What is your view on AI data centers in Ohio?
After looking at many of the cases of data centers built in Ohio and other states, I am decidedly against the construction of new data centers.

Never-ending Wars

Israel and its recent actions
What are your views on Israel and its recent actions?
I condemn the actions of Israel towards Palestine and other nations. I also condemn their disregard to treaties and ceasefires. I am also in favor of ending the purchase of Israel Bonds.
Israel as a nation has shown disregard for sanctions from and treaties with international organizations. I think it's a perfect example of why we need to restore faith in our elected institutions. When we set a bad example on the global stage with organizations like the UN, a sense of freedom is given to bad actors with no desire to respect international agreements.
