    Per another comment (and the article I suppose, if I bothered to read it), the title is apparently misleading and the bills are about ‘weather modification’ and such, not about chemtrails.

    But a bill to ban chemtrails: my take is, I’d support that. You have a bunch of people worried they’re real. If chemtrails were real, they’d be bad. People can’t trust companies not to be doing it secretly, but those people trust legislation (a bit; maybe). Okay then, legislate it. Give people peace of mind.

    It’s like all the debates about phones listening in to you. The consensus seems quite clear that they’re not, and all the uncanny ad targeting comes from connecting the dots on other data. But, maybe it could be real? Okay, legislate it. Make it highly illegal for devices to listen in without clear consent and notification. Okay, that’s far more complicated than it sounds, but it would be one step of pressure in the right direction to make it not happen.
