Re: "What are some lesser-known, lesser-discussed political..."
Generally, the issue of funding of the government and arbitrary projects it chooses to distribute money to. Funding packages are approved as a bundle, and if you look inside, you see absurd things that lawmakers sneak in -- research to prove that children who grow up in broken homes commit more crimes, how potatos don't grow if you don't water them, bridges over land in unpopulated areas, etc. And funding of foreign states for being 'military partners', or for no reason at all.

My hot takes: corporations are not persons, it should be illegal for companies to own other companies, and there should be a cap on how much residen real estate someone can own.
What are some lesser-known, lesser-discussed political positions you either support or oppose? For example, I don't support mandatory minimum sentencing laws, and I believe companies should not be allowed to require arbitration clauses (only optional).
