    Tech illiteracy testing becomes a barrier that harms poor though.

    Poor people are more likely to be tech illiterate due to lack of exposure to technology or classes that had access to tech.

    Tech test = no people who aren’t rich able to make it into office. I’m not for that.

    I do wish there was a requirement for them AFTER they were in office to be given mandatory lessons on really basic fundamentals of tech, and THEN be required to pass to keep their office, but you’d have to be really careful on who gets to make the test, how it’s administered, etc. due to an ability to meddle in that to push for your team.

    …But yes - a double-blind “marbles test” administered anonymously on both ends by a 3rd party board-certified medical team would be nice.
