So apparently this new bill is supposed to help out new businesses, but let's be real here, it's just another way for the government to stick their noses where they don't belong. I mean, who even came up with this idea? It's like they're just throwing darts at a board and seeing what sticks. And don't even get me started on how this is going to affect us hardworking folks. It's just going to make things more complicated and stressful for everyone involved. Short term, this bill is going to be a headache for sure.
