there was a missing FCC commissioner until just last fall. not that they would've done anything about spam calls, but they would've at least had the power to do, y'know, more than literally nothing
current FCC chair was named acting chair almost immediately & confirmed 9 months after Biden was sworn in, after a transition that was thwarted in every way. Confirmations were the slowest pace of any cabinet mostly due to delays in passing the resolution for governing an evenly split Senate
They are already saying that if Harris wins and the Republicans take the senate that she might opt to keep the same cabinet because no one will be able to get approved

And incredibly wasteful! Their organs should be harvested and donated first.

This system wastes so much human competency.
