Congress should have to live in dorms in DC and not be allowed to have apartments there unless they are from DC itself.
And they should have to eat in a cafeteria. Together. Once a day when congress is in session.

@futurebird The models of the Oxbridge College may be more suitable, and similar to those of a military mess and other purposeful groups.
@futurebird but they can’t be from DC, because DC has no congressional representation!
They have a rep who can't vote but who sometimes tries to cause trouble. But that is just another thing that needs to be fixed.
@futurebird not a representative, a delegate! DC does elect two shadow senators and one shadow representative, but they have no official role other than to be ready to be seated in Congress should the District become a state or otherwise be granted representation.
Well until they can vote they don't need to stay at the dorms.
@futurebird Yes, this, please.
@futurebird And take public transit.
@troublewithwords @futurebird and use healthcare.gov
@futurebird i think that congress should not exist if its this detached from the rest of material reality
This would be a step away from the nonsense. And it would make them easier to supervise.
@futurebird eat family style with a different congress person serving every night. Rotating who is at each table so they have to meet, interact with and serve their fellow members. Too cognitively frail to remember orders, then you are definitely too cognitively frail to be in congress.
