Agree with him or disagree with him, I want more Thomas Massies in congress. MIT for his undergrad and masters, EE/ME, start-up founder with a successful exit, drove an electric car well before it was viable, did all the wood-framing in his house by hand by himself after taking a class, took a totaled Tesla and built a homebrew powerbank (before the Tesla powerbank existed) fed by solar panels on his roof.

I came to know him when he was in his first few years in congress and went on a 20 minute tirade about the dual-ec-drbg scandal -- which has conspicuously gone missing from the cspan archives. [2] It was brutal, and it immediately put him on my radar because he clearly understood the nuance of it.
Sure, he might be a competent electrical engineer, but he's a climate-change denying edgelord who even Trump called a "third-rate grandsander". Among many, many other things, he is pro-Putin, pr-patent trolls, and tried to force the House to meet in person a the height of COVID.
