Now is not the appropriate time
I get the PR point and I’m glad these bills are at least temporarily scrapped, but this whole concept needs to be excised from how we make laws or any other rules. Whatever the right policy is, remains the right policy for an extended period of time. It does not depend to any significant extent on whatever happened nearby or in the news in the past two weeks. That’s an unfortunate, emotion-driven confusion/bias we can’t seem to get away from.
