Less of a flaw in how Congress / Parliament is formed, more of a flaw in how laws don't require a sunset provision, or absent one operate on a default 15-20 yea

We know murder should always be illegal - it should be noncontroversial to modify a 15-20 yr default sunset to "500 years" and call it a day
Some form of cryptocurrency legislation should probably be treated more like a "well this is new territory" so move the date up and punt it to a future Congress to renew based on how good of a result was able to be achieved
- mwint 4y agoI’d argue that it’s a fine use of time to make murder illegal again every 15-20 years. That would help avoid the ridiculous “20 years in prison and a $1500 fine”-type laws that exist everywhere (made back when $1500 was a fortune). In my state, detonating a “weapon of mass destruction” is punishable by life in prison, and/or a $50,000 fine.
