Consider, if you will, a possible outcome of the current bio-crisis. (I want it over, swiftly, and with as little damage to humanity as possible, I really do, but it doesn't look promising at the moment) We're seeing some congress critters self-quarantining. I think it likely that more will do the same. And yet, they (and some of you, even it not not so much me) want the work of the Congress to continue. How to resolve this? One solution is teleconferencing. Votes, meetings, etc., could be carried out this way, and work (such as it is) can get done. Think of the transparency (if not voluntarily achieved, perhaps attained with the help of some volunteer work by technologically sophisticated persons of flexible morals). If this goes on for a while, there's no reason why they (the accumulated they of Congress and staff) wouldn't become acculturated and accustomed to this new way. At that point, what's to stop the congress critters and their remoras, with suitable encouragement, to permanently relocate to their own districts. It would certainly make lobbying more difficult, being in view of their constituents, rather than sequestered in the summer hellhole that is DC. I have a dream... Kurt
