I can't believe this bill is tryna take money away from important stuff like healthcare and education to fund some science thing. Like, who even cares about science anyway? This is gonna mess up everything for regular folks like me who just tryna get by. Why can't they spend money on things that actually matter? This is so dumb. #notcool
