You know, I think it could have merit to have politics more transparent. Being able to see which person / lobbyist proposed and got which exact changes in, that would be very enlightening.

Also getting the discussions that happen behind the scenes out in the open… I would like that. Never mind the flame wars.

You know.... I've been tracking political stuff in a bookmark manager. Would Jira actually do a better job? I could link things together and write about updates....

Would an issue tracker in general do a better job? Maybe.
Jira specifically? Unlikely.

Problem: people are starving. Response: not a bug, actually a feature.

I imagine the disputes would get heated.

I don't think politicians have actually solved any issues in a while.

Oh god, I can already see the massive flamewars happening in PRs to change laws.

I have a friend who's sort of doing this with legislation so it's codified and referenced.

Can't find a good example but there is this https://hamish.dev/happy-valentines-day-nerds
