Good thing every one of their votes is worth as much as everyone's in those green states, right? Hahhaa... right???
-
"but we need agriculture to vote". That's what I hear, that they'd be downed out of we went off pure population. Except, the population IS being drowned out by a few very conservative states right now who have populations of a fraction of that of our cities, and now they want to implement things that actively hurt our cities simply because they don't like them.
Fine we still need a system that has some balance, but right now I'd hardly say there's a balance at all

Rural people make up 20% of the US population. They SHOULD be drowned out by the other 80%, or putting it less antagonistically they should have their fair share of influence, which is 20%. The Senate is a giant thumb on the scale that gives rural voter representation a stranglehold on the government. Talkin' to you, Moscow Mitch.

Generally people like to eat. AG is going to be safe.

Nah fuck them farmers. We live under capitalism, let that shit system ride. If we defund the farmers, either new farmers take their place or we starve and capitalism collapses. Both of these seem like net positives

Idk how accurate this is anymore. LA county is 9.7 million while Michigan, North Carolina and Georgia all have a population over 10 million.
-
based on 2023 estimates: ca, tx, fl, ny, pa, il, oh, ga, nc, and mi all have populations over la county's 9.66 million.

Looks like you're right, but frankly LA County having more people than 40 states instead of 43 doesn't drastically change the picture.

I remember when I moved to L.A. getting to the start of L.A. county and thinking, "finally! I'm here!" The apartment I rented was in Hollywood. I was surrounded by urban sprawl. I assumed I'd be there in at most 45 minutes or an hour because it was the middle of the day and traffic was going smoothly.
And then L.A. county just keeps going... and going... and going...
And then I saw the Hollywood sign. Almost there!

Sounds like it should break off into its own state, getting us two more senators and EC votes.
-
How, no one actually lives in LA it's just a tourist attraction
-
The county is a bit larger than the city.
-
-
Putting it another way, only six states + California have more people than LA county.
-
That's too many. They should stop it
-
Huh, didn't realize Ohio was that populous
-
Cincinnati and Cleveland both have decently-sized populations and there are enough smaller cities like Columbus and (ugh) Youngstown to add to that.
Remember that the reason Illinois doesn't fit that map is mostly due to Chicago.
-
I'm honestly surprised, what with the rate of suicides due to people having to live with the fact that they live in Ohio.

How old is this? 2023 says otherwise re: NC
-
English failure. 2 counts.
-
Yet another great reason to never visit LA County.
-
You hate other people that much?
-
I guess so.

Sounds like hell on Earth to me.
