Might have to start cutting them to head off bank runs at some point.

You have states like Wisconsin which are battleground states that decide elections. The states themselves are gerrymandered to fuck, Wisconsin has two thirds GOP lock on the statehouse with less than fifty percent of the statewide vote. And they use this to pass laws which will eventually mean no Democrat can ever win a presidential election. This stuff is just ongoing and largely under the radar but it's going to hit a tipping point at some point which will mean game over for fair elections in America. It's a matter of time.
