2017 just after #45 became resident for life.

"Uncle Syd, Resident of the United States of America Inc."

I think I'd make a neat President. I mean now that we know 'anyone' can get the job.

Did I mention I'm seeing bleep at my peripheral vision?

...but I digress.

Anyhow yeah, I'd be a totally insane Boss of Bosses down in D.C. Unlike our current patient there I'd have fun with shit. First off, I'd have my new "Department of Happy Surprises" Fed-Ex everyone nice shit. For example, voter or not legal or not you get a birthday present...sorry no returns.

This neat-o Department will from time to give out goodies to everyone just because it's a nice thing to do...ya know how if ya was lucky, and had cool uncles or aunts that would just show up with neat shit for everyone...hey what's government for?

We'd have the damned Army Navy 'n Marines set up emergency field clinics/hospitals everywhere...I mean 'everywhere' because what is this shit we're in if not a National Health Disaster.

...Special attention to the Black Lung victims in mining country. The opioid addiction regions. Even more 'Special' attention to kids, and the elderly everywhere. 'Make like we was just nuked, and we're putting shit back together 'cause it ain't all that different from that now.

A "Department of Chefs"!

New chefs all over the place cooking up 5 Star meals for everybody that wants or needs 'em.. That, and delivered by our Army...heck if I was a kid, I'd join up to be part of this swell stuff. Imagine a big formation of them new giant ass "King Stallion" choppers landing in the middle of a forsaken 'Murican" town. That and keen to serve G.I.s pouring out to feed the hungry comfort the sorrowful and heal the wounded. "Protect and Serve" finally come to life!

Also perhaps an "Institute of Safe Desserts. This would in league with the UN. Basically, fixing it so creamy yummies won't give ya cancer diabetes or bad vibes. Figuring out how to make all the world's yummy stuff safe to eat...without killing the damned flavor! We went to the frigging Moon sent two Voyagers to the stars and have bleeping robots fucking around on mars...I think we could do this too.

All this in the first year or so...I mean besides building the "Selma March Woodstock Stonewall Monument", and all the usual crap of running an empire.

"Yes Uncle, but how we gonna pay for all this neat bleep?"

You kidding? Most of this swell action could be brought in for the cost of three or four Super Aircraft Carriers, and the proposed fleet of F-35's... which don't work. Which once classified documents from the Naval Proceedings tell us. Them new carriers would have a short life expectancy in an actual war with folks that can shoot back, say our pals Russia or China. In a 'real' war them big things live from hours to a week...max. So bleep that noise use the dough to have a good time healing caring feeding and giving out gifts to our fucked over masses.

Btw did I mention National Health Care, a vast national program of remedial studies to get everybody reading and learning particle physics. That, and Universal Higher Education a rebuilt infrastructure including Rollercoasters Water Parks Ferris Wheels, and the planting of new forests all over the place?

Of course solar panels on every house, and open space so everybody has all the free power they need. Then there's trams trollies, and electric cars. Also everybody that wants one gets a free high standard bike, and the lanes to ride them in.

All this, and tons more of simple things a society needs just to be civilized. There more complicated stuff like building starships, feeding the world, and jazz like that, we'll get back to you about that sort of thing.

Eh did I tell you all this?

No? Okay it'll all be in the next memo.

Love,

Uncle Syd Resident of the United States of America.

Eh...I'm not raving, am I?
