Too many courts to court. It's why I advocate the US return to the ratio of representatives originally defined in the constitution; harder to bribe ~13,000 representatives than 435.


>harder to bribe ~13,000 representatives than 435 If you're a multibillionaire, not really. And you really just need certain committees and committee heads.


So you are arguing it's easier to bribe more people? Interesting argument.


I think they're pointing out XX,000 representatives still doesn't matter if only X00 have functional control over $trillions of budget allocations.

Probably need such a broad dispersion and decentralization that you approach a rough high-level facsimile of a UBI before you really blunt the influence your parent post was pointing out.

We already have that problem with 435 people.

It's harder to bribe more people, just say it.
