Just want you to know that while in most cases I try to keep the flood of political emails OUT of my InBox, an update from you gets read before *anything* else.
While the right wing nut jobs (RWNJ) have another tantrum. Our representative is talking about quantum computing. Just another typical day on Capitol Hill. Good job sir, keep it up.
My undergraduate degree came standard with eight semesters of quantum mechanics (I'm a chemist), and I really never thought I'd see that world and the world of Washington anywhere near each other. I'll just be over here, quietly geeking out and trying not to spill too much quantum theory at everybody's favorite online Congressman. 😂
Thanks, Jeff. But beware: when they find out you've never had a frontal lobe replacement there'll be talk of a chairmanship. And then, with that original cortex intact, rumors of higher office. Well, on your side of the aisle anyway. Members on the other side seem to have taken some kind of magical quantum leap, where a Congressional brain can be dead and alive at the same time, depending upon which box Donald Trump opens.
As someone who works at a company that is a leader in quantum computing and AI, I appreciate your attention to these technologies and for talking to your constituents about them. Sometimes I'm not sure folks in North Carolina are fully aware of the technologies being advanced by companies with substantial presence in our state, and the benefits this conveys. It's a good reason to be forward thinking in our political and social strategies.
Hi Jeff. Thanks so much for all your posts. How lucky were you to be elected at this point? I know that the House seems more off the rails than on but then I saw where republicans in the Senate chastised Thom Tillis for voting for a good thing instead of following the goose stepping party vote. How about letting me know what Chuck Edwards is up to because I never hear from him. Either he’s doing nothing or he’s ashamed to let his constituents know what he’s been doing. Everything I know, I hear from you.
That made me chuckle. I did note that you confined the effects of that good news to the Speaker rather than the rest of us poor sods who have to put with this nonsense. 😉
Jeff, Here is hoping you never need a knee replacement. Knock ‘em out! I really appreciate your sly sense of humor about the cynical draaaaama in the House. It almost makes it palatable. Your update on technology is enlightening and clear to educated in the DOS manual and dual disc floppies but overwhelmed by the confusion of the plethora of (many largely silly) applications and competing platforms.
Thank you for both updates; I am so sick of our lack of requirements for running for office. If we had some, we’d not be dealing with these unqualified, inhumane sociopathic children playing games with the nation for power & pettiness. They have no business in serous positions required of governing! Please one day update that legislation has been introduced, outlining requirements for running for office thats at least equal to what most citizens have to go through to prove job fitness!
Sir, the criteria for being added to the congressional baseball game are remarkably similar to those for playing in my 50-and-over soccer league. So as long as you can avoid getting a knee replaced I may have a spot for you in however many years it'll be before you turn 50.

This is good, but I think someone needs to sit down with Jeff and have “the talk” about quantum computing:

Once again, I am impressed. Keeping your head above the fray must be difficult at times, but believe me, we appreciate it.
I certainly don't know much about quantum computing but your general description helps a lot. Thanks for broadening my horizons.
Watch out for the high, hard one in the batter's box!
Thank you Jeff for your reporting!

Good luck with the ballgame.
"... could be good news for the Speaker."

Congressman! Quite simply, you are THE BEST …!

Hope you hit a home run!
