Never understood how elected officials don't show up to vote. The vote should not happen unless everyone is present. They are elected to vote on measures. It is their job.

Based on the bold text above, they would never vote on anything that they disagreed on.

"He said fortunately, nobody was hurt and the arches are still under warranty."

How long is the warranty on something like that?

IDK, but I see this was covered as Breaking News...

Yea...all votes only happen with full attendance. Things started going sideways, then the shaming for not being there to vote will start.

Or they respect the people that voted them in and just do their job and quit getting wasted at lobbyist lunches and missing the afternoon vote.

I dream.

Voting is required to pass a budget that allows government funded activities to happen.

Let's just compromise and have state militias and don't bother with the federal bullshit.

thats still gonna require votes to fund those militias, just at the State level.

The fact is if you're going to have any government activity at all, you have to have a funded budget and you need a vote to pass the budget. [I'm assuming we prefer this decision not being made by a single person]

Whether its a big government with lots of overreach or a tiny faction that does 1 thing, this is the rate limiting step.

You could technically get away with 1 vate a year, no new laws... this has to be it. Gotta pass a budgetary plan.

Not a bad idea. Wonder how true this statement remains once we are extracting terawatts from it though?
"Earth’s geological engine isn’t scheduled to die for a billion years"
