Say Congress is debating a law that allows individual taxpayers to designate $1,000 of their federal income taxes (out of their total overall individual federal tax burden of, say, $14,657 or whatever for the year) to go as additional funding towards a particular cause or department of their choice (Department of Education, Ukraine, Health and Human Services, Social Security, Medicare, Veterans Affairs, etc.) Would you want such an option? _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/2866))_ ---

How many pairs of jeans do you own in good condition? In other words don’t count the ones with rips/holes and such. _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/2869))_ It looks like the “number rating” style poll only allows a numerical response. I kind of doubt anyone here owns more than 19 pairs of jeans, but if you do, just pick 19. ---

You are walking in your usual shopping neighborhood when you smell wood smoke. Puzzled, you then spot several men arranging large fish in a circle around an outdoors brazier fire. The new restaurant has Arabic in its sign. Turns out, it is selling Iraq’s national dish, _masgouf_ (fire-roasted giant freshwater carp, washed and rubbed with salt). It is the dish the Saddam regime served to foreign dignitaries such as Jacques Chirac, Saddam’s personal favorite (and the reason he was eventually caught by US forces,) and the last meal of ISIS suicide bombers. The aroma is delectable, alas, _masgouf_ costs $40 per fish (although each carp can feed 2-4 people). _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/2872))_ ---

You have spent 10 years of your life in Texas prison for a crime you did not commit, due to prosecutor shenanigans. Now you are finally freed and the government is offering you around $120,000 per year of wrongful incarceration as compensation, per state law ($80k in outright per-year compensation and $40k in lifetime annuities). You have the option of either accepting it at face value, or declining it and pursuing a lawsuit that could get you many million dollars but runs the risk of nothing of any form if you lose. _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/2876))_ ---

There are a lot of stories about how Millennials have put off having kids until they’re older, or have had none at all, because they can’t afford houses.
