America needs a King to allow it's citizens to sever themselves from their obsession with politics.
It's time to revisit the entire system of our Country's sacred  ideals of government which Americans uncritically worship as handed down to us by a wealthy elite group of enlightenment inspired 18th century Men.

America needs a philosopher King to allow it's citizens to sever themselves from their obsession with buying, selling and accumulating to allow themselves to hoard for retirement and to escape through travel and flight from reality and pursue easy living for years and years.

America needs an enlightened philosopher King/Preacher to synthesize Stoicism and all the major religious ideals into everyday language and everyday activities to teach the People to accept things as they are.

A  Queen would work just as well as a King; perhaps a  Queen whose noble husband died in glorious honorable battle a few months after the second child was born. A Queen who could protect Americans from the two approaching demons of negative interest rates and global warming that are coming to terrify the People. A Queen who lived a long long time, sprinkled reparations onto everyone for past injustices and always had our backs.
