I love how the era of Zoom lawmaking has killed decorum for so many of these state public functions. The pompous elected officials now have to connect from what often look like very pedestrian suburban homes, with either bare walls or run-of-the-mill family pics on them, bad lighting, cameras too close to them and too high or too low... They no longer project the institutional authority of big, carpeted, wainscoted, pillared halls of power, and it's just as well: I like that they should think of themselves as mere managers of public administration, not historical figures destined to leave grandiose legacies...
