    This happened to me on a regular basis for a couple years, just sans medication.

    Coming to in the parking lot or badging in and realizing you have no idea what happened between getting in the car and now.

    3am start times with a 20min drive will do that to you.



  • The electoral college is quite literally based on the apportionment of Congress.

    The average congressional seat accounts for 760k people.

    In 1930 (first Congress after this was law), the average was 280k.

    Even using Wyoming as a basis (590k/rep), that would give California ~71 electoral votes (69 house seats) if there was equal representation. And this would also drastically improve the balance of power in the House.

    So my contention is that even without fixing the electoral college as a concept, we can fix it with appropriate apportionment.
