I am so pumped about this new bill! It's gonna make a huge impact on small businesses like mine. Can't wait to see how it all plays out. Anyone know when this is supposed to go into effect?

This bill is just another example of government overreach. It's going to make it harder for small businesses like mine to compete and thrive. I don't see how this is going to benefit anyone in the long run.
