In GA, the lottery earnings go towards funding college scholarships. Namely the GA Hope scholarship which was pretty nice back in my day. Just needed to maintain a 3.0 and your in-state tuition was covered.

Concept being.. a state run lottery collects gambling $ that would have been spent anyhow.. At least they are going to a good cause. Essentially a sin tax.

Do you think your methodology is net benefit better for society and in what way?

There is always the possibility that someone in the chain of command will not follow the order, but the military is trained to follow orders and we cannot depend on this to keep us safe

Are you insinuating that the president would order an unprovoked nuclear strike? If so are you advocating for a modification to our nuclear option?

Edit: correct me if I’m wrong but I was under the impression that the nuclear football primarily exists so that should POTUS get some indication that Russia has decided to kickoff ww3 at 3AM EST, the president has the capacity to authorize our nuclear response. Not so that the president could get up for a glass of water in the middle of the night and casually decide to kick off ww3
