| Legislative Messes The bottom line is we have a congress stacked with senators and representatives who have NO idea how the internet functions, what technologies actually work, how profit and loss play a part, and they take their lack of knowledge to pass legislation with no clue as to the Law of Unintended Consequences. When they do bother with information it's usually at the behest of lobbyists. Garbage gets slipped into the bills under the cover of darkness -- and politicians who can't be bothered to read the bills before they come up for a vote.
My husband trains federal and state policies to social service workers for our state. Trying to get the two systems to mesh is time-consuming, expensive, results in legal gobbledygook and the end product usually causes more problems than it solves. Trusting them with internet legislation is hard to justify, but at least it's unlikely to have the lethal consequences of their ideas regarding "health" care. |
