NY Politicians Dabble in Blockchain Dreams While Democracy Hangs by a Thread! 😱

by

Ah, dear reader, what peculiar times we live in! 🤔 In the grand theater of political absurdity that is New York State, another soul has thrown himself into the abyss of technological salvation. Like a man possessed by the modern demon of innovation, Assembly member Clyde Vanel (such a curious name, is it not?) has thrust forth his manifesto – Bill A7716.

I must laugh, truly laugh! 😂 Here we are, in our infinite wisdom, believing that this mysterious force called “blockchain” – this digital savior – will deliver us from the torments of electoral misconduct. How remarkably similar it is to Raskolnikov’s belief that extraordinary men may transcend moral boundaries!

But wait, dear friends, the comedy grows deeper! 🎭 The bureaucrats, those mysterious figures lurking in the shadows of the Board of Elections, must now contemplate this technological revelation. They shall spend a whole year – yes, a year! – pondering upon this “uncensored truth” (oh, what delicious irony in those words).

And what is this blockchain, you ask? They speak of it as if it were some holy scripture – decentralized, cryptographically secured, immutable! Such grand words! Such magnificent promises! But are we not, in our desperate search for electoral salvation, merely replacing one form of faith with another? 🤷‍♂️

The Assembly and Senate must yet perform their sacred dance of approval, and the governor – that final arbiter of our collective fate – must bestow their blessing. How many souls must be crushed in this bureaucratic purgatory? How many dreams must wither in committee rooms? 😔

Alas, poor Vanel has walked this path before, like Sisyphus with his eternal boulder. His previous attempts vanished into the governmental void, leaving not even an echo in the governor’s chamber. One must wonder – is this persistence admirable, or is it merely the beautiful madness of our times? 🎪
