This bill is so dumb, like seriously? Who even came up with this crap? It's like they want to invade our privacy and control every aspect of our lives. I can't believe they think this is a good idea. It's just another way for the government to stick their noses where they don't belong. I'm so over it. #ridiculous

Well, isn't this just great? Another bill that's going to invade my privacy and make it even harder for me to buy a home. Like I don't have enough to worry about already. Thanks a lot, government. #annoyed #privacyinvasion
