For real though it sucks that Britain, a damp rock the size of one of my city's medium sized parks, has a legislature with more representatives than the United States. We deserve better.

this is my most crank-coded belief but it’s good, actually. Basically fixes gerrymandering and the electoral college on its own

Now that Congress will have to more expertly write rules after Chevron, uncapping the house will allow more experts across multiple industries to have the potential to be elected.

Doesn't really fix either, but still a good idea. * Modern mapping tools can gerrymander so much better, this helps but doesn't even get us back to 2010. * Main problem with EC isn't malapportionment (which this mostly fixes), but winner-take-all (which it doesn't).

Fixing a small part of the problem(s), and making it easier to fix the rest, is good! But don't oversell it.
