Biggest Priorities for you as President/PM

[DarkRange55]

Congratulations! You have just caused yourself to become elected to the highest office in your country. Now, Mr./Madam President, what are your top 3-5 priorities?

The War on Drugs? Corruption? Healthcare? Radicalism? Price inflation/wage stagnation? Mental health? National defense? I'm just tossing some generic ideas out there.

What would you do as president to help fix these issues?

1. Have a panic attack.

2. Arrange meetings with people in all the specialist fields who (should) already know what they're doing.

3. Lay down firm principles. Make it clear I won't tolerate corrupt practices. Get rid of shady looking people.

4. Figure out what needs proritising and work out budgets accordingly.


I doubt I could be an effective leader though. I'd maybe give it my best shot but in this world, I wonder if a leader or country could even survive if it didn't partake in backhanded deals and corruption. I expect it would be so depressing to actually witness all that goes on first hand and to have to try and negotiate a way through. Can you have a truly moral leader in this world? That tries to benefit all and exploit none? Capitalism doesn't work like that. So- isn't the question more- How good are you at balancing being ruthless and fair?

I don't want to be in charge. There are not enough people (by miles) who want a better world for everyone, so it would be nearly impossible to fix most of the things that need to be fixed.
