I share your concern. In this era of cronyism and regulatory capture, the stated intentions of legislative efforts rarely seem to survive through the law-making process, no matter how laudable their origins. They get weakened, undermined, loop-holed or otherwise subverted. Even the recent "Right to Repair" efforts appear to specifically exclude things like mobile devices, PCs and consoles. Seeing so many bills launched which appear to be so positive yet end up being either irrelevant or perversely damaging, has left me deeply skeptical anytime I hear another legislator announce some bill. The more I agree with the intent, the more I now just fear disappointment. The system is corrupt. Both major parties play these games and there is no longer a party I can rely on to be consistently better. Even when one party appears less bad, it's usually just that they promise things I find more agreeable, yet don't actually deliver when in power.
