They also posed questions about laws pertaining to dating, relationships, and pet peeves, as well as asking participants to create their own laws.

7. Robocalls
From edwardskirby.com -
"According to our data, 75% of Americans surveyed are in favor of a four-day workweek becoming law. Perhaps unsurprisingly, 80% of millennials are in favor of this legal step, which fits right in with trends of increased prioritization of work-life balance, mental health awareness, and experimenting with new ways to work. By comparison, 71% of baby boomers do not want a four-day workweek to become law."
