much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
The old bags don't know where they are, let alone how a computer works. How are they possibly going to enforce any of this?
They hire younger folks to enforce the laws.
They do, that's true. But with better salaries in the private sector and strict anti-cannabis policies, their talent pool is tightly restricted.
Probably at a local level whenever some law enforcement busybody already wanted an excuse to evict/prosecute undesirables. 
I looked it up on eff.org and have written my representatives for whatever good that might do.
This concept of power hungry ignorant assholes making laws about topics for which they have zero understanding is fundamentally broken. These decisions should really be informed by experts in the respective fields.
Average age of us senate is a sweet 65 years young. We have to do our best to combat their misguided laws, but a long term fix can be to start lending an ear to politicians with “more skin in the game”.
The internet is just a sandbox for the ruling class at this point.
We're eventually going to lose this fight. The ability for a group of corporations to lobby is inexhaustible. We can only resist for so long, so many generations. Eventually, they win.
I disagree. They continue to invest in unstable businesses and risky economies. Bitcoin, video streaming, social media; really the entire tech sector.
As long as we continue to live, they will lose eventually.
I mean, I don't think that view is backed up by the previous 400 years of human history. I think they've effectively been able to capture the levers of society, the ability to lobby and manage government being a very material one. I think 'the people' are about a decade or less of being completely boxed out of having any meaningful influence on government, if not there already.
This site doesn't even have links to the bills so we can read it ourselves.
Baby Boooomers !!
US Congress, or one party thereof?
Bills like this often get bipartisan support
They asked if this bill had bipartisan support or not. Not if bills like it did.
