It’s a great bill, but I think it’s a good thing it’s not getting a lot of media coverage. It may be another example of what Matt Yglesias has called Secret Congress. The less attention it gets, the less likely it is to be attacked by partisans and the more likely it is to get enacted.
Yeah I also worry that to much attention may polarize support this bill one way or other and block it from passage. It's somewhat unfortunate that the only way to get bipartisans bills done is when there is limited coverage but that does seem to be the reality we live in.

Pretty much. The good news is most issues are like that. I write about it from time to time on my newsletter. The link is below if you’re interested.

I wrote a piece on it! But yeah, I noticed nobody else really was picking up on it. Probably since it's got a ways to go, still?
