You'd think the bad publicity alone would be enough to destroy any chance of election. You'd think.

It does on the surface, but the problem is it quickly devolves into extreme utilitarianism. There are some other issues such as:

  1. How rich is rich enough for EA? Who decides?
  2. How much suffering is it acceptable to cause while getting rich to deliver EA?
  3. Is it better to deal with the problems we have now and in the immediate future, or avoid problems in millions of years that we may or may not accurately be able to predict?
  4. Can you even apply morality and ethics to people that do not exist?
  5. Who decides what has the most value?
  6. It's a cult.

But no vaping ban?

The cynic in me says this is to test the water to see how pliable we are. What else will follow if we accept this, I wonder?

Is it even secret?

Exactly. We need to wipe them out at the next election.

It'll probably be against the law soon at the rate we're going.
