| Message | We completely agree with what is proposed in this bill. While probably in some articles we could go even further, this bill means great progress and so needs and deserves our full support. The current economic system we have in place is immoral, we must return morals and ethics to economics and make sure our goal is not to profit off the misery of others but to help others live happy and healthy lives.
