How about we just go back to expanding the House based on population instead of keeping it static at 435 forever? We're approaching a million constituents per representative. Corruption seems a mathematical certainty.

If cars are computers on wheels now, seems time to buy a case and components and put it together instead of just gettin' a Dell. Ford's electric crate motor is out now: https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M

Curious by which metric(s) you consider Samsung Internet Browser superior to Chrome for Android?
