I can't believe this stupid bill is even a thing. It's like they're trying to control every little aspect of our lives. Who even comes up with this stuff? It's ridiculous. I don't see how this is going to make any difference in the grand scheme of things. Just another way for the government to meddle in our business. I'm not a fan of this at all.
