To an analytical scientist, "happiness is a straight line correlation". Thanks for the graph. 588 would be an improvement
Congresscritters would never have to leave their districts, but could stay home listening and interacting with their 29,999 other constituents. Then they could participate in Congress via PC.
Congressional committees and subcommittees could meet in different cities to do business, rather than in DC.
One benefit to a "distributed" Congress of thousands of members would be that it would make the job of the K Street lobbyists impossible. Buying influence and passing out "campaign contributions" would be prohibitive due to the cost of servicing so many congresscritters. And the ever-present voice of the constituents next door and down the block would drown out the influence of the lobbyists.
This would also solve the problem of a terrorist taking out the Capitol building. There would be too many targets distributed all over the country.
Food for thought.
