- I believe that the election system that we have in place in Georgia is very susceptible to be hacked and should replaced by paper ballots
- I am strongly against any attempts at 15 minutes cities and the elimination of cash. AKA what nikima calls the digitization of Georgia
- I believe that there is ingredients in our food that should never be passed by the FDA and I don't think they're doing their job properly
The other to say fine will draw straws again. The Jew gets the Short Straw so he has to sleep out in the barn. 10 minutes later there's a knock on the door. He says," I'm sorry guys I just can't sleep with a pig it's totally against Jewish traditions there's no way I can do this!" So the politician says fine I'll sleep in the barn! 10 minutes later there's a knock on the door. It's the cow and the pig.
