    You can’t have this all or nothing approach. You’ll never get anything done. This should be celebrated as a step in the right direction and further actions be encouraged.

      It’s not all or nothing. This law is fine in of itself, but in the context that it’s in, it comes off as tone deaf from the president. This would be like Putin legalizing recreational marijuana while their invasion of Ukraine is still ravaging the Russian economy. In a vacuum such a law is fine, but in the real world there’s a giant elephant in the room that waiting to be addressed.
