    Hey so in between all these "lol these old idiot senators" takes can we stop and reflect for ten fucking seconds that it was OUR generation thay built the tools, OUR generation that stole the data, OUR generation that got rich, and OUR generation sidestepping accountability.

        We have constructed an entire subculture dedicated to making people inferior if they don't know what a fucking endofunctor is, deliberately made it difficult to enter this subculture, and are now going to criticize others for not being part of it?

        I am a researcher by trade and training and I've developed expertise in half a dozen disciplines that I could talk circles around any techie about. Yet techies insist that our industry is special. It is not.

        There is absolutely nothing, no single determining factor or combination of factors, about the technology industry that makes it more self-correcting, less able to be regulated, or more sensitive to capital than any other industry.

        You’re 100% right about this, but this is also why so many of these people need to step aside. They are not only clueless about how it works, they also don’t understand the way it works beyond how they use it attempt to hoodwink voters.

        There's no argument here. Nothing here tells me why they should step aside in this case than in any other hundreds of scenarios where lawmakers can and do write effective regulations and hold effective investigations.

        Yes, that’s definitely true as well. That’s part of my meaning though. This is a large scale, and still specific example of the fact that the change in society resulting from the integration of the internet demands a MUCH more diverse approach.

        Schumer and Durbin are not intimate experts of all various financial tech and they still managed to write pretty effective legislation governing how banks and financial processors should behave themselves and protect the consumer.

        Legislators don't actually write the legislation -- people from the relevant industries write it along with congressional staffers who are experts in the area.

        Lobbyists writing the legislation doesn’t seem to be doing us very much good these days. Time to nix that. And having people who understand the degree to which something has pervaded society, is going to have an effect on what questions they are or aren’t willing to ask.

        Except that just leads to all legislators having to be experts on everything they encounter and write legislation about, which is a problem as that's impossible. So you end up with legislators ad-hocing it based on whatevs they come up with.

        I don’t think we need all legislators to be experts in everything, but we need to have a wider variety of legislators who are knowledgeable about different things. What we have now is an over abundance of expertise in like 5 or 6 things.

        With due respect, don’t pin their corruption on me. I didn’t vote for the@GOP, nor did I have a say when SCOTUS upheld Citizens United decision. I had no idea that FB was selling my personal information to Russia—until it was too late. I don’t support criminal activity.

        I disagree. It’s OUR generation that had to learn their asses off in order to get a decent job. All their genration needed to secure a good career was a bachelors degree. Also these are senators for fucks sake. Ever heard of professional dev?

        also... if the leaders that create laws in this country have no incentive to learn about the BASICS of how modern economics and society functions, they need to be replaced. sorry not sorry.

        There are also plenty of older folks in tech that face discrimination, agism et. So it’s not a generational thing. It’s the fact that they have stopped learning. Also, I want their health insurance.
