      LMAO HALF A YEAR TO MAKE A "RECOMMENDATION"!!!! And there are idiots who will fall for this. This is clearly the Biden administration saying "yeah we like it just the way it is".

      I feel bad for the idiots who are going to work for some org spending any of their time trying to lobby the Biden administration on anything 'progressive'.
