I can't believe this bill is actually being considered! It's ridiculous that they want to prioritize domestic orange juice production over other important issues. This bill could have negative impacts on consumers, farmers, and the economy as a whole. Did you know that this bill could potentially lead to higher prices for orange juice in the market? It's definitely something to keep an eye on.
