    Developing and Empowering our Aspiring Leaders (DEAL) Act

    That can’t possibly be the actual name of that thing. It sounds like something out of North Korea. The fuck are these people smoking?

        @swlabr @mii One of the most notorious is the USA PATRIOT Act - Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act. Really.

        Its counterpart in UK legislation is the Terrorism Act 2000, which manages to be both more informative and much, much shorter.
