A Quick Note To My Dear Son Jonathan Leiper

Darling boy, your cantankerous and bribe-refusing father, is now mulling running for President of the Republic of Ghana, in December 2020, oooo. Amanfuo, the die is cast, ooooo. Slogan: People and planet. Cool.

Mission: Get the Bank of Ghana (BoG) to open digital accounts for all Ghanaian citizens above 16, and credit each account with Ghana Digital Currency (GDC) 250,000 - as direct-citizen-bailouts to purchase homes with: as a sure-fire way to kickstart the national economy, after Ghanaian herbalists finally find a cure for COVID-19, and we (at long last!) abandon all the nonsensical measures taken thus far as whistling-in-the-dark protection-from-COVID-19-policies, just because precious White people still cannot find a cure for it. Cool.

Naturally, as a firm believer in the incentive-inducing-and-initiative-inspiring powers of a low tax regime, for both individuals and enterprises, tax identification numbers will be mandatory for all the aforementioned BoG digital account holders, oooo, Massa. Cool.

Environmental policy: Shoot illegal sand winners, illegal loggers and illegal gold miners on sight - to protect our forests from greedy criminal-types, and ensure constant availability of potable water nationwide. Ditto, ensure the availability of fresh oxygen-laden air, nationwide, at all material times. Ghanafuo, munpe waiy3, na mu pe dien, koraaaa? Cool.
