The Senate isn’t intended to be a representative body

Both the house and senate vote to pass bills. The disproportionate population increases have led to less representation of citizens in more populated states.

It's already illegal to open other people's mail. Intercepting mail in the US is a really quick way to get absolutely fucked by the law. There haven't been any cases of people's votes being recorded as far as I've searched. What more would you want?

You have done a good job of beginning to outline why things are going to break rather than change.

Imagine trying to get smaller states to vote in favor of decreasing their power.

There's something great about an easily comprehendible list that everyone can understand.

I focused on reality and all it did was make me start thinking we're fucked, so I made a list of solutions.

Yea I think I'll add this to the v4. Incentivize rather than punish. Just give people an extra $100 a month in their UBI for voting.

No, states still would elect a number of representatives based on their population. Just no 2 senators per state.

Oh fuck all that shit. I'll add "ban private prisons and penal labor" to v4.

Maybe I will add "Revoke Scientology tax-exempt status" in v4.

Extremely best case: everyone votes by mail early so no one has to rush and struggle to vote on election day.

Not necessary, already solved with the 13th amendment. This is a list of solutions which have not yet been implemented.

Yea STAR voting is better, will add to v4, better than the winner take all bullshit we have right now.

States don't deserve equal representation. American citizens deserve equal representation, they are the ones who create value.

I can make money off of debt as well, but I can't raise my own debt ceiling. Can someone help me understand why?

Meanwhile cycling in any major US city is extremely unsafe and they ban cyclists from the sidewalks.

Fuck this guy, nepotism in plain sight bullshit fucking system that needs to be dismantled.

Yes, ban minimum wage exceptions and service charges. Also I think taxes should be included on the prices of grocery store items.

Those are some good questions.

There’s no solution needed, since there isn’t a problem to begin with.

This is funny, it's like an self soothing mantra. I'll try to repeat this to myself as things get worse.
