As world leader, what would your priorities be?

First a quick setting so you know what you are working with.

The year is 2077, and you've just been appointed as leader of the whole world. Yes, you were appointed and not elected. The world is one place now with a single government. Democracy as it is today, has failed. Too much debating and going back and forth about the really important issues concerning the world, and a lack of action, has led the planet to chaos.
Global warming is in full swing and coastlines around the world are devastated. Food is running out and we can't provide for the world's people. The world realizes that arguing about big problems and then awarding the best debaters with their agenda only failed us. Democracy didn't work and the destruction is all around the prove it.
Instead, the world had one last vote. The world agreed to create a government that appoints the best and brightest to the positions they will be most useful. People don't have jobs anymore. They have appointed duties, because its do or die now, and you've been chosen as leader.

What's your move? What are your priorities?
 
First, I plan to appoint a committee to figure out whose dumbass idea it was to put me in charge.

Also, I'd appoint you to be the guy that goes in and cleans up the jerkin' booths in adult stores.
 
Same as any leader, my own happiness would be the first priority. Why should I be any different than all the leaders of the past?
 
Court-enforced dueling as a legal penalty to any affront committed online. "Pointy elbows? I DEMAND SATISFACTION. PISTOLS AT DAWN FOUL BLAGGARD."
 
Wait, so I am appointed leader of the world by who, the leaders of the world?

Your sense of politics is childish at best.
 
First I'd need to secure a pile of cocaine the size of Texas. Then... I dunno. Two chicks at the same time, I guess.
 
I'd have slaves by the tens of thousands working on my palace just like in The Ten Commandants because that was a cool movie. Also, maybe fusion research to keep the smart people busy so they don't think about revolution.

You would be the pineapple of bad leadership.
 
I would distract the populace with issues like gay marriage and ebola while chalking up the climate change to being a myth. (all while misappropriating tax payer funds to build my very own Enterprise to blow this Popsicle stand and repopulate elsewhere when things go sour)
 
That only people who could squat/bench/deadlift a certain amount could breed. Then we'd have a super race of powerlifters.

More seriously, your scenario sounds like the plot to The Giver movie. Slightly past the destruction phase and in the dystopian phase.

Serious answer: mermaban ********, **** ******, and probably a couple other people too.

Then do exactly what the Emperor of Mankind did, minus that whole immortal corpse thing.
 
Round up all smokers and put them in camps until they quit. Mandatory sterilization for people who use e-cigs.

Legalize prostitution and put it in the school curriculum.

Mandatory drug screening starting at the age of 18. If you do not test positive you have to pay a fine or serve jail time.

Round up beggars and put them in gladiatorial arenas every Thanksgiving. Replace the Macy's parade.

All vehicles need to get 100 MPG. Those that don't are shipped to Mexico with all the illegal aliens. Just imagine a giant armada of 10 million cars going across the border mad max style.

All foreign ambassadors should be US entertainers and not boring bureaucrats. Ship Miley Cyrus to Iran to solve that problem, Justin Beiber to Gaza, and Britney Spears to North Korea.

Immediately declare war on Florida and Texas. Fuck those people.

Make Pastafarianism our national religion and get rid of all tax benefits to other religions.
