Too late, should've passed this before the election :(
- I doubt it would even stand up against the Supreme Court
Good idea. It'll never even get to a vote.
U.S. Democratic Representative Mark Pocan plans to introduce a bill designed to ban “special government employees” like Elon Musk from having federal contracts so they can’t steer spending towards their own self-interest.
This isn't news. Good lord, this isn't even "a bill which will never even get to committee has been introduced."
- We are considering maybe thinking about writing a bill to maybe stop others from possibly doing some of the maybe smallest issue right now.
This bill is STUPID! Government Employees should ALWAYS Benefit Financially from their Decisions! UNLESS their name is BIDEN!
