‘Below Our Bar’: Kaiserin Rejects Joke Bills for Serious Governance

President Kaiserin used a press conference to draw a sharp distinction between her vision of "serious politics" and what she called below-standard joke legislation like the "pipe down act" currently in Congress, while expressing optimism about an "unprecedented opportunity" for economic recovery. She also learned during the conference that lawyers had been excluded from Universal Basic Income payments in what she called "almost certainly a staff issue," and indicated openness to meeting with Alexandrian Prime Minister Dartanboy if he expresses interest.

President Kaiserin recently held a press conference where she answered questions on a wide variety of topics.

Desire for Political Seriousness

BetterCallPigeon of TPA News, questioned how the administration would balance “serious politics with good old-fashioned policymaking that benefit citizens” and “engagement of the player base through more fun.” The President stated, “I think you can do both,” but emphasized that she’s “more in favor of quote unquote serious politics.” She expressed concern about one of the joke bills in Congress, like the “pipe down act,” stating, “I think that’s a little below our bar. I think we can do better.” The President acknowledged that “fun events and fun role playing can be fun as well,” but she maintained her preference for seriousness in politics.

Economic Recovery Plans

Tortenwashere, also from TPA News asked the President about preventing future financial crises, to which she expressed optimism about rebuilding opportunities. “We have a pretty good and unprecedented opportunity to rebuild the economy,” she stated, acknowledging some structural issues within the banking system and suggesting the Department of Commerce could play a role in recovery efforts.

International Relations with Alexandria

Independent journalist JamesTheSlay, now with TRT, asked about a potential meeting with Alexandrian Prime Minister Dartanboy. President Kaiserin replied that she has no current plans for such a meeting but would be “happy to do so” if the Prime Minister expressed interest.

UBI Issue for Layers

MSMBS reporter Sophia raised concerns about lawyers being excluded from Universal Basic Income payments. The president called this “almost certainly a staff issue,” stating she was unaware of the problem and that it was not intentional.
