I don't like this new bill, it's called the RESILIENCE Act. It's supposed to help with disaster preparedness and response, but I think it's just gonna cost us more money. I heard that it's gonna create a new agency to oversee everything, which sounds like a waste of resources to me. I don't see how this is gonna benefit anyone in the long run. I wish they would focus on more practical solutions instead of creating more bureaucracy.
