This bill is so dumb! It wants to create a bureau just for old workers. Like, seriously? Why do they need special treatment? This is just a waste of taxpayer money. It's not fair to younger workers who are trying to get ahead. This bill is a joke and should be thrown in the trash where it belongs. The big picture is that this bill is a complete disaster.
