After seeing topics like "1000 signs you're addicted to calculators" and "If TI made a PC OS," I was about to post a topic on Omnimaga with some things TI would do if it controlled the U.S. government:
- It would sue all media groups publishing secret information.
- It wouldn't care what the public actually thinks.
- It would constantly come up with new "features" hardly anyone needs, while completely ignoring all the problems of the system.
- It would watch as other governments come up with truly brilliant ideas, then ignore them completely since it's number 1 no matter what.
- It would be horribly inefficient.
- It would do all it could to prevent others from taking the power.
Then I noticed something:
- It would sue all media groups publishing secret information.
One word: WikiLeaks.
- It wouldn't care what the public actually thinks.
ObamaCare and all that stuff.
- It would constantly come up with new "features" hardly anyone needs, while completely ignoring all the problems of the system.
Same thing, as well as stuff like Social Security, the debt, etc.
- It would watch as other governments come up with truly brilliant ideas, then ignore them completely since it's number 1 no matter what.
This is probably more in the industries, especially with the auto businesses, but still.
- It would be horribly inefficient.
Won't say anything here.
- It would do all it could to prevent others from taking the power.
Thankfully we're not there yet 
Response?
And go ahead and add more points if you think of them.
To be honest, I don't think the government would be too much different if TI was running it.
Then the government would be in the pockets of powerful special-interests groups (see also: ETS, or Educational Testing Service), it would ignore people complaining about bugs and glitches and suggesting good fixes, and everything would be held together with kludgy patches and workarounds.
I tried to make a list, but it was only filled with stuff TI does also, weird...

Add them anyway
Apparently TI already controls the government.
There's not a facepalm image big enough for this thread...

If we moved up in society, we would not be allowed to downgrade, problem is that moving up just makes your life crapppier. (have you SEEN how old Obama looks these days?)

DShiznit, why is a facepalm necessary?

Everything this man(?) says deserves a giant facepalm image.

Would this work?

All right, I realize Deep Thought was played by a woman in the movie, but yes, I'm male 
Actually the question was between whether or not you're a man or a boy, but thanks for burning yourself even harder.
Aaaanyway, this thread is unfortunately going nowhere fast.
yeah sorry 'bout that. Perhaps we could agree that TI would be more totalitarian than our current government?
For sure if we ever said anything bad against TI or said the truth about one of their bad practice they would probably punish you for saying the truth, kinda like how they took down Critor's Facebook profile last Summer, after he reported on TI France FB page that OS 2.1 installed an anti-downgrade protection on your TI-Nspire, which remained intact even after removing that OS.
we would have our heads taken down instead of a profile :F
