Not choosing sides here (both sides are being irresponsible and goofy (or not), one perhaps more than the other).

To address your rebuttal: To get better statistics, more-local democracy, and reduce the likelihood of catastrophic failure, we could partition those 300 million into roughly 50 subunits and let each partition vote on what ought to happen.

Problem is, those partitions are far too leaky as people, goods, and money move across the partition so freely.
