Be nice
Comment substantively
Probably some other stuff
Hope it passes! I'm kind of meh on the whole idea of the lottery as a tax on poor people that are bad at math, but given that it exists, I'd rather the money be used for stuff like this.
On a related note, it'd be nice if laws generally had built-in expiration dates like this. Not all laws, but lots of them should probably require people to say "yeah, this is still good and relevant"
I always treat it as a donation. If it ever pays me, that's just a nice bonus.
Yeah, if you can afford it and think of like that, that's cool
