Absentee, but working on what to him is a driving issue, "our financial space race" no less. The linked item stating:
The emergence of cryptocurrency presents a tremendous opportunity for our country. The technology could help restore our national values of privacy, individual sovereignty and free markets back into our financial system. As a member of the House Financial Services Committee, I’m focused on giving the United States a fighting chance to win our financial space race:
- Exercise our duty of oversight on the Financial Services Committee by holding the Biden administration accountable and demanding answers from the Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler.
- Advocating for a clear and consistent regulatory landscape, so industry participants can effectively comply instead of being punished under regulation-by-enforcement policies.
- Preventing the proliferation of CCP-style digital surveillance initiatives and upholding the right to financial privacy.
Is absentee indifferent complacency the best thing in the U.S. House for Minnesotans, or might better be possible? How do you judge comparative efforts to inform on issues of today, Chapin vs. Emmer?
Is incumbency an excuse for asleep at the switch, to you, with today's Iran war, tariff war, and pump prices seeming to need attention and ideas? With healthcare family expense climbing precipitously month by month?
Or am I just being a petty critic of the absentee gentleman suffering a severe case of Potomac Fever that seems to be keeping him out of district, and out of touch?
UPDATE: Same problem, https://emmer.house.gov/issues/agriculture
One can say, well, blockchain is not really a grounded issue in Minnesota as much as some outlier concern that Emmer simply likes. Agriculture, a different thing. Quoting that linked thing, last bulleted item, "Urged the Biden administration’s action on the high fertilizer prices which burdened Minnesota Farmers."
Jeez, with the Strait of Hormuz under Iran's control, fertilizer prices are higher now than earlier before Trump let Bibi set US war policy, and yet the Emmer web is out of date on Ag issues too. You know it is out of date because there's an image of Emmer, in Minnesota. With his MAGA folks. That has to be years ago. Trump's first term perhaps. When Emmer was thinner.
