Ruling the World

TheCatWoman

What would you do if you suddenly became empress/or of everything? Obviously we'd all stop wars, end world hunger etc etc, but what more personal things would you do?

I'd make us able to walk a mile in another persons shoes, so we'd get to know what it felt like to be NT and of course they would feel ours.

There are more personal things I'd like to be rid of like all members of the turnip family, BBQ's and people stating the bleeding obvious as though it's some sort of massive revelation.

I'd make shoe and clothing manufacturers make clothes and shoes in a wider range of sizes, shapes, colours and styles AND MOST IMPORTANTLY keep seeling jumpers althrough winter, and not just xmas jumpers, I want normal jumpers!

I'd make the internet work properly, like it used to, when you could search for something and actually get results matching your search criteria and not give you air fryers when you want wellingtons, stuff like that.

    A Billy says, ban social media. It brings 10% joy and 90% misery.

    I'd ban organised religion - faith / belief is fine but the organisations that feed off of it are almost entirely corrupt,

    I'd ban career politicians - make serving in politics a form of national service.

    Speaking of national service, I would make practical work experience mandatory for 14-18 year olds. Get them some skills that will be useful in the real world and get their noses out of their phones in the process.

    Early exposure to the harsher requirements of the working life should stop so much snowflakery in the workplace when they finally join it.

    I'm not saying to make their life misery but to make it clear that working isn't just about following your dream, doing good and being the star all the time. This stuff normally has to be earned through graft and sweat over time so unless you can identify your own route to this then know what you are getting yourself into.

    Focussing on manufacturing skills, using your hands (with tools) to create stuff and how to make stuff sustainable should bring back the focus to local manufacturing eventually and may help reinvent the home grown manufacturing base that has almost dissapeared.

    Bring in mandatory training for employers (especially the NHS) for all disabilities. This will include autism but should help with the detection and treatment for so many other issues as well.

    Shifting the spending focus from overseas aid to domestic aid would be on my list. Sort out more of the issues at home before worrying about the many, many overseas problems.

    This makes a good starting point.

    Good idea for a thread!

    This platform is technically a form of social media. Will it be included in your bans.

    I also find it ironic that you're complaining about 'snowflakes' but also requiring training on disabilities. A lot of people would consider understandings disabilities 'Wokeness' and that autistic people are just 'snowflakes'

    There is a big difference between those who play the victim (typically attention seekers) and helping professionals recognise where people do have something about them that has a real need to be dealy with in a different way.

    How about the younger staff who join but will not turn up to morning meetings on time because they "don't do mornings" Or when the staff don't want to work on a project because they don't think it matches their "energy"

    I don't see this forum as social media as much as a help centre. I don't participate in much of the social media elements as it holds little interest to me, but I guess if I were to become Emperor then I would shape this in my image and do away with the "what colour squirrels did you see today" sort of threads Wink
