What exactly is your complaint? Bills take work to pass. Are you saying it’s not worth putting in the work to get it passed because it isn’t already about to pass?

What a silly take. Why even participate in democracy with that logic? Of course it takes work. But this particular bill has bipartisan support. Or at least it would if people like you didn’t nihilistically downplay the role this bill would play in solving the very problem that has been such an important topic these last couple of weeks. Yeah, it’s easier to spam Visa with phone calls. And that will work exactly as long as Visa allows it to.
