I am working on a college project and need to know how many platforms to provide ?

Please name the person you plan to vote for. In addition, what are 3 platforms that you agree with that person on. AND what is one platform that you disagree on. Please don't say there are no disagreements because nobody agrees with every single thing that their candidate espouses.

I have smooth black and clear acrylic riser platforms that I use to photograph tabletop items like jewelry, collectables, etc. The black shows every speck of dust and smudges and I have to retouch and erase any artifacts with Photoshop. This is time consuming. I have lint free cloths, Windex. No matter how much I clean these things, I can't get them spotless. I also spray them with canned air and then static electricity starts attracting dust. There is always smudges I can't seem to remove. Does anyone have a solution to getting these acrylic risers spotless? Thanks

I recently got a huge cage for my two rats (from a friend). While the base of the cage is made of tough plastic, the platforms and ramps are made of wire, which I know can be tough on a rat's feet =). My first idea was to cover the platforms in duct tape (with the sticky side facing downwards of course), but I'm not sure if this is safe for them. Does anyone have a better idea, or would duct tape work well? Thanks <3
