That was clearly a joke. Look at my previous comment in my comment history.

Will Elon bring Jack back? They seem to be friends.

adding additional friction to a process always increases the difficulty of the process and the cost of overcoming that friction is always borne by the consumer.

Direct democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner.

tyranny of the masses is equally as bad as tyranny of the one especially considering how tribalistic people are.

That's why the framers of the Constitution decided against what you're proposing.

as to the right size question. there is no right size. it's totally arbitrary. States are what we have and that's fine.

What will most likely happen is that the prices of pork will go up in Cali to accommodate for their laws and stay the same everywhere else.

Regulation simply equals increased prices which is essentially a tax on the middle class and poor.

Whatever was regulated will become a luxury. The rich will have it but the middle class and poor will not.

See car prices, gas prices, food prices, liquor licenses, etc. Anything the government gets it's hand on to regulate increases prices.

The rich don't notice the increased cost of regulation but the middle class and poor suffer.

That would violate the 13th amendment. Abolishing slavery is literally in the constitution up there with freedom of speech and right to carry arms.
