There have been a lot of posts about this but I didn't know it was for 30 seconds until I watched NPR and they said that. But they didn't show the whole thing. Instead they just showed a few seconds. I had to find another fucking video. Who wants NPR analysis? Show me the treat!
I cued it up to the freeze up.
You're right, I've overstated the phenomenon.
Still feels kind of worrying. Like, if its happening in a big obvious televised job like 'senator', then I gotta wonder how pervasive it is. Like, what necessary clerical or administrative task is getting neglected because it's out of the public eye and nobody is willing to tell someone to consider retirement?
idk, but it's not my problem
