I ask the following to hopefully promote discussion, I don't necessarily espouse the opinion.
With most of the US critically thinking about the electoral / senatorial systems, and how the scales do tip towards rural states..
What concessions, if any, should rural states / areas be entitled to, given that they are the food producers for our country? On paper, that could provide leverage / a "bargaining chip" in this discussion.
The flip-side to this coin is that the more urban states / areas are the economic drivers of the country, which is clearly a source of leverage as well.
I feel like most people don't think about it in these terms, and I'm curious how it would impact their opinions when adding the dimension of leverage / "social value" to population.
Perhaps these should have no weight on a discussion of representation?
