I've talked to many extremely smart people who have a blind spot the size of an electoral system on this issue.
Much like funding healthcare or education, or drug policy, this is a solved problem, with known effective solutions. We just don't do it. It's bizarre.
Like - these same very smart people I talk to will laugh at Carlin's jokes about how the system is rigged; big club that we're not in; have to be asleep to believe it, etc. But on this issue their brains turn off, like a switch. Goddam spooky is what it is.
