sigh
- nyghtly 6y agoReminds me of the episode from Veep where Jonah tries to pass a bill that abolishes DST. The bill is written by an outside team of analysts funded by a private prison magnate, Sherman Tans. He packs the bill with extras intended to expand the prison population. Jonah accepts the bill because he's an idiot and doesn't like to read. He only got elected because he went negative against the president, a member of his own party. In the end, the bill fails because Jonah flies to close to the sun.
- craftyguy 6y agoThe text of the bill hasn't been submitted yet, so we don't know what 'other purposes' is. So in typical 'hacker' 'news' fashion, this has been upvoted based purely on title alone!
- quasse 6y agoExactly. I was going to write a note to my House representative in support of this bill, but I absolutely will not do that with the text unreleased and "for other purposes" in the title there.
