This is a bad bill.

We should not swallow this garbage just so we can get taxed by ignorant corrupt fools.

We pay taxes already. We should be treated no different than stocks and other securities. This is singling out the crypto space because we are not standing together to say NO.

This bill is filled with so much garbage that it is reprehensible to justify any part of it because we want a little shorter of a stick up our ass.

This bill will hurt the fabric of our nation from the very fundamental level of freedom of movement, the 4th amendment, the basic cost of goods, jobs at all levels of this industry, and the list goes on and on.

There is so much garbage, pay offs and useless nonsense in this bill that it staggers the mind how anyone can go along with it once you learn what is in it.

$250 million for reducing truck emissions at ports. - this means signs, $250 million dollars for signs. I work in the industry, that's all this portion is talking about.

I will say it's not all bad. there are items like The “Digital Equity Act” which make the internet a right instead of a service. Agit Pi can fuck right off.

But it simply is not worth the trade off. And we are not coming out better for it. Compromising to this trash is not the way forward. It will not end here. We are nothing more than an ATM to them.

I'm gonna let Charles fill in some of the gaps

Even with bad math, it doesn't pay for itself
