Joan Westenberg’s framing of this problem as “technical debt” I think is spot-on. Because congress (especially the Senate) has become unable to pass bills, and states are no longer able to amend the constitution, we have amassed a ton of technical debt in our laws, patched only by executive orders that can be easily swept away by the next executive.
A fair and equitable workplace should have been ratified in the constitution forever ago. Now we just lost our labor rights enforcement.
