That was clearly a joke. Look at my previous comment in my comment history.

tyranny of the masses is equally as bad as tyranny of the one especially considering how tribalistic people are.
That's why the framers of the Constitution decided against what you're proposing.
as to the right size question. there is no right size. it's totally arbitrary. States are what we have and that's fine.
Regulation simply equals increased prices which is essentially a tax on the middle class and poor.
Whatever was regulated will become a luxury. The rich will have it but the middle class and poor will not.
See car prices, gas prices, food prices, liquor licenses, etc. Anything the government gets it's hand on to regulate increases prices.
The rich don't notice the increased cost of regulation but the middle class and poor suffer.
The intention was for state legislatures to nominate electors who would then vote for president.
It wasn't until mid 1800's that states started elections (of electors) by popular vote. Note: still through an elector proxy.
Also this is not a government run by popular vote, it is a mixture of state and population based government and also representation democracy not direct democracy.
In The Federalist Papers, James Madison explained his views on the selection of the president and the Constitution. In Federalist No. 39, Madison argued that the Constitution was designed to be a mixture of state-based and population-based government. Congress would have two houses: the state-based Senate and the population-based House of Representatives. Meanwhile, the president would be elected by a mixture of the two modes.
The fact that people feel that states shouldn't have equal say and equal power is to me a huge breakdown of society.
Having California run the entire country would be a nightmare.
This is a great way to put it.
When you have so many mergers/aq. that build de facto monopolies there's no incentive for companies to care about their employees and the emphasis becomes on the image of caring vs actual caring.
As the employee has a small selection of companies to work for and jobs become about bureaucracy and politics instead of actual `work` and there's not much you as employee can do about it.
The companies not caring about customers but pretending to is another story tangential to this one.
I like where your head's at but the fact that it's possible to do an overthrow of the system if you have 51% of the miners worries me.
I go work at a coffee shop and coworking spaces and have made more friends then going into an office and seeing the same 10 people everyday.
How could you extrapolate that seeing the same office people everyday all day is good for.yiur social life.
It was half ass browser language originally with improvements bolted on.
There's literally a hundred languages you can choose.
Sometimes it's more complicated though.
In 2019 there was the longest flood in Mississippi river history literally 3 years ago.

Now a three years later it's at one of lowest in history.
It shouldn't make the news but it's easy to alarm influenceable people.
The money dried up
the aquifer dried up
the relationship dried up
the oil dried up....
People use 'levels are low' or something similar for temporary conditions.
I'm not really going to debate this anymore.
"Is drying up" is way different than "levels are low". Drying up is as permanent as something can get.
Then they also tend to have to do their own security and spec out their own tickets and then do Project Management.
Most tech people should be called DevSecOpsBizAnalystProjectManager.
