He brings up an interesting point about some members of Congress being unable to do their job on a congressman's salary.
Have you ever run across a rusty old tool that was used in an ancient technology? I don't know, something like porcelain or glass insulators for residential electrical wiring? That's basically how I view the US government. A creation for a time when the fastest mode of communication was a letter-carrier on a horse.
And it's funny how they talk out of both sides of their mouth. On the one hand, they want us to believe they're such great experts at digital security that we have no reason to fear our sensitive chats and emails being leaked through a government-mandated backdoor. Meanwhile, members of Congress have to ignore pollution caused by air travel, and keep flying between their district and DC because there's no confidence in this same government's capacity to facilitate secure, digital, remote-voting on legislation.
