If we had a Congress who knew what Signal, e-mail, or credit cards were, then we may get actual legislation protecting consumer rights.


It's not a matter of not being tech savvy. It's the lobbyists who schmooze with them and the campaign donors who give them money.


The average age of congress members is 58 years old, which is 6 years older than the first cellphone call.

Wikipedia lists 4 Congress members that have died in office of "unspecified natural causes" since 2022. Aka they literally died of old age while in office.

I don't think they know what Signal, e-mail, or credit cards are.
