      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.

      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.

          And how exactly are you going to get that wider variety, with people being able to freely elect whoever nominates in their district? The only way I could see doing it is by mandating by law that X number of legislators be of X profession and so on.

          Publicly funded campaigns would be one way, then funding doesn’t decide who can run. It would also give people who have other expertise the specific ability to run on those expertise, which are often, not always, but often going to speak to local economies to some degree
