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

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.

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.
