Getting reps together in a room far from their constituents does sound pretty XVIII at this point. I mean, there will always be some amount of <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;p0xg_pu6hMc?t=1027" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;p0xg_pu6hMc?t=1027</a> sausage making, but why privilege reps over their constituents when it comes to communications proximity?<p>(the first time I ever floated this idea, people were laughing at the notion of politicians typing &quot;A&#x2F;S&#x2F;L&quot; to each other, which will give you all some idea of how long I think it&#x27;s technically been possible)
