    Mate, we got our representation capped because we ran out of space…

    There’s not infinite office space in the Capitol Building, that’s why House office are in an adjoing building.

    It’s not rocket appliances

      BS. Representation got capped because capping it benefited those in power.

      It’s easy to allocate more representative to more seats, it’s easy to allocate more office space to more representatives - even if it’s not necessarily in the same building.

      This issue has come up in a multitude of nations, and everyone has managed to dive this puzzle - and you expect people to believe that “the greatest nation on earth” can’t do it, because there’s apparently a finite amount of fucking office space in America??
