Another great history lesson. The ability for Congress to function has been severely compromised by living in the current age of information technology. Thinking of Neil Postman’s book - “Amusing Ourselves to Death, Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business” (1985). Our norms and institutions (e.g. Congress) can’t function if people are unable to think and reason together. Right now, too many people in government treat work as daily TV production to feed media algorithms.
