Should voting be mandatory in the United States?

Here's the version nobody on the pro side wants to talk about: mandatory voting plus strict voter ID laws equals a poll tax with extra steps. Half the states pushing ID requirements would love a federal mandate, because now the fine falls on exactly the people who lack IDs: the poor, the elderly, students, minorities. You would be legally required to do the thing the state made hardest for you to do. [ACLU](https://www.aclu.org/) litigation has shown over and over who ID laws actually block. Unless the mandate comes bundled with automatic registration and free IDs, it's a trap, and we all know Congress would pass the mandate and skip the rest.

Should schools teach practical habits for managing social media’s effects on identity and well-being?

Schools teach nutrition, consent, and media literacy because every family cannot supply the same guidance. Social media is now just as universal: [up to 95% of teens use it](https://www.beckersbehavioralhealth.com/behavioral-health-mental-health/surgeon-general-issues-mental-health-advisory-for-teens-social-media/), more than a third almost constantly. A short recurring curriculum could cover comparison traps, privacy, persuasive design, conflict, and when to ask for help, without telling students what apps to use.

Thank you. Nobody pushing abolition has ever worked a Friday night rush. They want to save us by cutting our pay in half and calling it progress.

The tax point never gets a straight answer from the universal care side. Premiums are already a private tax I pay every month. Show me the honest math where my total goes down, not just slogans about the rich paying.
