Give me the US for 4 to 6 years with absolute control I can solve most of the problems here.
I see where you're going with that (in minecraft) but when I suspend the income tax for 10 years and capital gains for 15 except for any business with a net revenue of over $1 billion per year those effects are going to take time to work through the economy. Then there is going to be some other programs like "the deportation force" which will need to be recruited for, trained, and implemented. A new legal framework to fast track the execution of pedophiles, CP networks, and sex traffickers.
You can't do all that in two weeks.
Genuinely asking, do you really think you could fix it?
Provided I had a loyal military and police force needed to "remove certain groups of individuals, others are put in front of a firing squad, etc, in mindcraft" then yeah. I think I could get this ship back on course.
I don’t think I could fix it but I’d set it right then just let the mayhem sort itself out.
Mainly I’d just set it back to constitution pre amendment 16.
Bill of rights amendments for no education involvement laws. Another for no medical involvement laws including certifications etc. And another will have to be included for the modern technological age, probably something like all communication must be government grade encrypted or something. Basically an amendment to ensure non surveillance by ANYONE and protect free speech on the net.
To piggyback on your ideas, I like the idea of a type of Internet Bill of Rights. One that would classify personal information as owned by the individual.
For example, let's say you sign up for an email account. Every user would be given two choices, free in exchange for your personal data, or a paid fee.
Right now, people have no privacy rights unless you use encryption, and even then, most encryption software has backdoors of sorts. If you like free stuff in exchange for your data, great, but if not? What are you supposed to do?
I think that data-mining users should be fine, but only with their consent, and they should have options to buy out of whatever their data is worth.
This sets up an equivalent exchange. The more valuable your data, the more you can buy with it, or the more it would cost to protect it.
We definitely need to go back to basics on a lot of laws. Things have become overly bloated and need a robust pruning.
