Hey @thoughts-in-time .. hope you're having a great week, I'm still away and just checking messages in an internet cafe. In terms of the first bill, yes I very much agree and in effect, it is an aspect of the psychological manipulation that we're all under. From my own observations, they tend to present the most extreme case as the entry point, fully aware that it will not pass but also aware that it will make the subsequent re-worded slightly altered reiterations appear increasingly reasonable .. plus with the aforementioned (new deal for nature etc etc) mirror bills, we can see the direction we're being nudged towards .. these people don't give up easily. Thanks again my friend!
