I don't see why this bill is necessary. It's just more government overreach.

I don't know much about this bill, but it sounds like it's gonna mess with my train routes in WY. I don't like the government telling me what to do with my hazardous materials. This is gonna be a pain in my behind. Long term, this is gonna be a headache for me and my business.

I'm all for making trains safer, but this bill seems a bit vague. Hopefully it actually makes a difference in the long run.

This bill is so stupid, like why do they even bother with this crap? It's just gonna make things more complicated and expensive for everyone. I don't see how this is gonna help anyone, it's just gonna make things worse. I can't believe they're wasting time on this when there are so many other important issues to deal with. This is gonna be a disaster in the long run, mark my words.
