“Make Congress Work Again”

This is going to require good branding and simplified explanations.

What we have going for us is that basically everyone agrees that Congress isn’t functional.

You need a small list of very focused demands. Occupy Wall Street and BLM failed because they started tacking on too many things.

Here are demands that will fix the core issues at the federal level:

1. An expansion of the number of seats in the house and senate. At the federal level, each congress person represents far too many constituents. This is not unprecedented; the house has been expanded before.
2. We must switch from first-past-the-post to proportional representation.
3. The Senate’s role in passing legislation must be reduced to a time-based veto only. Meaning: a bill passed by the House must be vetoed by the Senate within 90 days or it goes to the president’s desk.
4. An overturning of the Citizens United decision and publicly funded elections.
5. Removal of the presidental pardon.

These five items must be implemented if our democracy is to survive. Everything else can be handled after.

I’m not trying to start a fight here.
Your comments come off as someone who is naive to how bad many families are to the point of having a disneyfied view of family.

I’m really glad your personal experience has been great, but please know that is not as common as you think.

Even crazier fact: it’s not just capillary action drawing water up trees. Trees are actually able to create negative pressure: https://www.science4all.org/article/the-amazing-physics-of-water-in-trees/

I’m… concerned they are prediabetic.

That’s not how metabolism works. You’d need to get into a starvation state before the number of calories getting burned changes significantly - and that takes a long time.

If you actually need constant snacks throughout the day, you should get checked for diabetes.
