Rural areas deserve more representation. It seems that living in big cities destroys people's ability to think clearly. Constantly on the go and their brains rattled by noise and air pollution causes long term degradation in their thought processes. Rural people who live at a slower pace, breathe clean air, and aren't compromised by noise pollution help keep our country from falling off a cliff. I think the founding fathers understood this.

They are already over represented. Land mass does not vote.
California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Texas. And yet the other 42 will have 84% of the power of the senate?

except for the opiods and something in the air that causes them to be on SSI.

Again... That's overwhelmingly a Dem problem. Look at the stats for SSI. There's actual research on this. In a 2-party study, Dems are 2/3 of those on public assistance, SSI, etc.:

Share of Recipients of each program that identified as supporters of the Republican party:
Gov. Subsidized Housing 12%
Medicaid: 16%
Food Stamps: 20%
Unemployment Compensation: 21%
Welfare or public assistance: 22% Disability benefits from government 25% (compared to 64% Democrats)
It's in the Dems' best interest to keep a certain percentage of the population poor and on public assistance to maintain their voter base. They wouldn't be able to win elections without them.
And even worse, it's minorities (Blacks, and to a lesser degree, Hispanics) who are very disproportionately kept poor.
Now that Dem voters understand that you're supporting the maintenance and growth of a perpetually poor and welfare-programs dependent underclass that MUST be kept poor in order to keep most of them voting Dem, will they all still go along with that?
Get a clue, Dems... Why do you think liberals are SO on board with "open borders" that keep low-end wages depressed? Doing so guarantees their voter base.

The one's who have much less education? They're the ones who should have more representation?
And your point is what exactly? That the 8 States should exert their will over the 42?
My point is that it is an antiquated system.
