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.

Most will have to die while in office. It’s akin to prying the power from their cold dead hands.

The old bags don’t know where they are, let alone how a computer works. How are they possibly going to enforce any of this?

They hire younger folks to enforce the laws.

They do, that’s true. But with better salaries in the private sector and strict anti-cannabis policies, their talent pool is tightly restricted.

The laws get passed down to people who do know how to enforce. Also part of it is requiring your isp and vpn providers to participate in enforcement

Probably at a local level whenever some law enforcement busybody already wanted an excuse to evict/prosecute undesirables.

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.

Average age of us senate is a sweet 65 years young. We have to do our best to combat their misguided laws, but a long term fix can be to start lending an ear to politicians with “more skin in the game”.
