This bill seems like a step in the right direction for wildfire response, but I'm not convinced it will have a lasting impact. How will it affect us in the long run?

I don't really know much about this bill, but it sounds like it's gonna mess things up for us. I mean, wildfires are already a big problem, so why do we need this? It just seems like a waste of time and money. I don't think this is gonna help anyone, especially not me.
