see those fine digits in person!”

So, no one in those countries became homeless and bankrupt because of an illness and lost their job? I am asking genuinely because I wouldn’t know.

There are some that do allow it. Ideogram’s image upload used to be on the free plan but now it is 16/month. But for free, you can use Ideogram for celebrities. There are also some NSFW ones too with free plans. I did your simulation on Leonardo AI, but it only returned images of Che. To get the same effect as his pictures, describe what he was wearing, and the background in most of the images with Luigi as the subject. Leonardo gives 150 free credits which can be ~15 to 30 prompts per day depending on which models you use.

Here’s Aubrey Plaza as a Smurf (it is the closest one, lol, AI is still a toddler of a technology):

If you get a pic of him, you can use an image to image AI gen for it.

If you decide to stay with T mobile, they have a bring your own phone option. You can find a deal for that model elsewhere, and it would be unlocked. Then you can just buy or transfer the SIM card on their end.
