All New Laws Read On The Floor Of Congress To The Theme Of YMCA

Require the politicians who passed it to stand up in congress and have to do that arm gesture thing too while they sing it.

Won't spend a lot of time YMCAifying a typical bill but it might be something like this:

House Bill 7334 as written:

"Establishes a 10-year statute of limitations for criminal charges and civil enforcement against a borrower who engages in fraud with respect to certain COVID-19 economic injury disaster loan programs." (So basically a bill to help the rich who used COVID to scam hundreds of millions from American tax payers,)

Written to the theme of YMCA:

You scam.
Now you're scared you'll be caught because of
Your scam
With politicians you bought and now
That scam
Has you thinking you ought to get

an-
out-
of-
ja-il
free-card

(skip to chorus)

BUM BUM BUM BUM BUM

You'll get away with it with
Seven... three three four,
You'll be home free with our
Seven... three three four-or,

Keep your head down low
In ten years you'll know
That the feds won't - bust - down your door-oo-oor

And please don't ask if they need to dress like the Village People, that goes without saying.

       Too much rant, too little idea. Not that I disagree with the rant.

       God, a1 you again? What is your obsession with me?   

       This is getting perilously close to stalking.   

       Tell you what, you stop erasing my annotations, (even the ones that are nice) and I won't erase yours, we'll just be polite to each other. I know I've suggested that before but hope springs eternal.

       //Hey doc, I know you think I automatically bone your ideas, but that first [-] isn't mine. I'll prove it by applying a second one. The idea is funny enough and would play well on Facebook or many other sites. But "there should be a law" isn't really an idea for an invention. And HB7334 isn't meant to help scammers get away with anything. The usual statute of limitation on fraud crimes is 5 years . So extending it to 10 here strengthens rather than weakens the government's ability to prosecute scammers. Just so you know it wasn't an "automatic" bone but a carefully considered one. This anno will be preserved on my profile. — a1, Aug 23 2022//   

       //I will never delete an annotation that's relevant to a posted idea. Ones that have nothing to do with the idea are fair game though. And I'm always as polite as a person or situation merits. Admittedly THIS anno itself is not strictly relevant your YMCA idea, but it is in response to a direct comment from you. Do with it as you wish. — a1, Aug 23 2022//   

       But why would you continue communicating with somebody who just clearly doesn't want to have anything to do with you? I don't understand the motivation. When somebody doesn't like me, I just leave them alone, I don't keep trying to establish contact. I seem to be a big part of your life. Can I not be? I mean seriously, your profile now, front and center features ME in your //ANNOTATIONS PROTECTD (sic) FROM DELETION// Somebody who goes to see what you're about will see "I obsess about doctorremulac3." That's just creepy.   

       So how about you do your thing, I do mine, I leave you alone, you leave me alone? What's the problem with that?   

       As far as the statute of limitations, it's already ten years, this makes it clear prosecutions will be limited to the current statute of limitations, probably because people are so outraged the average citizen is very hungry for justice for these crimes. From 2018:   

       "Bank-related crimes — Bank bribery, embezzlement from a bank, bank fraud, FDIC fraud, loan and credit fraud, falsifying bank records, forging bank documents, RICO violations, and insurance fraud all have a 10-year statute of limitations."   

       But I propose we live and let live. Let's not post on each other's ideas, good? Good.

       I suggest a singular idea post in which all your interpersonal differences, hatreds, accusations and the accompanying prose and profanity be hung out for both of you (and us peons) to see and rate.

       ooh, can it have a mud slinging contest, an innovative insult rating system, popcorn, and chess boxing?
Voice, Aug 23 2022
  

       That would require me having to interact with the guy. Thanks but no thanks.   

       //Perhaps you could ask [jutta] for a ruling, but until I here otherwise I'll go my own way.//   

       It's spelled "hear" genius. If you're gonna be a picky little smartass might wanna learn how to spell first.
