    What if every congressional bill was limited to 1000 words, so citizens and legislators could actually read and discuss them before voting on them? #justcurious

        Or 50. One a week. They've have time to think about what they're doing.

        arbitrary limitations like that aren't likely to produce better laws any more than short contracts create better deals

        Washington can be fixed with two laws that use the non-gameable nature of time: 1) no bill may be brought to the floor for a vote until the entire thing has been read aloud by a human and you must be present for the entire reading to vote. 2) no consecutive terms for any office

        Been Shapiro suggests a similar idea, while also limiting it to a single item.

        They would probably make a "bill thread".

        Maybe start with a more realistic goal. Like 1000 pages.

        What if every bill and subsection of that bill was written and voted on directly by the people it effects? I’m off to Mars.

        all laws and regulation could be made concise, at cost of having courts of equity with powers to decide on unspecified details
