If I Were Making the Grand Decisions…

Oh wouldn’t that be a grand place, if indeed I did control the world. Let’s just imagine it for a moment.

I would make universal health care for everyone. I’m not sure how it would be funded, but co-pays would be reduced to $5 a visit for all doctors visits, specialist or not. There would be a fund to donate money for those who do not have the $5 and for the generosity of others, it would be a tax deduction.

I would increase the road repairs to needed areas, such as pot holes that you loose your entire car in. I would decrease the ridiculous and continuous construction on I-70, especially from Columbus to Indiana. I don’t think it is ever orange barrel free.

I would commission a competition for the creation of a material in which roads could be created and would be resistant to ice. Maybe some kind of built in heating element that would be turned on and off—like my electric blanket maybe. This would reduce the number of car accidents, reduce the amount of insurance used for these accidents, and keep commerce moving at a normal rate, with few delays.

I would move the world to a 4 day work week. More time should be put into fun and life enjoyment. Workers would be productive when at work knowing they have more free time. Those who did not perform up to par would be gone, eventually they would figure it out or live on the streets.

I would reduce public assistance, but increase educational training, and education to job opportunities. There would be a time limit on how long assistance could be used by those who do indeed need it.

I would make daylight start at 6am regardless of the time of year and sunset at 9pm regardless of the time of year. Ok, so I likely could not control this, but I would make me happy.

Ah, what a world it would be.
