I never thought about a solution to small state problem

except disunion, or breaking up the large states.

This is all interactive, I know more after California has had two debates, including petition drives recently. The more we decide, the more I know as an indivisual, I know we are stuck, it is a fundamental.

The knowledge leads me to numbers, and the numbers lead me to small state extinction and the senate stops, Constitutional crisis. That leads me down two thoughts, one, Coase theorem only depends on relative transaction costs. If a Coasian deal can be made in the face of impending, higher transaction costs, then it is best. It boils down to finite choices known and the algebra computed, the proper path will obviously be the Coasian deal.

Second: We have explored many paths these past few years, none of them accepted, and a few states are on the edge. We are getting more obstinate 'no' in the senate. That leads me to the 100 year problem, and small state/large state blunder looms very large in American history, near the top. It is coming to a head, like  generational, monetary, Moore's law. All at once.

We need the MMT, the Constitutional Blunder adjustment Act, the generational overlap. And our intellectual heavy weights come from Wyoming, where the largest town has 60,000 people.

The unexplored paths to small state issue

Let the smaller states die off and combine with their neighbors?  There are a lot of unknowns, like having one large, almost depopulated state in upper Northwest.  Making all programs proportional by allocating according to district?  Likely not, any small state still sees a marginal gain from earmark cheating.

Uncovering the unknowns is just as costly as any other solutions, these are taboo topics. Doing nothing has impending costs, it means more, and sooner shutdowns. So what?

But int the Constitution, fall in love with the small rural state, cash them in yearly, and enforce Due process. Du process means citizen's can vote with their feet across state lines and recover the unfair taxation. It is like nationalizing the rhinestone cowboys and indians, making John Wayne movies great again. Keep the NRA nuts in work camp.
