Mathematics, however, shows the optimal legislature size is approximately the cube root of the population.

Like the last few decades. Yet, no one does anything of meaningful impact. Move along. This fight keeps on fighting.

It is just now worse. The older generation is in fuck you I've got mine mode and the younger generation has to work 3 jobs just to barely get by. Frustrates me when people say " living the American Dream" . There is no such thing. Work hard they say. Plenty of people work hard and never get anywhere or any respect.

Question: when cutting a council in half, is it better to do it longways or cross ways? If you leave them with a torso, you only get charged with maiming. Slicing them in two along the spine is liable to have you charged with murder.

TBH it is weird that the Tennessee State Senate has fewer members (33) than the Nashville Metro Council (40).

Buddy I don’t know what world you live in but most of us have a job and a 401(k) The economy and the stock market is essential for us to retire and not work till we’re 60.

It's been high for a few decades.

Edit: If you look at the housing market, healthcare, and tuition. These specific industries have been terrible. And I don't believe housing is even factored into inflation because it's an "investment". I'm not sure about the other two industries.

“This will set us back decades,” said Democratic Sen Charlane Oliver, a Black lawmaker from Nashville. “This will disproportionately impact the Black representation, the minority representation and dilute — not just dilute — it will steal and silence our voices.”

Which is entirely the point, of course.

"'Conventional wisdom for the past four decades has been that smaller group sizes tend to make better decisions...' said Republican Sen. Adam Lowe of Calhoun."

Then why don't they vote to halve the size of every city council in the entire state?

So much for the party of Local Control...
