If they agree iot's either bad for us, or sounds good but probably won't change anything.
Like the ROAD act that had such overwhelming bipartisan support, and sounds like a great idea, but the limits set to cub venture capital and private equity are pointless when FinCEN databases are being purged and corporate ownership no longer needs to be tracked.
And we get something good, like Biden's infrastructure program, but it ends up not going to fix crumbling roads and bridges that keep falling down or build rail infrastrructure we need, but to put up millions of ALPRs linked to shady corporations who spy on us and hand out all that data without a warrant to anyone from ICE to a data broker to a random hacker trying to steal your identity.
