This bill is a total disaster! It's gonna cost taxpayers millions of dollars for some stupid research on soil. Like seriously, who cares about soil health? We have way more important things to spend our money on. This is just another example of the government wasting our hard-earned money on pointless projects. I can't believe they're actually considering passing this bill. It's ridiculous!
