Idgaf. And I do actually take pride in saying what I feel in a time where doing so is so repressed.

I truly feel that it is stupid to use ‘are’ for nouns that are a collective.

So go ahead and insult America, makes you no different than the rest of the world we’re protecting.

Yes. Ethanol is a flammable, colorless, slightly toxic chemical compound, and is best known as the alcohol found in alcoholic beverages. In common usage, it is often referred to simply as alcohol.

Now do the senate. CA says fuck you all.

I'm glad to hear "married affair" is holding steady near the bottom

cool, i mean it already seems pretty safe

Why shouldn't everyone have equal representation?

This thing has is a hot mess. Where's the label on the y-axis?

I'm not sure what this is trying to say. What do the bars represent? At first I thought it was a proportion but Montana doesn't go to one. KY/AK the middle states which have the line of 32.5% (the number that matches with your Y axis) seem to be 3 or 4 times the size of Delaware, not 32.5%x.

I understand that states are given representatives at a ratio of one rep per appx. 750k people. No state is able to be exactly divided into 750k people, so some states are going to be slightly over and slightly under that number. Couldn't the variance be ascribed to random chance?

I came across a paper addressing this issue. It concluded that even though the central government tends to exaggerate economic progress the provincial governments tend to understate its economic performance to avoid tax extraction. So overall the number isn’t much deviate from reality. But that's just my two cents.

How does having 2 reps instead of 1 grant you more representation in a congress of 435?

0 x 2 = 0

Even right now in a fairly split congress, you are 2/9ths of a potential swing vote. You'd need 4 additional over-represented small states fully on your side.

You do have equal representation in the senate, by design.

Is ethanol basically just all alcohol?

OMG, you’re right! Let’s give more power to New York and California. That will be great. 👍

We just had a map on this yesterday.

Yes. Niche interests is definitely a sign of asd

Just so everyone understands how the house works:

The Census Bureau does a Census every 10 years - the Commerce Dept uses the Census results to proportion house members between the 50 states.

In the 1990 census Montana had no growth - so they lost one of their two house seats.

In the 2020 census Montana showed a grow rate of over 20% = this resulted in them getting their seat back that they had lost in 1993.

In 2022 - Montana will have 2 senators and 2 house members.

Delaware's population over the past 10 years grew at about 1/2 of the pace of Montana... Delaware has 980k (approx) vs 1.084 million for Montana. Rhode Island is also ahead of DE in terms of population.

So bottom line... it works.

By the way - the reallocation was done under Biden. Not Trump. The split of Montana into two districts was done by the state of Montana - if if anyone thinks that a D was going to win either seat - I have some really great swampland in jersey for sale - cheap.

Least ignorant and arrogant American

You keep talking about the data when you know that’s not what I’m criticizing. Im questioning YOUR subjective interpretations of the data that you typed out. And I’ve already typed an entire paragraph explaining why I felt your analysis was leaving context out. At this point it feels like you’re being purposely facetious

name one thing that this data doesnt prove

Nice try. Nobody asked you to alter data, or has questioned the validity of the data, im asking you to explain your own personal interpretations of it that you slid in to it. Leave the data be. I’m talking about your subjective claims about it that seem to be slightly Dubious

More rational or powerless?
