Recently, while watching FOX News along with the message post content here at ET by certain members... People including those that say they're Christians openly laugh and/or make fun of old politicians falling, stuttering in speeches, or mumbling incoherently for a few minutes...sometimes these people even become filled with anger at these politicians. This is a side of America I've never seen before involving the way we react to people after the person had a health scare or incident in front of a camera. In addition, I notice many of these falls and/or neurological problems that did not occur in front of a camera...they go unreported. Thus, the public is not aware of maybe a growing health problem that could result in a heart attack, stroke, or death for the politician. Yesterday, I saw Mitch McConnell freeze on TV. It was strange to watch because it reminded me of my grandfather doing the same a few times several months prior to dying from a massive stroke. So far, I've not seen any laughter, political jokes, or anger at Mitch by any mainstream media or so-called Christians here at elitetrader.com https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/27/politics/mitch-mcconnell-multiple-falls-this-year/index.html https://www.foxbusiness.com/politic...ss-conference-constitutional-amendment-needed https://www.foxnews.com/politics/mcconnell-jokes-freezing-up-tells-biden-sandbagged wrbtrader
I see old politicians as selfish. They don't want to let go, don't wish to step aside to allow the young generation a chance. It's like old people and housing, many are smug they own their houses outright, even happy prices are rising. Do they give a fuvk about the younger generation? Only as far as their own kids and fuvk the rest. These old bastard politicians need to help others takeover, but politicians are what they are, inbred selfish and greedy, never satisfied they have enough.
Personally I would prefer to be an emperor. Firstly because I would be able to rule over all the vassal kings (and queens) and secondly because I would like to wear a toga. Arguably I could wear a toga without actually being an emperor, but it wouldn’t feel quite right. I think I’d make a pretty good emperor in the scheme of things, building hospitals, schools and roads etc. I wouldn’t persecute any minorities and everyone would be ok (as long as they agreed with me obviously). Plus every one hundred days I would declare 10 days of games which would include sporting and trading competitions, and maybe some eating contests too. I would also have a decent succession plan so that on my demise the empire did not fragment.
Depends how you define "much". I probably spend more time thinking about: 1 terraforming and colonising far off planets, and; 2 genetically engineering a superior species of ant that could be deployed to execute various important but dangerous tasks, and; 3 food. So at most the dictator fantasy is fourth on my list. Hope that answers your question.
