"Wow, you want to FEED kids to keep them in good health? I'd rather spy on everyone in the hopes of catching someone under 18 accessing 18+ material. That's where REAL good health comes from."
It's wild this is even allowed in your country. You'd think a bill should relate to a single topic or area so you can actually vote on it, and people can easily see how reps voted on certain topics.
But if they did that, how else would they be able to get money for some random project in their district. Or tack on something everyone is against because the optics of going against the stop Stop Child Rape bill are so bad.
If there is no answer for "how does this help a politician?" then it's probably not going to happen.
The Patriot Act - is about increasing government surveillance
EARN IT - is about adding backdoors to encryption and increasing government monitoring of internet traffic.
Kids Online Safety Act - is about internet censorship and platform liability.
The Inflation Reduction Act - is about taxes and climate.
Unborn Victims of Violence Act - you can probably guess what this is about.
Working Families Flexibility Act - is about changing overtime and vacation benefits and giving employers flexibility in when they allow their employees to redeem them.
