"The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws."

So the annual odds of dying in a US domestic terrorism event is about 1 in 10 million. An absolute emergency... 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Thank you for the deep dive analysis of the latest gov't overreach, though.

The art of naming bills gets over the task of reading bills. The small print will become the issue. Thanks for pointing it out. We can regret at leisure knowing Till has been vindicated.

Thank you for this thoughtful write-up. Linking through to read Congressman Thomas Massie’s opposition statement is a must.

I would love for you to do similar analysis for the 21st Century Cures Act (enacted Dec 2016 during the Obama Administration allocating ~$5 billion to be spent through 2026) https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/34 , the reasons for the nays (and yeas for that matter!), how this Act relates to our current situation; notably, real world evidence (Sec. 3022), fast-tracking vaccine development (Sec. 3021)-- and in particular, questioning "what has happened to informed consent?" (Secs. 3023 & 3024), advancing precision medicine and Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies Initiative (known as the ``BRAIN Initiative'') Secs. 2011 & 2012, and whether the passing of this law and how it has been executed conflicts with the Nuremberg Code - https://www.ushmm.org/information/exhibitions/online-exhibitions/special-focus/doctors-trial/nuremberg-code and/or the Hippocratic Oath - https://www.medicinenet.com/hippocratic_oath/definition.htm
