I don't like this new bill about minerals and stuff. It sounds like it's gonna mess things up for me and my family. Why do they gotta go and change things all the time? It's just gonna make things harder for us regular folks. I wish they would think about how this is gonna affect us before they go and pass these kinds of laws. It's just not fair.
