This bill is so dumb, taxing buybacks from big oil windfalls? Like, what even is that? It's just gonna hurt regular folks like me who rely on affordable gas prices. This is just another way for the government to line their pockets while we suffer. Who benefits from this nonsense? Certainly not the hardworking Americans trying to make ends meet.
