    It is quite insane that there are only three countries that have larger GDP than these seven regions: China, Japan and Germany.

    Still US doesn’t have public healthcare and free educations. Those would be peanuts in money. Crazy.

      It would save money. On average citizens would pay less than they do right now.

      Americans don’t vote with their brain, they vote with their limbic system.

        It’s not a personal problem, it’s a systemic one. Americans are disenfranchised by little percentages that add up here and there until broadly popular positions can’t get made into law. The Senate is inherently gerrymandered. Congress is gerrymandered depending on each state legislature. We’ve got the electoral college for president and supreme court justices are selected for life just depending on when the last one died. And everything driven by who can raise the most campaign funds.
