    It’s like when the government refuses to comment on something. Motherfucker you are a servant of the state, you are under our mandate. We tell you to speak, you fucking speak you dancing fucking monkey.

    We need a new system. We can’t be running shit the same way in the AI age and a global population of, what, 9 billion?

    Our old systems of governance did NOT scale.

    Consider the population of the US in the 1700’s. We have about a hundred times that now, but the same amount of representatives.

    That means that every representative today has power over a hundred times more people than originally when the constitution was written.

    That changes everything.

      No… The house of representatives has grown multiple times with the last permanent growth in 1913. It did temporarily grow by 2 when Alaska and Hawaii were made states, but went back to 435 after those states got their appropriations of representatives.
