As I hear of all the turmoil in the world, whether it be financial markets, lack of health care, lack of human dignity, wars, politics, or simple disagreements among people...I typically hear people asking, "Why doesn't the government fix this?" There are many different contributing units in society such as government, business, and religion among others. But none of these will ever give us what we need to fix the problems of society. In order to fix society, we need to fix the most basic element or unit of that society, which is the family. A strong family unit is the most basic unit of society, without which, no other unit of society be it government, business, or religion, can flourish.
To that end I am issuing this new mandate: Here to fore, the people of America will be limited to a work week consisting of five, six hour days. This will provide two hours more each day for families to interact with one another. It will lessen the income of everyone so there will be less to spend, but again, that will give us the opportunity to get back to some of the family activities where we are actually interacting, bonding, and enjoying one another's company. This should also foster an improvement in priorities and help us all remember what is really most important in life. Hopefully more basic morals and values can be instilled in us as a people. Families will be stregnthened, which will stregnthen individuals, which will give us better leaders in government, business, and religion, and thus our society will be stregnthened.
As a side benefit, more job positions will be made available to complete the tasks that would have been accomplished in the work hours we will be losing. This drop in unemployment will again allow for more families to provide for themselves and become stronger family units.
Happy familying,
The King
