So we make all these changes and also block people from having meetings with their representitives?

I don't think I suggested that at all. On the contrary, the 30k Reps rule would make meetings with constituents far easier.

I might move in the other direction and require meetings with constituents on a periodic basis. That, along with a host of other strictures on how a sitting or retired legislator can make money, host/attend events, or otherwise avail themselves of corporate/foreign patrons.

But that means a lot of policing of the legislature and prosecuting of offenders, which affords the executive enormous leverage over individual seats reps. So maybe not.

I think expanding the legislature solves an immediate problem of access to reps and dilutes the power of individual reps relative to their voters. I'll spot you it isn't foolproof.

You know that I never actually said it was easy or didn’t need improvement

You came in dismissing the reality of lobbying relative to the idealized view.

You seen much more grounded in the facts as they exist today, now.
