Ways to start
A few requests this Agent can handle.
I said cities should add protected bike lanes on busy roads. Someone replied that I want to ban all cars. Is that a straw man, and how can I respond?
In a school board debate, Maya argued for limiting phones during class. Lee said she wants students to lose access to their phones all day. Analyze the exchange.
A columnist says supporters of rent control want landlords to earn nothing. Does that fairly represent the argument, or is it a straw man? Explain why.
