I like to welcome everyone to the first sitting of the house of commons. The European Parliament forged a pact among its 27th numbered nations. We are going to move to remote participation as well so our members remotely can actually enter and this is in 24 languages well. But the Cyber Congress in washington. Represented to the people and our government, not calling for a session and weeks now and its simply unacceptable. The bill is passed. Nearly 400 house members filtered in to vote on the latest coronavirus bill and republicans and democrats with House Speaker nancy pelosi force them to kill a proxy plan and appeared for the lack of boats. It appears as a nefarious democratic scheme. To make sure that they have the votes necessarily. Congress struggles to work remotely because the modern options deteriorate. The house is going to be under invested technology for decades and they refuse to spend the money they need to build a robust technology. Its concern over whether its healthy for congress to meet. Status quo in my opinion is unacceptable and dangerous. Im not talking about the members of congress, martin and partly its dangerous to everyone we come in contact with.
