How bills are named

any bill around internet monitoring and censorship : saving the precious children from horrible paedophiles act of 20xx

any bill for actually taking care of the physical and intellectual well being of children : bill 50906-3

"The Sunshine Protection Act", oh is this some bill against pollution or something. "This bill makes daylight savings permanent."

Oh fuck off, that's too grandiose of a name for that. I mean I want that, but you aren't protecting sunshine ...

I don't have a problem with that act having a grandiose name because axing daylight savings time is something I can totally get behind no matter where I am.
- Yes. I will finally only drive into the sun half the year instead of the whole year.
I always thought it was weird, that the one argument for Day Light Savings is that we get more sun. Someone can correct me, if I am wrong. I'm pretty sure the amount of daylight isn't magical dictated by clocks and time created by humans.
Abolish day light savings time. Stick to standard time like the rest of the world does.
- So like, in January, the sun sets at say around 5:15pm. With DST active, it would set at 6:15pm.
  So there is more daylight after work or school gets out for most people.
  Either way, the time change seems like it's not useful in today's age, so we should pick one.
They tried that in the 70s. The permanent DST thing, I don't know what they called it. Everyone hated it so much that they switched back before the next general election.

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.

Right?

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 funny part is public initiatives are bound to this rule, depending where you live
??? How am I supposed to get pork-barrel projects for my district? That would never work! People should be forced to vote for things they don't agree with to get things they do agree with. That's the American way.

Also this bill bans soda

One of America's dumbest legislative mechanics.

Something something Patriot Act

Ah, yes. Citizens United.

Oh silly you. This bill is called free soda for all because it's trying to free this dog that happens to be named soda.

And by "free," they mean "free from its mortal coil."

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.
Indiana SB52.
It's claimed to promote the local economy.
It actually just bans bus rapid transit in Indianapolis.
It's claimed to have the support of the businesses and the people living in the area.
It actually has no support outside of Andy Mohr Auto Group.
- I don’t think I can think of something stupider than banning busses in a city (if I’m reading this right)
Patriot Act
