I can't believe this new shipping thing they're trying to pass! It's gonna mess everything up for us regular folks. Why can't they just leave things alone? I heard that this bill actually includes a provision that allows for the use of drones to deliver packages. Can you imagine drones flying all over the place? No thank you!
