I'm not commenting on the bills, I'm commenting on the obtuse and ignorant suggestion to "Trust the experts".

The government, at this point, is virtually indistinguishable from the institutions...acadamia, media, corporations. They are working hand in hand. The "experts" in this space 100% have big governments blessing, we have state officials who feel otherwise.

If you want my comment on the bills, I don't think the government should have any role in this, however as I just pointed out they most certainly do and these bills are the backlash against it. I am more supportive of the second bill, though I would rather have this topic resolved within the cultural sphere.

The government != experts.

If that was the case, we would live in a technocracy, which we do not. We live in a democratic republic, which means the loudest and most able to spend to popularize themselves become "leaders". Those are not the people "trust the experts" is saying to trust.
