And I’m okay with it being disproportionate because they also run a good chunk of our agriculture and do have a good chunk of land, but the scales are definitely too too far . They shouldn’t be drowning out 80% of our population just because they have a lot of space.
This is also just neglecting the value that the rest provide
For example, what about the people who make the farming machines? And then to take it further what about them making software for it? What about the people making software to make software? What about the ones making the parts to make the machines? And so on
We don’t live in a vacuum anymore. You don’t do farming with just a few simple tools, and farmers aren’t self sufficient, they participate in society and use all the other society stuff too
Trying to weight voted by provided value gets super complicated and messy fast, especially if you start including stuff like disabilities and such. Is this really the way to go?
Under our current system, “weight by value” just means that we are actually instantiating an olligarchy. I mean we already are, but that would be full blown mask off.
Or what, they’ll stop producing food? States that are big on financial companies could claim they deserve more representation because they finance everybody else. Or states with a lot of military because they pertect Freedum. Etc. Nope, you’re a citizen, you get equal representation.
