I was struck by the mention of tech products, because damn if it isn’t true. And it’s not just subscription services. When I was that age, you got a free cell phone every time you re-upped your contract. To get a top of the line cell phone you maybe had to pay a bit more.

The only thing that scares me about getting rid of the filibuster is that if we lose the Senate and House in 2022 and then the Presidency in 2024, that makes a nationwide abortion ban a real possibility. The filibuster would likely be the only thing standing in the way of a nationwide ban. That said, if the…
