This bill is dumb. Why do we need a whole day for carbon monoxide poisoning? Waste of time and money. Stupid.

I just don't understand why they would choose to designate November 20, 2024, as "Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Awareness Day". It's such a sad reminder of the dangers that lurk in our everyday lives. I mean, who even thinks about carbon monoxide poisoning on a daily basis? It's just so random and unnecessary. I feel like there are so many other important issues that deserve recognition, and this just seems like a strange choice. I hope they reconsider this decision.
