Congress Needs To Tackle Issues The People Actually Care About Like Universal TV Volume Between Streaming Platforms

I am a simple man with simple needs. I don't ask for much. I am tired of the fat cats in Washington ignoring the mid-class citizens like me. All they do is argue about policies and events and normally I don't even understand the words they're saying most of the time. It's too hard to follow. 

They need to start doing things for guys like me. As a white male in my 30s I feel totally helpless and unrepresented in Congress. They are supposed to be working for us and yet they let this college football realignment happen without so much as a peep. 

Maybe this is too big of an issue for Congress. It's complicated to figure out how all of these non-profit institutions making millions upon millions upon millions are tax exempt. 

So I suggest congress start small. Just take all of these streaming and TV execs who are sitting around not doing anything except for how to get AI to replace actors and writers and get them to have a universal volume level. I don't understand how I can have HBO MAX and the volume is comfortable at 14, but when I switch to hulu it needs to be at 55 and when an ad comes on hulu my windows shake and the dog runs into the bedroom. Why can't everyone just get on the same page so we don't blow out our eardrums. There has to be a standard. How hard can it be to set a volume? You'd think it'd all be the same kind of by default. These companies are probably going out of their way to be different. They're definitely charging advertisers a premium to make commercials louder. That should be illegal. Hulu is probably just conspiring to make a little more on ads and trying to bully my ears into paying them directly for premium. Feels like something that should be regulated. 

I don't ask for much. I'd even look the other way on Tuberville blatantly doing insider trading if he still cared about college football conferences and gave me universal volume standards.
