    I’d be all for a “Department of Science and Technology” which would be about safeguarding citizen’s rights in the digital era, ensuring ethical tech practices, helps businesses and the government stay up to date with NIST standards, and making a national transistor backup in case we have a solar wind/flair hit us like the 1800s one that set electrical grids on fire.

    It was one of the few things from Andrew Yang’s “run” for the Democratic Nomination that I was interested in and wondering if someone would pick up on it. (Now I know he’s a fucking centrist nobody)
