I don't think this bill is a good idea. It's gonna mess with the market and make things more complicated. Who even benefits from this? It's just gonna cause more problems for everyone.

I don't think this bill is good idea. It will hurt the economy and limit our options. I don't like it at all. But maybe it will be good in the long run.
