Thank god your post saved my browser from performing a name query because the image link is a static ip address.

Gonna go out on a limb here and say this is not actually a real problem. Humanity can thrive with fewer than 9 billion people. Keeping the total count high is not actually important, it is just a symptom of MBA brain "number big good" and the thinking of imperialist nations that need meat for the grinder. Fuck both of those. Let people live and if they want kids then great. Maybe if the earth didn't seem to be bursting at the seams with people then women would want to have more children. But right now it is fucking crowded and we're in the midst of a mass extinction event that may cause incredible turmoil on our otherwise stable ecosystems.

Yeah, term limits are necessary. But I was thinking more along the lines of at-large legislators instead of tying them to districts, finding ways to encourage experts in various fields to join congress instead of it devolving into nothing but lawyers and real estate owners, anti-corruption language with enough teeth to scare away the riff-raff, mandating that literally all communications (verbal and written) of elected officials are recorded and public record no more than 30 days after the fact, etc etc.
