Problem is there’s maybe ten out of a few hundred million Americans I trust running agencies like the FDA or EPA, yoinking randos from some podunk town to legislate on the national scale is guaranteed to go down in flames.
I think we’re just too big. Too much power is centralized at the federal level trying to balance interests that are too far removed. I think we should break up in ~6 smaller chunks with far more autonomy while maintaining EU style trade and travel so there’s still a sense of cohesion.
