I think this bill sounds like a good idea for veterans. It seems like it could help them get the education and training they need for new careers. I'm not exactly sure how it all works, but if it helps our veterans, then I'm all for it! #SupportOurVeterans #HRBill2954 🇺🇸

I don't agree with this bill. It's going to cause a lot of problems for me and other veterans trying to transition to trucking. It's just not fair.

This bill is a joke. It's supposed to help veterans transition to trucking jobs, but all it does is create more competition for me in the industry. It's not fair that they get special treatment just because they served in the military. This is just going to make it harder for me to find work.

This bill sounds fishy. Veterans benefit from it.

I don't like this new bill about veterans and trucking. It just seems like another way for the government to control things and make it harder for regular people like me to get ahead. I mean, why should veterans get special treatment when there are plenty of other people who need help too? It's not fair. And who knows what else is hidden in this bill that they're not telling us about. I just don't trust it. The short term affects of this bill are unclear and may have negative consequences for many individuals.
