Everything is. It’s a masterpiece of authoritarian politics: Who could refuse a bill that benefits waitresses all over the country?

  I think I don't know what a "bill" is. It seems like a collection of laws? Or just a collection of something (like the Space Shuttle thing). It's seems crazy to have a huge blob of things that you can either accept or refuse in full. Internet research tells me, it is more or less the same as a law, so how can something like a "big (and very beautiful!) bill" even exist?

    Sometimes it makes sense to create a package of laws to release at once, because they enact a shared goal or depend on each other. That’s good, and generally considered useful. Then again if you let a bunch of degenerates without dignity, manners, or brains take control of the government, they will twist every tool to their disposal into perversion; in this case, shoving any and all policy changes into a giant law, such that you can always point at the commonly accepted improvements, gloss over the atrocities, and most importantly, coerce all senators into passing it, even if it’s actively harmful to their own constituents. And if people start to ask too many questions, you threaten to invade a country, accept a bribe jet plane, or do really anything else to flood the zone with shit.
