    Owning a toothbrush. I’d have only one national toothbrush that everyone has to share. You’ll have to register on a waitlist so that you can only brush your teeth a maximum of once a month.

    I’d ban my enemies from holding political office, obviously. Don’t need capitalists biting at my heels and plotting my downfall.

    Might ban them from living too, depends on how much of a threat they are.

    I would ban privatized public services and charging users money at the point of service for said public services. Healthcare, school, transportation, water, communications… All free and all purged of private capital.

    Everyone drives on the left from now on, and red means go.

    On a serious note, I would do what the other poster suggested. Ban private healthcare, schools, universities, mass transport, electricity, gas, water and internet.

    I would ban or at least dismantle the capitalist mode of factory farms.

    Raising animals for meat for slaughter would most likely unfortunately have to exist for a long amount of time, and possibly never completely done away with. But I think that animals raised for slaughter deserve a much stronger and official “bill of rights” of sorts, outlawing animal abuse in all its forms and guaranteeing animals a very good life before a humane death.

      I would just ban cars. Start working on a network of local light rail and high speed long distance passenger rail. If you cant get to where you need to go via train, then you have to move out of your exburb enclave

        Ah well I’m a bit of a centrist. I only want to ban like 95% of cars. I like that energy though!

        How “local” are we talking? Idk what the situation is where you are geographically, but in my region (in Russia, for context) there’s plenty of small towns and villages with no railway connection. People go by intercity bus or by car (guess which one’s more convenient). Do you put a railway station at every single village? Or do you tell them to “move out”?

          I don’t know, man. I can’t claim to know your struggle, especially since you’re on the other side of the world from me. I interpreted the prompt to how would I run my country and that country is the US. I live in a positively sprawling metro area, with no mass transit at all; You could spend 3 or so hours crossing it at freeway speeds, and even just going to the club is a half hour drive (or ridiculous rent). I work with a vulnerable population (the disabled), and literally their primary barrier to care/ work is transportation. If you don’t have a car, your center of gravity shifts. Meanwhile, my area is defined by inner city poverty vs rich white people to who pushed further and further out from the city as black people also flowed out to the “near suburbs” in the 80s and 90s.

          I’m not here saying that different regions or places can make better use of it, Im just saying, within the parameters of the prompt, in my place, the automobile and automobile infrastructure has been used, extremely effectively, as tool of segregation and for the enforcement of inequality.

    Can I say subwoofers and speakers over 6w? Not a complete ban. More of a restraining order. No subwoofers or >6w speakers allowed within 300m of a mattress or 500m if it’s open space.
