Very interesting article or talk-thing about Congress:

I don't think there has been a single generation of Americans that did not say Congress has to be fixed. But, the Constitution, and history, puts the sovereign power of government in Congress.
One interesting point was that everyone goes home for Shabbos on Thursday whereas fifty years ago, Congressmen lived in Washington. This prevents them from knowing each other and makes it harder to compromise, which Henry Clay said, is the essence of politics.
In the old old days, it took several days / weeks to get back to a congressman's district. Now it's a few hours flight, no big deal. So they "lived" with each other, socialized with each other , etc.. (bipartisan baseball game was one remaining example.). COVID didn't help.
