8>8 Personal answerPay should be based on results not gender. |
Domestic Policy › Gun Control
8>8 Personal answerFederal government should encourage the states to implement permit-to-purchase laws to close out all existing loopholes and extend wait period to 5 days. Hard no on federal red flag laws. Leaning soft no on state red flag laws ( but depends case by case depending on the exact contents of the bill/law) |
Crime › Police Body Cameras
8>8 Personal answerYes, this will protect the safety and rights of police officers and citizens |

8>8 Personal answerYes, but only on specialized, contracted work. Never on day to day commerce and also not based on race, color, gender identity, sex, or sexual orientation. |
Social › Transgender Athletes
8>8 Personal answerAll sports should do a model like the USPA with a drug-tested/free category and an untested category. Athletes in the drug tested category should be required to fall within a certain, albeit generous, hormonal range to compete as their identified sex. Athletes in the untested category can compete as whatever sex they identify without restrictions. |
Immigration › Muslim Immigrant Ban
8>8 Personal answerNo, banning immigrants based on their religion is unconstitutional |
Social › Planned Parenthood Funding
8>8 Personal answerFor now yes, however, I would prefer switching to a healthcare service similar to South Korea or Singapore therein making the low-cost reproductive health services provided by PP obsolete because people would be able to afford them at hospitals and such |
the Economy › Minimum Wage
8>8 Personal answerNo, replace with negative income tax funded by Single Tax/Land Value Tax |
Domestic Policy › Armed Teachers
8>8 Personal answerThis should be up to the municipality that the school serves; ideally all legal guardians of kids at a specific school (and I mean that specific school, not district) would be gathered to vote on this issue each year for which they have a child at that school with yay needing 75-80% of total parents each year at a minimum for authorization (otherwise default nay). |
the Environment › Climate Change
8>8 Personal answerNo, tax carbon emissions instead |
the Economy › Paid Sick Leave
8>8 Personal answerInstitute a live-able negative income tax or other UBI funded by Land Value Tax and eliminate wage standards after that- companies should be allowed to make this decision but if you get fired or furloughed or not paid, the gov should pick up the slack |

Elections › Foreign Lobbying
8>8 Personal answerYes, as long as all donations are public knowledge to ensure there is no conflict of interest |
Education › Critical Race Theory in K-12 Education
8>8 Personal answerYes but only if students are also given the context that all postmodern critical theories are reliant on certain assumptions regarding epistemology, and that the same conclusions may not necessarily be drawn if they subscribe to other epistemological precepts. Thereafter it is their own decision and responsibility to explore their own subscription to the myriad theories of knowledge and draw their own conclusions thereupon- all this despite my own personal agreement with the underlying philosophy of CRT (ie it's more important to me that kids learn how to think, not what to think: delivering liberating content in an authoritarian structure- that is presenting it as the sole objective fact/ reality- is counterintuitive) |
Immigration › Immigration
8>8 Personal answerYes, if they were born here |
