    Fucking stupid asshats could fix the complete lack of land zoning reforms, predatory education, the worlds most corrupt healthcare, extreme political corruption, the supreme courts lack of checks and balances and open corruption, gerrymandering -corruption, term limits for congress, anti labor union nonsense, sub-dirt-road level infrastructure, antiquated primary education, or any number of real issues.

    Instead we have a completely ineffective incompetent government held hostage by nonsense inflammatory bullshit like this. This bill needs action, but it is intended to burn you out so that you ignore any real issues that are not being discussed. If anything everyone involved in this politically should be labeled as corrupt worthless criminals. The conversation has to go meta and address the real problem; this shit is just the next prescribed distraction. We must take out the people holding the leash.

    I looked it up on eff.org and have written my representatives for whatever good that might do.

    This concept of power hungry ignorant assholes making laws about topics for which they have zero understanding is fundamentally broken. These decisions should really be informed by experts in the respective fields.

    We’re eventually going to lose this fight. The ability for a group of corporations to lobby is inexhaustible. We can only resist for so long, so many generations. Eventually, they win.
