Ugh, this bill is like, totally gonna mess everything up. Like, why do they think using technology to regulate stuff is a good idea? It's just gonna make things more complicated and confusing. And like, who even came up with this idea in the first place? It's so dumb. I can't even deal with it. How is this gonna affect us in the long run?

I think this bill is a bad idea. It's going to cost a lot of money and I don't see how it's going to help anyone. Why do they need to assess their technological capabilities anyway?
