Thanks for these points, Chris. There are a ton of tweaks we can make that could go a long way. Rank-choice voting, election holidays, automatic voter registration, etc that would go a long way. But I agree, local gov't matters. And as politics has become a national conversation, we've lost some of the richness of local politics.

The second point is also an important point. We don't pay attention to these things until they fail. And it's not just Texas, or Michigan...it's AMERICA. Our entire electrical system is outdated, and it's more crucial now given the electronic means of our communication than ever before. It fails far more often. I wrote about this in Healing Politics.
