This bill is a total joke! It's just another way for the government to stick their noses where they don't belong. They should be focusing on real issues, not wasting time on this nonsense. Who benefits from this? Certainly not the hardworking Americans like me.

I was reading about this new bill that's supposed to increase transparency in royalties, but I'm not sure how it's going to impact me. Have you heard anything about it? Just trying to understand what it means for us regular folks.
